I was lucky that Chris Shook came to my rescue, otherwise I'd be deeply frustrated. It seems to me, that you may need to post your friend's issue in a separate thread, with the proper subject line and detail the issue and supply the Linux 'modinfo <driver>' and the 'lsmod | grep <driver>' as well as the drivers used in XP (and any other Multiboot OSes drivers) in the email message body and also posit that you believe it is a driver conflict problem OR use Fedora's bugzilla and pray that someone who is working on that specific driver sees your post and will respond.

Thank you for your response Dan and will do what I can then
