Did you file a bug report?

Other distributions are using the same Xorg. There is nothing magical
that is going to fix these issues in other distributions. Fedora is ill
suited for Windows users since they would expect patent encumbered and
proprietary software we don't provide anyway but any regular users
(regardless of whether they were Windows users before) would want things
to work rather than manually configure it by hand. In cases where it
doesn't work, just file a bug report.
