I noticed this sort of problem with previous versions of fedora, too,
though definitely worse with the nouveau driver in F11. I mostly use the
legacy nvidia driver which just flickers briefly and then recovers by
itself, whereas with F11 and nouveau I have to touch the mouse to get
the display back. (Now reverted to nvidia - I like the screen candy!)
