maybe, but i've never tried.  this might be a separate and unrelated bug 
that was reported on intel chipset based systems.  You should search 
bugzilla or the fedoranews sites, it was fairly prevelent and there was 
a workaround.  thankfully it did not impact me, so i don't remember what 
it was, sorry.
