Can you look at the ubuntu machine to see what driver it is using?
Surely the same driver can be used in Fedora.  It is probably an older
driver and so more stable.

Have you examined the /var/log/Xorg.log file to see if there are issues
reported there?

Have you tried turning off modeset for the driver?  i.e. nomodeset on
the kernel line in grub.

If you boot into run level 3, do you have regular console display?

Maybe if you post your /etc/X11/xorg.conf someone will spot something.
You can try generating a new one by running   Xorg -configure   as root
from the command line.
