That's fixed in kernel 3.12, which you can grab from the
https://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/rawhide-kernel-nodebug/ repo and
should work OK on F19, I think.

That's odd, that's how I have mine set up and I don't have that problem
at all. Try it with kernel 3.12 maybe? Beyond that I'm not sure. When
you say 'BIOS set to static graphics' do you mean using the hack that
went around back when the systems first came out? That's what I have
too.
