I am also running the latest 3.15 on one of my (f20) machines, because 
apparently x11/kernel interaction is broken for me with all 3.16 kernels 
(Intel HD Graphics 4600 GPU),

Hey, another duplicity of events ;)

I am running a hacked up xorg-x11-server on an NVidia-GPU based machine, 
because x11 has issues w/ Nvidia's drivers and Nouveau doesn't work at 
all on this particular machine for a long time ;)
