You might mention what hardware you have (lspci output for the nvidia
card... just need the chip name), and what kernels the various distros
are using. (I think that Ubuntu/Fedora tend not to make frankenkernels
like RHEL does, so the version has some sort of correlation to actual
upstream versions.) That might help identify potential issues that
were fixed.
