Don't use radeonhd, the Fedora X team don't support it and never have.

I'm thinking it should reallyt be removed from the distro at this point
as it makes things worse rather than better. remove your xorg.conf
and turn modesetting on and if its still horrible, then we can talk.

So you've proven you can break your own machine that is all.
