That could be some sort of mismatch between that Rawhide kernel and the
F11 X Server you seem to use (Rawhide currently uses X.Org X Server
1.6.99.1). I'd try one of the following kernel command line options:

    nomodeset
    radeon.modeset=0

Those could be used to work around some issues with Rawhide's Radeon
kernel driver (or Rawhide's Radeon X module, or whatever) a few weeks
back. (It' s just a guess though. I hardly know anything about the way
the kernel and the X Server interact.)
