Mesa isn't a driver, it's an OpenGL-compatible 3D-graphics
library.

No, those are two different drivers. "radeon" is an open-source
driver that's included with Fedora, fglrx is a proprietary
driver available from ATI or third-party repositories.

X11 is the specification of the graphics environment, X.org and
XGL are implementations of the X11 specification.
