There are certainly issues with X11 graphics in F12. On 4 different
systems I have installed it on 3 do not work in 3D (System hangs, etc).
2 of the systems have hangs (X11 and/or system) in 2D.

The problems I have experienced and I believe a number of others
are experiencing are due to graphics driver problems (DRM,DRI,MESA,X11)
with certain graphics chip sets (At least 4 different ones in my case).

I know there are a lot of changes happening on the Graphics front, but
I do feel its time to focus on fixing these issues rather than spending
valuable developer and user time on a new release ...
