Installed fine to an encrypted PV, rhgb works fine, firstboot came up 
okay (but rootpassword.py crashed: bz #429243) but when X starts, I 
get a black screen with a bit of graphical detrius along the top inch 
or so, gdm doesn't display, and the console locks up hard.  The mouse 
still moves, though.  Can't change VTs.  X refuses to be killed from a 
remote SSH session.  chvt hangs.  I think this bug needs some love 
before Alpha is released, as a lot of us have Radeon chips:
