I suspect I'm seeing something similar.  With the latest rawhide
(xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.12.2-21.fc12.i686 and
kernel-2.6.31-0.125.4.2.rc5.git2.fc12.i686), I'm unable to login to
startx without seeing the following segfault.  

I'm about to head through bugzilla to see if this is reported, and
gathering the information requested in the debug guide (see link above).
For anyone else playing at home ... I see the following backtrace from
X ...
