You said that you're using intel graphics?

As far as I know for F11 there is a huge difference between 965 and
newer chipsets vs. everything else (8xx etc.).

 [christian@laptop ~]$ lspci | grep VGA
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 0c)

So if you're using an 8xx chipset there is a good chance that stuff will
just work once F12 is released as the new intel driver (in combination
with the new kernel) fixes a lot of issues with those chips.

Altought I'm not using 8xx, I'm tempted to switch to Rawhide just for testing the new driver and kernel. Is Rawhide in good state right now? IIRC, Beta is close.
