Comment:

 As I've stated before on the mailing list, the following is still valid:

 most certainly have the

 The KMS feature has been introduced in Fedora with F10 (see
 http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/KernelModesetting) and been
 expanded for other hardware with F11 (see
 http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/IntelKMS and
 http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/NouveauModesetting).

 This is certainly an upstream bug, while finally, we'd at least need to
 know what graphics hardware you're trying to run it on. Closing.
