Aside from the follow-up discussion about startx not granting proper 
access to the DRI /dev nodes and hence forcing llvmpipe rendering - 
which is probably not what's affecting Luya, as he says gdm is working - 
the other probable cause of sluggish performance in F18 is the old debug 
kernel issue. Remember, prior to Beta, most kernel builds have debugging 
enabled, which ever since 2.39 or so has been _very_ slow compared to 
non-debug modes (much more so than used to be the case). Every so often 
the kernel team does a build with debugging disabled, you might want to 
grab one of those builds and see if it resolves the issue before filing 
a bug. If I'm reading the changelog right, the latest non-debug build is 
3.6.0-0.rc2.git0.1:

so give that one a shot.
