Upgrade to F-12. F-11 is going to be entirely problematic because of
differing DRM ABIs which will take ages to sort out. Other than that,
please be patient, it's really arduous to ensure that userspace and the
kernel stay compatible right now.

Thankfully, this all goes away with F-12, since the DRM ABI is close to
upstreams.
