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.).

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.
