> 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation 82Q963/Q965 

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=85016 explains the root problem,
which was fixed 2 months ago in release-next of the Intel video driver. If
workaround in
https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/test/2014-October/123346.html
fails, either backlevel the Intel driver to 2.99.914-2 or upgrade to
release-next of the Intel driver.

Using nomodeset is a low performance workaround suitable only if your DE does
not require compositing and you do not require a display mode your video BIOS
and VESA do not support. e.g. 1680x1050.
