Hello,

The problems with DRM are very serious - there are a couple of
kernel bugs (the "vblank count" messages or something worse -
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=514897) and
incompatibilities with xorg-x11-drv-intel (like
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=473347). And furthermore
the DRM support in Rawhide is totally broken (even more!). The good news
is that the developers are working hard to fix the things and I hope
that by the autumn (F12) everything will be ok. :)
