This has been discussed.  Apparently there is a problem
with Intel Graphics Chip coding for X11(?) which is said to
be in a major rewrite, if I recall correctly.

For the time being, the only solution to get around this
is to add: nomodeset to end of the kernel line in grub,
and as for the fix, who knows if this fix will be added to
F11 or will only appear in the next major release be it
F12 or later.  Maybe others can chime in provide the
exact details, as I could be wrong.

FWIW,
