The "radeonhd" driver is not really supported in Fedora (some volunteer is
packaging it as an alternative, but it's not the recommended driver), you
should use the default "radeon" driver, or "ati" which will load "radeon"
when it detects a Radeon.
Fedora 11 has no 3D support for Radeon HD models, only up to the X1xxx
models. If you have a HD 2xxx, 3xxx or 4xxx, upgrade to Fedora 12 and
install mesa-dri-drivers-experimental. If you have a HD 5xxx, you probably
need to wait for Fedora 13 or 14, there is currently no 3D support for those
in Fedora 11, 12 nor Rawhide.
