The mesa-dri-drivers-experimental package is only needed for 3D (OpenGL)
support, not for general usage.

What happens without the mesa-dri-drivers-experimental package?

Please file a bug at bugzilla.redhat.com with the information mentioned
in the wiki:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_debug_Xorg_problems#All_bug_reports
We need _at least_ dmesg with the boot parameter drm.debug=15 and
your Xorg.0.log in separate text/plain attachments to the bug.

Please also try booting with the nomodeset parameter.

François
