Do you have the development repositories enabled? There is some breakage in rawhide with modular Xorg replacing the monolithic Xorg packages. XFree86-devel is a virtual dependency; it is currently provided by xorg-x11-devel but is going away as lots of -devel packages for individual libraries replace it. fedora-devel and fedora-testers list are better places to ask about issues with Rawhide. - Ian
