You are welcome :)

What you could do... is to search bugzilla.redhat.com for any similar bug
(on the exact same hardware as yours).
If you can't find any similar looking bug, please:
* boot with the drm.debug=15 parameter
* open a new bug report at bugzilla.redhat.com
* describe the problem (screenshots may help)
* attach the following two files: /var/log/dmesg and /var/log/Xorg.0.log
This would ensure that the problem is tracked.

Cheers
