To get the rawhide versions and any deps that might be associated with 
xorg-x11, you might add the development repository to up2date, yum or 
any other program used to retrieve updates. After getting the xorg-x11 
and associated programs ,you can comment out the development repo.

I'm running xorg-x11-6.8.1.901-1 that I believe was pulled from rawhide 
using up2date via the gui. I am not having problems with this version.

Like anything, it depends on your hardware. Finding out what lspci says 
that you have as hardware might be helpful and might get people with 
similar hardware an idea for a solution.

You might ask this question with hardware information and what is 
working and not working on fedora-list. There is a bigger pool of people 
on the user list and probably a higher chance that someone might know 
how to go through resolving your issues with this problem that you have 
using FC3.
