I went from using fglrx in F9 to using radeon in F11. Most stuff works (except for googleearth, which was problematic anyways with ATI, seems googleearth is the perfect answer to the question: "How can I hang my ATI xorg session hard so that the mouse and keyboard don't respond anymore?)

It has all the gory details on Xorg's decision making and should point to towards what failed and what's not working and what Xorg decided to do about it.... Read it carefully. The errors prety much stand out (or at least they do to someone who's been reading them for > 10 years now...).
