If it was a driver issue booting to a kernel from before the problem started should have worked, but it didn't.. But then I tried an old F15 Live USB (kernel 2.6.38), and it works! So my hardware is actually okay. :) It seems to me some bad settings are being cached somewhere; which would also explain why booting to an older kernel also fails.
