You should check whether the LO's option - "Graphic output/Use HW
acceleration" has any effect in this particular case.
I assume you know, proprietary SW ain't supported on Fedora.
Besides the kernel module is only the part of the story, so it's
recommended to upgrade to the latest Fedora version.
Meanwhile you can test whether the problem is related only to the
particular kernel video module.

You can try the following:

- Backup the Xorg configs:
# mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf-backup
# mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d-backup

- Download & install rawhide kernel - test w/ radeon(.ko)
  http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/rawhide-kernel-nodebug/x86_64/
# rpm -ivh kernel-3.12.0-0.rc2.git3.2.fc21.x86_64.rpm

- Reboot to rawhide kernel

- Check the LO start up

- Reboot to previous kernel

- Restore the Xorg configs:
# mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf-backup /etc/X11/xorg.conf
# mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d-backup/ /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d

What are the results regarding the LO start up?

If none of this helps what I most recommend, try to contact the
radeon devs and help them iron the bugs.
This is the only true way.
Good luck.
