Yes, it is in all likelihood lack of nvidia drivers (they don't work
with rawhide yet).
You will have to use open source nv drivers and disable compiz.
To use open-source nv drivers:
Edit your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file and change line:
Driver "nvidia"
to:
Driver "nv"
Or, if your nvidia driver's packager provided you with some
script use that one to disable nvidia drivers. E.g. if you are
using Livna's nvidia packages, do something like:
/usr/sbin/nvidia-config-display disable
You can also make nvidia drivers work without glx, but search
the mailing list to see how to do it
To disable compiz
Actually, I dunno exactly what you need to do. I think that if
you have that fusion-icon thingy that sits in the system tray,
it should fallback to metacity automatically. Otherwise, make
sure you run something like
metacity --replace
