On current Fedora Rawhide It seems that GDM starts but then hangs as there is no Xorg and no Xwayland. Is this other people's situation or am I alone in seeing this problem?

AFAICS at least X is broken in rawhide for quite a while. See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1336521 for more. So far no reaction of any kind.

Sorry to hear that... but thats a bit over the top isn't it?
X is broken for you on your hardware. It works fine for me here and I think at several others, so it's not completely broken.
Anyhow, will try and get some X folks to look at that bug... sounds like it might be affecting all ATI folks.

Well, yes. That is why I wrote "AFAICS". It did work just fine for a long time and now it got "improved" and it does not anymore. Presumably this was not the case for the author of this change. Still "works-for-me-and-maybe-few-others" stuff looks to me like "in general - broken".

I have a Dell with NVIDIA, two Lenovo ThinkPads with Intel, and one Lenovo ThinkPad with ATI/Intel switchable, all behave identically. This would seem to indicate it is something affecting all platforms.
I thought GDM came up on Xwayland not Xorg.

It should, yes.

Worked fine for me when I was doing some Rawhide testing last week. Workstation fails to reach GDM due to SELinux issues - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1342732%C2%A0- but I didn't see anything wrong with X.
In current rawhide, there is an SELinux issue which prevents GDM/GNOME to start up:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1339761 .
Boot your system in permissive mode and see what happens. I have an AMD graphics card, too, but this workaround helped indeed.

We had that problem some time ago and it went away, so this is a recurrence of the same problem again?
Is the official route to switch off SELinux on the boot line?

Setting
SELINUX=permissive
in /etc/selinux/config allows GDM to start on my Lenovo X1.
This allows for UI-based use but clearly at the expense of SELinux.

What happens if you enable it after logging in:
