Is this a fresh installation?
yes
, GNOME/KDE/XFCE which Desktop environment are you running?

Depending on your hardware and Fedora version, there
are several things
that you can tell us so that someone can try to help
you here.

ATI/Radeon cards are kind of problematic. Guess you were bitten in some way as I have :(, as I have an integrated ATI card:
01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RS690 [Radeon X1200 Series]
while I can at least run it, before my machine was freezing for no apparent reason. Do you have any proprietary drivers installed?
Also do you have an xorg.conf file in /etc/X11/xorg.conf?

Antonio
