Same here. Looks like http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=189424.

In short, try:

Section "Device"
...
Driver "openchrome"
Option "XaaNoImageWriteRect"
EndSection

or

Section "Device"
...
Driver "openchrome"
Option "NoAccel" "true"
EndSection

or

Section "Device"
...
Driver "openchrome"
Option "AccelMethod" "EXA"
Option "ExaNoComposite" "True"
Option "MigrationHeuristic" "greedy"
Option "ExaScratchSize" "8192"
Option "MaxDRIMem" "16384"
EndSection

No time to test it today, I will try it tomorrow.

Someone should add that fix to the wiki.
