I'm assuming by "Fedora Development" you mean "rawhide" which, as you're no doubt aware, is well known to occasionally eat babies. I tested it on my x86-64 Fedora Core 5 system with (blech) binary NVidia drivers and it worked flawlessly. It did have the creeping display problem, but I'm not sure that it's not intended as a feature (although it is annoying)...

At least it doesn't require to be root to install it ;-)

Yes, I mean Rawhide, though the Fedora folks have been fairly insistent lately that Rawhide no longer exists, and that it's called "Development."

It's tiring to answer the FAQ on what "rawhide" is and calling it the "development" version instead has helped in that aspect. We still refer to it as rawhide in many places including bugzilla though. Old habits die hard.
