Have F17 installed, AMD Catalyst 12.6 Beta driver installed since my video card is ATI Radeon 5820TG (Although I don't know if that has anything to do with it).

We don't support the AMD Catalyst drivers.  You'll need to figure out how to get those working with the 3.4 kernel if the in-tree radeon driver doesn't work.
