raising severity as I am really unable to work on my desktop with F9 rawhide.
is this a laptop or desktop? It appears to think this is a laptop with a flat panel. you could try adding a monitor section for the LVDS to disable it. something like Section "Monitor" Identifier "dummy" Option "Enable" "False" EndSection and in Device section add Option "Monitor-LVDS" "dummy" see if that helps, I can try and get a quirk in for your BIOS maybe. it might be worth trying Option "Ignore" "true" if enable fails.

yes the bios is lying on your card so I want to see if disabling the LVDS it claims it has will help.
I have tried with following xorg file cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf ==> # Xorg configuration created by system-config-display Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "single head configuration" Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0 InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard" EndSection Section "InputDevice" # keyboard added by rhpxl Identifier "Keyboard0" Driver "kbd" Option "XkbModel" "pc105" Option "XkbLayout" "us+inet" EndSection Section "Monitor" Identifier "dummy" Option "Enable" "False" EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "Videocard0" Driver "radeon" Option "Monitor-LVDS" "dummy" EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" Device "Videocard0" Monitor "Monitor0" DefaultDepth 24 SubSection "Display" Viewport 0 0 Depth 24 EndSubSection EndSection I am getting same Big RHGB window and color is distorted with red dots on white colored text. And only 640x480 resolution. When tried with "Ignore" "true" in device section Screen flickered4-5 times and instead to show RHGB drops himself to text level console. When tried to use ctrl+alt+f7 gave nothing but black screen. Did I make correct changes or I misunderstood you?

Changing version to '9' as part of upcoming Fedora 9 GA. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
As I can see this is already fixed in F9, I am closing this bug.
