With KMS - display is completely corrupted and unusable. Not sure if this needs to get split into two bugs or not, but it's a much bigger deal as the machine is unusable now. 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon Mobility M6 LY [1002:4c59]
Can you retest with latest F12 bits at all? from koji if possible specifically a kernel > 2.6.31.6-140 and -ati 6.13.0-0.12 or above.

However, rendering is terribly slow - windows move in big chunks and visibly redraw. With nomodeset, still the same error: (EE) RADEON(0): Memory manager initialization to (0,0) (2624,1598) failed

Display works okay if VGA output is limited to 1024x768, going larger makes for longer and longer window re-draws and more display corruption. I know 16MB is not much, but this did use to be usable on previous versions of Fedora.
I'm going to open a separate bug for performance issues.
