Try to drop into /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ a file, say broken.conf, with
something like that in it:

Section "Device"
        Identifier "Videocard0"
        Driver "radeon"
        Option "IgnoreEDID" "on"
EndSection

No idea if this will really help any but you can check. It gave me a running X right after an F14 upgrade, when X was refusing to start otherwise, although apparently after updates this was no longer required.

As a matter of fact I attempted to play also with an option "CustomEDID" to see if this will not stem a flow but that did not help. Not that surprising as a garbage is spewed by a kernel module and these options apply on an X level.
