Couple of comments, Fedora 18 is pretty old now, you may want to try a
more recent version of Fedora (current is Fedora 24 whereas Fedora 25
is in beta).

And, more importantly, why not using the Xorg server and drivers that
come with Fedora itself rather than building your own from sources?

The Fedora rpm packages manage all the dependencies and have been
built and tested to work well together with the drivers, you should
not need to rebuild your own Xorg from sources.

And if you really need to rebuild from sources, in this case best is
to re-use/tweak the existing source rpm to fit your needs.

Also, when reporting issues such as this one, it's always a good idea
to include the Xorg log files that would tell you more about what's
wrong.

HTH,
Cheers,
