FC6 doesn't recognize ATI X1300 graphics card

After doing a clean install of FC6 (i386) on a notebook containing an ATI 
X1300 graphics card, the machine cannot successfully start X.  After poking 
around, I noticed that the installer-generated xorg.conf file is missing 
some key sections (monitor, graphics device info), and more disturbingly 
that the anaconda log file contains a line about the ATI X1300 being an 
unrecognized device!  The device is listed correctly by lspci, but rerunning 
system-config-display doesn't help.

Has anyone gotten an X1300 to work with Fedora?  Note that I'm not 
interested in using the ATI-supplied driver (yet), I just want to get the 
device working using the vanilla radeon/ati driver that comes with the OS.

FYI, a bug reported has already been created (though it is for RHEL) at
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=212654

Thanks for any help.
