ATI All-In-Wonder Radeon 9800 Pro can't graphically install

Now that I've finally got around to upgrading to Fedora Core 1 (had 0.95 
before) I've run into the same installation problem I had before, the 
installer does not support the ATI All-In-Wonder 9800 Pro.  As I posted 
last time, the RedHat 9 installer works fine with the card but the 
Fedora Installer doesn't.  The installer totally locks up and requires a 
hard reset and a text installation must be performed, then the new 
drivers must be downloaded from ATI's website (at least they did the 
first time, they didn't this time but I'm assuming the upgrade didn't 
touch my video driver).  I've included my lspci report in the hopes that 
someone will be able to fix this so that this doesn't happen to other 
people (installing the driver from the prompt is a pain).
