AFAICT it does not seem to be a missing RPM level problem
 
There is just an ATI driver 'xorg-x11-drv-ati.i686' which is available on F16, F17, and F18.
 
It is being loaded on F18 on the HP DL140 G3 with ATI Rage XL video controller. So presumably it is either a problem with the probing being broken, or the Rage XL driver being removed or broken.

Okay a bit more info :-

F17 Anaconda is running at the same descent resolution as F16.

On F18 '/var/log/Xorg.0.log' is reporting VESA.

I will try rolling an F19 ISO next just to rule out that its not a
transient bug.

In parallel I will see if I can track down what is causing the problem.

Any pointers are welcome.

I vaugely remember some xorg drivers going away in F18. You might want
to try yum list 'xorg*' on f17 and f18 and see if there are differences.

Yeah, that was the same thing I was remembering when I went poking through the list of driver packages in F18/F19. Sorry for not explicitly mentioning it. But indeed, I believe what's happened here is simply that we dropped the native driver between F17 and F18.
