Great ! Now I find its too large to fit on a single sided DVD.
 
Will try live desktop instead :-

I am just downloading the https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/stage/19-Alpha-TC4/ alpha to try first before looking any deeper at the actual RPMS code.

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.

The 'ati' driver is a bit odd; it's just a wrapper for the real drivers. Viz the manpage:

DESCRIPTION
       ati  is  an  Xorg  wrapper  driver for ATI video cards.  It autodetects whether your hardware has a Radeon, Rage  128,  or  Mach64 or  earlier class of chipset, and loads the radeon(4), r128(4), or mach64 driver as appropriate.

Though, looking at that description, I do see that 'radeon', 'r128' and 'mach64' all appear to be present in the F19 repos. 'mach64' may not be installed by default, though - can you check if you have the 'xorg-x11-drv-mach64' package installed? If not, try installing it.
