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.

Hi,
I use an atiX700 with this configuration:
Section "Device"
# your alias Identifier "atiradeon" Driver "radeon" Option "AccelMethod" "EXA" # XAA/EXA Option "AccelDFS" "1" Option "MonitorLayout" "LVDS,AUTO" Option "GARTSize" "64" Option "EnablePageFlip" "1" Option "ColorTiling" "1" Option "XAANoOffscreenPixmaps" BusID "PCI:1:0:0" EndSection
