Well it is by now no secret I am sure that Fedora 12 has support for ATI cards now via the catalyst driver. It seems the Catalyst 10.4 driver added support for the Xorg in Fedora 12!
As mentioned earlier it would appear they are basing their added support for a new X with each Ubuntu that uses the new version. Of course Fedora 13 will most likely break this support again due to the nature of Fedora and their policy to use the latest and greatest packages.
As much as the ATI issue effects me and as much as it bothers me i still think it will be a long time before I can upgrade to an Nvidia card due to finacial restrictionsl. Saddly this oversight on my part at the build of the computer may haunt me for several months to come till I can afford to get a decent Nvidia card.

Hi…
I too made the same oversight last year when purchasing a new mother board, as I wanted all the bells & whistles to be “on-board” for what I was wanting only had an ATI graphics chip. But I suppose its a case of live and learn!
Hmm… That being the “you can install our proprietary drivers using VESA” NVidia?!? Why not run Windows while you are at it?
