After converting from FC5 to FC6 (clean install, NOT an upgrade), I can

/etc/X11/xorg.conf - includes the following:

	    Identifier  "Videocard0"
	    Driver      "ati"
    EndSection

/var/log/Xorg.0.log -- end with:
    (II) Primary Device is: ISA
    (II) ATI:  Candidate "Device" section "Videocard0".
    (EE) No devices detected

Any advice about what to do next would be appreciated.

This sounds like a bug to me since it is a pci device in hwconfig and if 
I am reading the snippets correctly, it is detected or the information 
is wrong in one or the other.
