I have now: It lists RV620/RV635 Radeon HD 3450/3470, but no 3650.

xorg-x11-drv-ati.i686 : Xorg X11 ati video driver
yum provides xorg-x11-drv-ati.i686 produced
Warning: 3.0.x versions of yum would erroneously match against
filenames.
You can use "*/xorg-x11-drv-ati.i686" and/or
"*bin/xorg-x11-drv-ati.i686" to get that behaviour
No Matches found
which makes no sense to me.
