I'm very sorry. ;( 

So, this is the video adapter that intel subcontraced out the writing
of the driver for, and never open sourced it. ;( 

You have 2 choices: 

1) You can run in 'vesa' mode. It won't be great, but it should work at
least. Boot the installed with 'linux xdriver=vesa' or choose 'basic
video mode' at the boot up prompts from the media. 

2) There's a repackaging of the binary only driver in rpmfusion.
(rpmfusion.org). However, it doesn't exist for f15, so you would be
stuck on an older release. ;( 

Sorry.
