Then you need a driver built from the experimental branch, but the pci 
id of your board is probably unknown yet, so you'll have to look at the 
xorg log to get it and send it to the list. I'll then add it and you'll 
be good to go after a svn update and a rebuild.

I'll probably build the Fedora Core RPMS from the experimental branch 
sooner or later and I'll fix the auto-configuration at this moment. 
You'll have to modify the driver used in your xorg.conf by hand for the 
time being.
