FC6 Xorg startup failure on Dell PE750 server

I'm installing FC6 on a Dell PowerEdge 750, which has
an onboard ATI Rage XL video chipset.
The install, in graphics mode, went smoothly, but on
booting X won't start because of "No Devices Detected"
(but we know it's there because Anaconda ran in X mode).
Comparing the /etc/X11/xorg.conf to a working system
(not a PE750) I notice that there's quite a lot of stuff
missing from the PE750 config, most notably a "Monitor"
section. As I recall, during the install it didn't go
through the usual screens where it probes the video
hardware.
I tried to find pyxf86config to rerun the configuration.
I managed to find a xf86config.py, but running it (as root)
appears to do nothing. What's the recommended way to
rerun the video/monitor probe and configuration after
installation (is this more a Fedora question?)
