[F18][ATI Rage XL] Problems with install on ATI Rage XP video driver

[Aaron Gray]

AFAICT it does not seem to be a missing RPM level problem

There is just an ATI driver 'xorg-x11-drv-ati.i686' which is available on
F16, F17, and F18.

It is being loaded on F18 on the HP DL140 G3 with ATI Rage XL video
controller. So presumably it is either a problem with the probing being
broken, or the Rage XL driver being removed or broken.
