The 'ati' driver is a bit odd; it's just a wrapper for the real drivers. 
Viz the manpage:

DESCRIPTION
        ati  is  an  Xorg  wrapper  driver for ATI video cards.  It 
autodetects whether your hardware has a Radeon, Rage  128,  or  Mach64 
or  earlier class of chipset, and loads the radeon(4), r128(4), or 
mach64 driver as appropriate.

Though, looking at that description, I do see that 'radeon', 'r128' and 
'mach64' all appear to be present in the F19 repos. 'mach64' may not be 
installed by default, though - can you check if you have the 
'xorg-x11-drv-mach64' package installed? If not, try installing it.
