I'm not sure if they work but I think a wildcard would be too broad in 
most cases anyway (could pull in -debuginfo packages, etc. too) but this 
should help in your case:

https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/package/xorg-x11-drivers/

"The purpose of this package is to require all of the individual X.Org 
driver rpms, to allow the OS installation software to install all 
drivers all at once, without having to track which individual drivers 
are present on each architecture. By installing this package, it forces 
all of the individual driver packages to be installed."
