You mean /etc/syslog.conf to configure the syslogger?

I don't know which Red Hat release you feel to remember, but it was
always /var/log/messages as long as I can think of (Red Hat Linx 5.2).

The syslog daemon logs specific system messages into file
/var/log/messages. The /var/log/dmesg file is not filled by the syslog
daemon. syslog-ng - which is a different syslogger - is not part of
Fedora.

I don't exactly understand what you mean with "see the log messages".
Messages are logged. The get into log files. You can have a look at
these log files with tools like tail, less, more or for the dmesg log
file dmesg.
