Maybe, but I think for F14 experimental was just for Nouveau. In F15 that
subpackage doesn't exist.

I am not sure. It's not just support but also level of support. Some of the
newer cards have kms and not much else in the latest kernel. I am not sure
how much support the rv8xx stuff has right now and back in 2.6.35. I think
that group of chips was called evergreen and you could search for that.
Fedora also may have backported support for those cards. It could also
be a quirkiness of your particular model of card or a driver bug that affects
your card. (For example on my old rv280, I need to disable AGP to get it
to work reliably. I didn't used to have to do that but some bug got introduced
around 2.6.37 that gave me grief.)
