There should be support for it as part of the i810 driver in FC6.
There was a thread a while back listing the RPMs you need from the
development tree to use it under FC5. At the time, the RPMs were:

xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.0.99.901-6
xorg-x11-drv-i810-1.6.0-1
mesa-libGL-6.5-4
mesa-libGL-devel-6.5-4

The numbers have changed, but the names are the same. (Thank Andy
Green for the original information.)
