fglrx is a proprietry driver and as a matter of policy Fedora does not
provide any direct support for these. There are 3rd party YUM repositories
which may have hacked up versions to work with Xen, but ultimately its up
to ATI to provide it for Xen since they're the only ones who can legally
work on the code.

The open source radeon driver doesn't support the X1300 yet,so only other
options are VESA (no acceleration), or bare metal kernel with KVM instead
(pending Fedora 7) of Xen.

Dan.
