I have no personal experience with ATI hardware, but I would say almost
certainly yes. The vesa driver doesn't (as far as I know) have any 3D
capabilities.
You should probably consider installing the ATI fglrx if you want decent
performance with ATI hardware (yes, I know its closed source ... Make you own
decision. For me, with nvidia, I *have* to install the nvidia driver since
the OSS nv driver has zero 3D performance, and I need 3D performance for work
reasons.)

I'm googling fglrx now. I have no problem with installing proprietary
software: if somebody developed it and licensed it for legal usage,
then why not? Of course I would also prefer to use and to promote open
source code, but I'll not cripple my system in the absence of such
code.

As per the instructions at http://www.fedorafaq.org/ I drop to
runlevel 3 after installing kmod-fglrx via yum. I try to run
ati-fglrx-config-display, but it is not installed! Other than
installing from the tarball, is there any way to properly configure
fglrx?
