I guess the simplest way to find out is to look at 'man 4 radeon' on
your system. It should be the version corresponding version for your
driver. At the start of the man page you'll see all the supported
systems. I believe your chipset, if supported, should be listed
something as below.

JUNIPER    Radeon HD 5750/5770

However note that this doesn't mean you will have full 3D support.
This only guarantees 2D rendering.

Its my hunch the F15 radeon version (package: xorg-x11-drv-ati) is
still too old to support your chipset. If that proves to be the case,
installing the proprietary drivers from RPMFusion is your only
recourse.
