Alex's response did help me to get MergedFB DRI mode working.

I do have the radeon 9000. I am not sure, but isn't it the R250? I am 
almost certain there is support for R300 out of the box in FC5. The 
radeon man page lists
RS300       Radeon 9100 IGP
RS350       Radeon 9200 IGP
as being supported. FC5 installs by default using the open source 
drivers. It's the Fedora philosophy to use only open source software, so 
consider that before jumping on board.

For reference, here's the xorg.conf (T41, FC5, MergedFB, DRI, dual head 
1400x1050-1280x1024, radeon 9000):
