The bug I'm assuming you're referring to is
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=519298
in which you merely remove the nouveau userspace component, and in which I can't tell if you built nouveau into the kernel or not, but I assume you didn't based on your previous post. The X server does only try the one driver before falling back to vesa, which is a bug in the fallback logic I suppose. I've (blindly) fixed that for F13 now.
However, the log in that bug only shows you using the built-in autoconfig logic, and not an xorg.conf file. So, given you were talking about a kernel without nouveau, I am left to assume one of:
- you didn't try writing an xorg.conf fragment - you did, and it didn't work anyway
The latter case is entirely plausible, as nv is not the sort of driver that gets a lot of love, but I'm not aware of any open bugs about gf9800 in particular in nv.
