Are you using a 64bit o/s by any chance?.
I run Q4 myself on my machine,and to run it i have to use the ia32-libs package,which lets me run 32bit applications like Q4.
Can you run any other games that use 3d acceleration?.
Have you tried running glxgears from a console,this should give you an indication if you have acceleration working.
His drivers are definitely installed properly, but you are correct that if he's running a 64 bit distribution, he needs to install the 32 bit drivers to run 32 bit opengl applications such as quake4.
I think we can rule out your graphics drivers,they appear to be working.
It would probably be a good idea asking at LQ's Fedora forum if there are any 32bit libraries you can install.
Or ask how do other Fedora users run Q4 on a 64bit machine.
Sorry i can't help further,it's been a number of years since i used Fedora myself.
Post back if you find the solution,i'd be interested to hear how it's done with Fedora.

My Wine is 32 Bit, I check appdb.whinehq.org and Quake4 1.4.2 is in platium status, I'll give it a try and see if it works... I will check fedora forum, if nothing comes up.. I'll file a bug at redhat.com
And I got a an error, unable to open $HOME/.quake4-demo/q4base/qconsole.log... I checked my home directory and notice that the folder was root root .quake4-demo. So chown the folder to user user, everything seems to work expect this time, I get a different error

Sys_Error: Unable to initialize OpenGL
I was on a RPMFUSION channel on Freenode asking, an unrelated question about another video problem that I was having with OpenGL. I was told to install xorg-x11-drv-catalyst-libs.i586, that fix my initial issue and while at it fix my Quake4 *Unable to initialize OpenGL* issue.
The point is: 32 Bit apps needs 32 Bit openGL compatibility libraries.
Note: The 32 Bit openGL libraries (ATi catalyst Libs) can be installed along side with x86_64 Catalyst driver
