The AMD fglrx display drivers do not support the desktop-effects found in Fedora Core 6. You need to wait for the developers to add AIGLX / texture_from_pixmap support. The only alternative would be to use the open-source Radeon drivers, which should work on your Xpress 200M but there are a few bugs with memory initialization and your GPU.
