Fedora is an excellent distribution, and should work great with OpenGL. The "Radeon 200" you are referring to, are you talking about the R200 series or the "Xpress 200"? The R200 has excellent open-source drivers (or you can use the 8.28 drivers), but the Xpress 200 is notorious for its driver support.

The Xpress 200M is unfortunately very notorious for its support by fglrx (and I think under Windows Catalyst as well). I think basically all I can say is good luck.
