ATI radeon xpress 200 + Desktop Effects

I'm trying to get my ATI radeon xpress 200 to work with Desktop Effects, but everytime I try to enable Desktop Effects, I get the message that Desktop Effects could not be enabled.

Here is my Xorg.conf file, I tried to install the drivers using the livna repository.

I'm using ATI Radeon Xpress 200M and I just got desktop effects and DRI working last night when I finally decided to give it a try. Before I was just using the default Radeon driver in FC6 and desktop effects never did work.

Here are the threads I used:

http://forum.fedoraforum.org/forum/s...d.php?t=127305

I opted for Livna fglrx and XGL.

Here is my /etc/X11/xorg.conf file:

Code:
# Xorg configuration created by system-config-display

Section "ServerLayout"
        Identifier     "single head configuration"
        Screen      0  "Screen0" 0 0
        InputDevice    "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
        InputDevice    "Synaptics" "CorePointer"
EndSection

Section "Module"
        Load  "i2c"
        Load  "bitmap"
        Load  "ddc"
        Load  "dri"
        Load  "extmod"
        Load  "freetype"
        Load  "glx"
        Load  "int10"
        Load  "vbe"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "Keyboard0"
        Driver      "kbd"
        Option      "XkbModel" "pc105"
        Option      "XkbLayout" "us"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "Synaptics"
        Driver      "synaptics"
        Option      "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
        Option      "Protocol" "auto-dev"
        Option      "Emulate3Buttons" "yes"
EndSection

Section "Device"
        Identifier  "Videocard0"
        Driver      "fglrx"
        Option      "VideoOverlay" "on"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
        Identifier "Screen0"
        Device     "Videocard0"
        DefaultDepth     24
        SubSection "Display"
                Viewport   0 0
                Depth     24
        EndSubSection
EndSection

Section "DRI"
        Mode         0666
EndSection

        Option      "Composite" "Disable"
EndSection
