Display problems with FC6 ?

Hi;

Tried to follow the problems with, Compiz, AGLX, FGLRX drivers on the
list but none seem applicable to my problem.

My display has ground almost to a halt.  Screen redrawing is painfully
slow.  Various application gui are missplacing themselves on the screen
even after repositioning them after installing a higher resolution and
bunch of other small config things are going wrong.  Saving sessions
isn't working.

'Desktop Effects' cannot be enabled.

I am using a wallpaper (*.jpg) on my desktop.  I have an ATI rage 128
SM/4x AGP/4x Expert 2000.  My # Xorg configuration created by
system-config-display says:

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

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

Section "Device"
	Identifier  "Videocard0"
	Driver      "r128"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
	Identifier "Screen0"
	Device     "Videocard0"
	DefaultDepth     24
	SubSection "Display"
		Viewport   0 0
		Depth     24
		Modes    "1600x1200" "1600x1200" "1600x1024" "1600x1024" "1440x900"
"1440x900" "1400x1050" "1400x1050" "1280x1024" "1280x1024" "1280x960"
"1280x960" "1280x800" "1280x800" "1152x864" "1152x864" "1152x768"
"1152x768" "1024x768" "1024x768" "800x600" "800x600" "640x480" "640x480"
	EndSubSection
EndSection

FC6 installed the display at 1600x1200 resolution when it was previously
running 1280x1024 in FC5.  (I prefer the 1600x1200 now that I've gotten
used to it.)  I have a Compaq V90 monitor, installed as a generic CRT.

I seem to be missing DRI and compiz components, but I am not sure.

Could someone suggest a fix?  Is my graphics card too old?  Are all my
small display problems related to my graphics or are they (or most of
them) simply new bugs in applications?
