You might be interested in trying the standard radeon drivers out of
the box in Fedora 12.  I'm using them on a HD4850 and get full support
for compiz there.  It's not as fast in framerates as proprietary
drivers, I bet, but I get somewhere around 2500 fps -- and none of the
other negative side effects that made the Catalyst drivers such a
pain.  YMMV.
