Yep, I can confirm this. I have two machines with the ATI 200M video hardware (one HP notebook, one Compaq desktop). FC4 did indeed work with the VESA driver, and FC5 had full support, including X-Video extensions to "improve MPEG performance". X-Video support can be added to FC4 by using the ATI binary-only driver, from either the ATI website, or the Livna repository.
