I'm not Kurt, but I'll take a stab at this.  AIGLX is *part* of Xorg-7.1. 
So if you're running FC6, and you'r running XFCE, then you're already 
doing it.  Now if you are referring to using a compositing manager and/or 
window manager that can do compositing, that is a separate issue 
altogether.  The XFCE build that ships with FC6 comes with a fully 
functional compositing manager.  There are a few unofficial howto's out 
there on how to use beryl or compiz instead of XFCE's window manager 
(xfwm).
