Configuring

The compositor extensions are included in the X.org X Server. To enable compositing, edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf, adding the following. You will have to restart the X Server for this change to take effect.

Section "Extensions"
      Option "Composite" "Enable"
EndSection
                                                                                     

If you are using the nVidia closed-cource driver, you may add the following to the "Device" section in /etc/X11/xorg.conf to enable the XRender in hardware.

Option      "RenderAccel" "true"
