Well, as far as I know adding the following to your xorg.conf should be enough: Section "Extensions" Option "Composite" "enable" EndSection and then to enable it at runtime start a composite manager. Reading the mga manpage it seems you need to add Option "AccelMethod" "EXA" to the driver section. (Though it says EXA is possibly unstable.) Run "xdpyinfo | grep Composite" to see if it works or not. But as you said, getting off-topic, so if the above doesn't work sent a private mail, or go to the xorg mailinglist.
