Nvidia and Xcomposite NOT working for me and I will post to bugzilla
later. 

This is on a Dell i8100 with the GeForce 2 GO card and xcompmgr from cvs.

First of all the contortions to get nvidia running:
revert to the 2.6.8-1.541 kernel, modprobe nvidia, and the complaint 
from the nvidia-installer about 'rivafb' contained in kernel (???) with
possible resulting instability due to 2 drivers being loaded. 

Under gnome starting xcompmgr shows almost no effects, independent
ot the xcompmgr setup used. The only consistent 'effect' is a green
border around windows. xcompmgr -n causes a corruption of the the
top blue bar on windows (default gnome theme). 

Whatever the measly effects produced the overal result is constant
freezes and great instability. Opening menus from the redhat icon
consitently produces freezes necessitating a battery removal to
shutdown.
