FC3T2 and XComposite

[Bikehead]

I have the same problem with NVIDIA 6111 driver and a GForce4 440  Go on 
a Dell Latittude 8400. Same symptoms: green border around windows and 
great instability.  It seems to be directly realted to the Compsite 
extension since the minute I turn this off, the green border disappears 
and the instability disappears-even with RenderAccel on.  I wonder if it 
a problem with the GForce Go chips?

I understand that this isn't a Fedora or Xorg problem.  Just wanted to 
let others know my experience with trying the composite extensions.
