Nvidia's 9625 drivers are not using AIGLX. They have their own
implementation of indirect rendering and GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap.
I've been testing the new nvidia drivers with compiz for a while and
they work OK, some drawing and performance issues but in general they
work as they should with current version of compiz.

You probably want to add these options to your xorg.conf:

Option "DisableGLXRootClipping" "True"
Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "True"
Option "AllowGLXWithComposite" "True"

and make sure you have enabled the composite extension:

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