[compiz] No shutdown option in KDE with Compiz-Fusion

[Pierpaolo Follia]

Uhm, I don't know about your video card, but I just installed the
latest ATI proprietary driver and adding these two lines to my
xorg.conf seems good:

Option         "Textured2D" "on"
Option         "TexturedXrender" "on"

The performance under XGL are very poor, but using X they are ok.
Thanks to Karthik Ramgopal for this hint!

Regards,
Pierpaolo
