This will definitely fix your problem.  Xinerama + Composite do not
work together with the nvidia drivers.  nvidia says this is a
limitation in the xserver.  I'm not sure what, if anything, the Xorg
developers say.

Since Composite was being enabled in your xorg.conf file, but not
showing up in xdpyinfo, the fact that you were using xinerama is the
only logical conclusion, though it took me longer to get to that
conclusion than it should have :-)
