AMD64, NVIDIA & composite

[Drew Toto]

I have the same issue with my keyboard repeat rate, it just started
after new version of xorg.  I'm very interested in a fix for this.

My performance was very significantly improved also after enabling
RenderAccel in the Device section (also have an NVidia)

One other thing that has really been bothering me about this new
version of xorg is that I can no longer raise/lower windows.  My WM is
fluxbox, and usually (w/ xorg 6.7.x) i could just click to raise
windows.  With the composite extension, clicking does nothing.  Is
there another setting I'm missing for this, or this this just the way
its gonna be for a while until WMs natively support the new features??

Any feedback would help, I'm very Linux Desktop user and am most
likely overlooking something obvious.

Thanks

Drew
