Do you mean this?
Option "RenderAccel" "boolean"
Enable or disable hardware acceleration of the RENDER extension. Default:
hardware acceleration of the RENDER extension is enabled.
I don't mess with it, so I guess it's on.
------------------------
I don't know anything about the Composite extension. I found it in "Appendix S. The X Composite Extension."
Should I turn this on?
"You can enable the Composite X extension by running 'nvidia-xconfig
--composite'. Composite can be disabled with 'nvidia-xconfig --no-composite'."
See the nvidia-xconfig(1) man page for details
