Well then, it is a completely different issue. I assumed you were using kwin,
since it is the default for KDE.

I am used to starting compiz using the fusion-icon, which usually Just Works
(I believe it automatically sets up all compiz command line switches
appropriately for your particular video hardware). I never needed to configure
xorg.conf manually (assuming I already had a 3D accelerated driver), so I
cannot help you much if it doesn't work for you. AFAIK, there are good setup
instructions on the compiz-fusion web site.
Also, if you want best compiz-fusion experience, I can also recommend emerald
window decorator. Both work quite well under KDE.
Best, :-)
