Bug Description

From [http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/commit/?id=84a14fab8f930ef1855444ae4e9e3e14ee008328] (and the discussion on [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xinerama] and [http://gentoohaven.com/2010/04/13/xinerama-composite/])I would guess that COMPOSITE and XINERAMA/PANORAMIX no longer conflict.

However, I'm using XINERAMA on oneiric/11.10 on a Radeon HD 5450 (fglrx enabled) and 'xdpyinfo' does _not_ report the COMPOSITE extension. As a consequence desktop effects in KDE do not work and the KDE system settings also report that 'The needed x-extensions (XComposite and XDamage) are not available'.
