Further testing revealed that my ATI1300Pro had issues with the on board Nvidia graphics chipset and was unable to make the driver work
with it, removing the card and then installing the Nvidia graphics
with sidux.com's graphics card installion script as sgfxi -c provided the solution to my graphic card driver problem.
One must boldly ask why should anyone buy into ATI graphics cards while they obvisously have so many problems.

Ok, this is ridiculous
None of you seem to know what the xorg.conf options do, or even if they are actually options.
First of all, I'm just showing this to point out that the extension AIGLX doesn't exist, it falls under the ServerLayout section. As you can see, apparently AIGLX is disabled but beryl still works.
This is because AIGLX is not an extension you plug into the Extensions section. Also, AIGLX has absolutely no effect when Composite is off, so adding lines to disable it is just wasting space on your drive. If you want to see a list of available extensions, run xdpyinfo in a terminal and scroll up till you see the long list.
RENDER is on by default and it is with all caps as shown when you run xdpyinfo. Disabling RENDER has to be utterly stupid as it handles font anti aliasing and the mouse cursor. Disabling in most cases leaves your desktop looking mad ugly.
DAMAGE is apparently also on and Composite is off by default, so what does this leave us? Your "optimized" xorg.conf would include this
Code:Section "Extensions" EndSection
Oh and regarding boolean options like Composite, this is all the same for true.
Code:Option "Composite" Option "Composite" "1" Option "Composite" "on" Option "Composite" "true" Option "Composite" "enable"
However, you can try using the option "UseFastTLS" "1" (its an integer not boolean) in the device section, but I did not notice any fps difference.
