thats something only nvidia can answer, the driver is closed source and
does not support the composite extension, which is the needed part on
Xog's side for compiz to work ... due to the source code not being
publically available nobody but nvidia could fix that ... but they dont
(if it was public i bet you would see a patch to fix it within less than
a day)
