Question compiz problems


Ive been tryiing to get compiz working under Debian testing.I have latest ATI drivers installed and fglrx info shows ..
display: :0.0 screen: 0
OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: RADEON 9800 Pro
OpenGL version string: 2.0.6334 (8.34.8)

I downloaded latest source of Compix and compiz extras and compiled them and the compiled and installed fine..But when i run glxinfo | grep texture_from_pixmap i get..

strat@debian:~$ glxinfo | grep texture_from_pixmap
GLX_EXT_import_context, GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap, GLX_OML_swap_method,

When I run compiz all i get is..
compiz: No composite extension

Not sure where to go from here..is there something I have to add to my Xorg.conf to enable the extension??When i run compiz --version it shows its installed...strat@debian:~$ compiz --version
compiz 0.3.6
