I have the same problem with basically the same xorg.conf and GeForce 6100.

I am running the nvidia drivers, but compiz does not work.

Hey .. I am using Fedora 10 x86_64 .. its working for me correctly ....

i guess you might have already installed compizconfig-settings-manager ,

Just try installing the "fusion-icon" and then try running compiz using fusion icon,

let me know .....

Thanks
Peeths ...

I had the same problem using the nvidia driver. I resolved it by adding the following to my /etc/X11/xorg.conf:

Code:

Section "Files"

        ModulePath  "/usr/lib64/xorg/modules/extensions/nvidia"

        ModulePath  "/usr/lib64/xorg/modules"

EndSection

Or, for 32 bit,

Code:

Section "Files"

        ModulePath  "/usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/nvidia"

        ModulePath  "/usr/lib/xorg/modules"

EndSection

For 32 bit

Quote:

Section "Files"
ModulePath "/usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/nvidia"
ModulePath "/usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers"
ModulePath "/usr/lib/xorg/modules"
EndSection

For 64 bit

Quote:

Section "Files"
ModulePath "/usr/lib64/xorg/modules/extensions/nvidia"
ModulePath "/usr/lib64/xorg/modules/drivers"
ModulePath "/usr/lib64/xorg/modules"
EndSection

Cool beans! Setting ModulePath fixes the glx issue. I can use cairo-dock and glxgears now. but compiz still can't be enabled.
