# To customise the XKB settings to suit your keyboard, modify the

#
#    Option     "XkbModel"      "pc102"
#    Option     "XkbModel"      "pc105"
#
# If you have a Microsoft Natural keyboard, you can use:
#
#    Option     "XkbModel"      "microsoft"
#
# If you have a US "windows" keyboard you will want:
#
#    Option     "XkbModel"      "pc104"
#
# Then to change the language, change the Layout setting.
# For example, a german layout can be obtained with:

First of all, what's the actual problem? You posted that you had a problem, machine specs, and your xorg.conf.
That doesn't exactly tell us anything.

Second, I'm not sure if the nvidia driver provides GLX support for TNT2, I thought that's only for Geforce 256 and above from my understanding(which could be wrong).

Third, xcompmgr is NOT a good idea on that system, it's way too slow.

salahuddin_66, xcompmgr is a simply program that you can kill if it works bad, so with a X restart (without starting xcompmgr) should start X normally without shadows and/or transparencies.
