Hello,
I am not sure if this should be posted here or in X11. I have a fresh install of 8.0-RELEASE-p2 and have built everything from ports. I am using kde4 (4.3.5) and the nvidia driver 195.36.15. When I attempt to turn-on compositing in the Desktop Effects - System Settings, the Compositing always says temporarily disabled. Hitting Resume Compositing results in an error that it has been suspended by another application.
I am running TwinView. I do load the nvidia driver in /boot/loader.conf. I also appear to have glx support with the driver. The video card is a GeForce GTX 285. All of this worked fine when I had PC-BSD installed for a couple of days, so I know that it should be able to work on this workstation. I do not get an nvidia splash screen. Also, just checking that on freebsd loging out and logging back in does restart X.
Thanks for any suggestions.

My xorg.conf file is here. I will try to submit the Xorg.log file in another posting, it is too large to post now.
