KDE4 Composite Not Working

[onlineapps]

Hi,
I installed the libxcomposite1 and libxdamage1 packages on my Gutsy system. Yet when I try to enable Desktop Effects under System Settings > Desktop > Desktop Effects, it says "Compositing is not supported on your system. Required X extensions (XComposite and XDamage) are not available." Do I need to start some fancy Xserver or something?

Alter (or add) the following in xorg.conf (if not already done)?

Section "ServerFlags"
    Option   "AIGLX" "on"
EndSection

Section "Extensions"
    Option "Composite" "Enable"
EndSection

Edit: I did the above myself to no avail. I am using the ATI fglrx 8.44.3 driver (which has AIGLX support) and all the correct libraries are installed.
