You might want to take note that a few weeks ago, nVidia released a beta 
version of their driver, 9625, which supports TFP to enable AIGLX to work:

and they have a sticky post on the nvnews forums regarding configuration:

There have been mixed results and a fair number of bug reports, but many 
are using compiz/beryl on nVidia cards under AIGLX.
