In order to use nvidia video card set 
Driver "nv"
in xorg.conf (no glx support) or `cd /usr/posts/x11/nvidia-driver; make install clean` and use
Driver "nvidia"
in xorg.conf with glx support. I have done it and now using nvidia8400gs with latest nvidia-driver - kde4.2.1 with compositing enabled (all effects used) very fast.
