I run Compiz on my T16 (15" widescreen @ 1280x800, Intel 965GM).  My
xorg.conf has nothing special, the only custom bit is

  Virtual 2560 1824

in the Screen section.  FWIW I use XAA (which is the default
AccelMethod), because EXA makes my X server crash on login.  This is all
on Ubuntu Gutsy.

To avoid Ubuntu's compiz blacklist I had to=20

  echo SKIP_CHECKS=3Dyes > ~/.config/compiz/compiz-manager=20

If compiz doesn't work for you, it might be a good idea to run
'compiz --replace' from a terminal and see what error messages it
prints.  Or check /var/log/Xorg.0.log for suspicious errors.  One of
the possible reasons for compiz failure is a too-large Virtual setting
that leaves not enough video memory for DRI.
