xcompmgr problems (Openbox, Firefox)

I'm trying to get xcompmgr to work.  I've never been able to do compositing because I have an ATI card that crashes every second, but it SORT OF works so I want to experiment.

In KDE, I can start xcompmgr and use the transset utility to make windows transparent.  That works okay but Firefox scrolling goes REALLY slow.  It doens't matter if I've even set any transparency; Firefox scrolls slow.  KDE apps don't do this (Konqueror, for example) and other GTK apps are fine as well.


In Openbox, I can't get xcompmgr to run at all.  When I try to launch it, I get this message

error 191 request 159 minor 8 serial 8658

It just repeats over and over and over until I close xterm (and then xcompmgr has exited as well).  Here is my xorg.conf file... any idea about these two problems?  I'm using an ATI Radeon 9500 Pro and fglrx, btw.
