KDEmod 4.1 composite effects

I just recently installed a new arch with kdemod 4.1 and when I enable the desktop effects from the system settings they don't actually turn on. I'm running the latest nvidia beta drivers from AUR but I also tried it with the older ones that are just in the standard repos.

Section "Module"
    Load           "ddc"  # ddc probing of monitor
    Load           "dbe"
    Load           "extmod"
    Load           "glx"
    Load           "bitmap" # bitmap-fonts
    Load           "freetype"
    Load           "record"

Thats a section from my xorg.conf, I took dri out like the wiki said. Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?
Thanks

Re: KDEmod 4.1 composite effects

yep, I already followed thos instructions, but no luck. I'm using a nvidia 8800gt

[EDIT] I forgot to mention that if I change the compositing type from opengl to Xrender, it works, but its far to slow.
