compositing and no xorg.conf

Two questions:

1) How do I check if compositing is enabled?

2) Is there a way to turn on compositing without using xorg.conf?

Thanks.

Edit: Hmm, I answered my first question with:

> xdpyinfo | grep Composite
    Composite

Re: compositing and no xorg.conf

Compositing is enabled by default in xorg-server >= 1.5 for most (all?) drivers.  Check /var/log/Xorg.0.log or run xdpyinfo to make sure it's enabled.

Re: compositing and no xorg.conf

OK, thanks. I guess X extensions can only be turned on when the server is started.
