I installed the nvidia driver and all works good so far. Nvidia-settings says direct rendering is enabled and glxgears works. The only problem is Dock says I need to enable compositing.
I tried adding a Extensions section in my xorg.conf with composite enabled but didn't do anything.

Which WM or DE are you using? For standalone WMs like Openbox, you can use xcompmgr or cairo-compmgr to get compositing.
