What graphics card? Compiz runs fine on my ATI RV350 with the free
radeon driver (well, what else?) and these patches:

You _need_ these for AIGLX compositing and a discrete graphics card
(e.g. it's own memory). You will want to throw your nice shiny Powerbook
across the room if you don't have them and you try to run Compiz or
Beryl. Trust me.

If your query is related to the appletouch driver; recent kernels have a
quirk to prevent usbhid from claiming the touchpad...the touchpad works
without any manual hackery.
