You shouldn't really need any special xorg.conf settings.

Please provide the full Xorg.0.log file and the output of
LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=1 glxinfo
Does compiz work? What about other 3D applications?
I worked upstream to get OpenGL compositing working on this PowerBook
more than two years ago, I've been using compiz ever since and also try
KDE every now and then to check that it's still working there as well.

The option has no effect with current versions of the radeon driver. Not
100% sure about the version in lenny but I suspect it's the case there.

Two-finger scrolling works (and so may two- and three-finger taps) with
current versions of xserver-xorg-input-synaptics, but again I'm not sure
about the version in lenny.
