Yes, all of these is installed. I'm sorry in fact because I forgot about this
thread: I actually found what was the problem. ATI cards need an additional
option in xorg.conf in the section "Device":
Option "DRI"
For those who would seek for the same information, I attach my xorg.conf to
this email. As latest xorg now uses evdev instead of kbd, I attach my working
evdev config un hal. I don't know if it's a clean configuration but it's a
working one. By the way, I think there is a bug on xserver-xorg because a
reconfigure modify the xorg.conf for the keyboard although this does nothing.
Only modifications in /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/10-keymap.fdi have
made xorg recognize my keyboard layout and options.

Yep it is. It's an X1600 Mobility chipset. It now perfectly works with
transparency on KDE 4 :)
