FWIW, I have just
Option "Composite"
(without "Enable"), but IIRC that shouldn't make a difference.
As you don't have the
(**) Extension "Composite" is enabled
line, it appears like the config file parser doesn't even see the
option... Another possibility would be that it gets disabled on the
command line, can you check that with ps? That probably should be
indicated in the log file as well though...

No, as Brice said, that line doesn't mean an extension actually gets
enabled.
