Composite extension not available

I'm posting this just in case I forget what I did to make my 3D effects work in Ubuntu 7.10 and Linux Mint with ATI Radeon Express 200M as my video card.

1. Make sure that the 3rd party driver for the video card is being used.
2. Go to /etc/X11 folder and run sudo gedit xorg.conf in the terminal
3. Make sure to change composit to enable from 0 as shown below:

Section "Extensions"
Option "Composite" "enabled"
EndSection

from

Section "Extensions"
Option "Composite" "0"
EndSection

4. Go to synaptic package manager and search for and install it
5. Also in synaptic package manager search and install compiz setting manager
6. Restart the computer
7. Lastly choose custom to enable the 3D effects under Appearance Preferences > Visual Effects
