Trying to summarize: About Composite, upstream just got a commit saying "Enable Composite by default now that it disables itself in the known bad cases." (and it has been said that "fglrx disables the DRI when Composite is enabled.") About XAANoOffScreenPixmap, Michel said: "The option is only needed to work around bugs in XAA. Because basically everything is a pixmap when windows are redirected (i.e. when a compositing manager is running), it effectively disables most 2D acceleration in that case and still a large portion of it without a compositing manager. So this option can't be enabled by default, because it hurts performance i all cases *except* when running a GLX compositing manager." About AddARGBGLXVisuals, there was no actual answer. It seems nVidia specific. Since xorg.conf would have to be edited to enable the nVidia driver, this option could be added at the same time. So I would personally not enable any of these options by default (hence tagging as wontfix). It is already very late in the release cycle, changing the default config now is too dangerous according to all the above. Regarding after Etch, the X server is already much newer in experimental, Composite will be enabled safely by upstream, the XAA problems might be fixed, EXA might work much better, ... no reason to enable any of these options now then.
