Go to x11-drivers/xf86-video-via. Look into the ebuilds. It actually 
is openchrome. At least I think it is.

Uh-huh! Without actually using composite in KDE, it is working here as 
well. 

Anyway, I tried 0.2.901. No joy. I have had it for today. Have 
rebooted so often, I feel like using the other OS. ;-) Tomorrow I'll 
be too busy (have got the holy duty to feed myself).

I will probably give it another try coming weekend. Unmerge the whole 
of KDE 4.0.2 and re-emerge it again. Maybe, I missed one small bit 
when recompiling stuff, though I can't think of with one. Recompiled 
everything in KDE that has the USE flag xcomposite plus kdelibs, 
although they don't don't listen to xcomposite.

If I'll succeed somehow I'll report back here. If not, well, I'll give 
up on the whole thing, stay without the effects in KDE and wait for 
the Easter Bunny to provide me with a decent video card. ;-)
