Looks like your /etc/X11/xorg.conf isn't setup with the composite extension.
You can try to run the following as root :
/usr/bin/nvidia-xconfig --mode=nvidia-auto-select
--allow-glx-with-composite --render-accel --add-argb-glx-visuals --composite
This will had the proper configuration to run compiz in your xorg.conf
Then login and back in and try running compiz again.

Hmm, this might be due to a faulty nvidia driver (note build 64 is
fairly old now). You can try to download and install the latest nvidia
driver here :
http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html
And try again.

If you installed 0.5.2 any previous version of my packages should have
been uninstalled.
