How to enable compositing support in KDE4.2?

configure desktop (Desktop - System Settings) → Desktop
Message indicates:
Compositing is not supported on your system.
Required X extensions (XComposite and XDamage) are not available.

I can’t find XComposite or XDamage as a package to install with
Software Management.

Enabled repositories include:
‘Index of /repositories/X11:/Compiz/openSUSE_11.1’
(http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/X11:/Compiz/openSUSE_11.1/)
‘Index of /repositories/KDE:/KDE4:/Factory:/Desktop/openSUSE_11.1’

Thank you in advance for your help.

restart the X server by logging out and logging in again

Code:

Section “Extensions”
Option “Composite” “Enable”
EndSection

Sorry. I don’t know how the frowning icon got there. Here’s a few
