Yes, I would when using im 4.2.9.

it's about letting typo3 know wether you have gd2 or the old gd library
and not if you should enable gd2 or not..
Most probably you have gd version 2.x as it's normally bundled with PHP
- I don't know - 4.3 something?

In short - it's different depending on IM version.. ..or as the install
tool hints; "Latest ImageMagick versions has changed the name of combine
to composite. Configure here if needed."
