Ok, Here is the deal... I have been trying, and trying... and begging for Beryl to work... I have used three different guides... and an auto install script I found on the beryl project forums... NONE of them seem to be helping me.

I am running the fglrx drivers with an ATI Radeon 9200 SE

The errors I am getting when starting Beryl in a XGL session is this

************************************************** ************
* Beryl system compatiblity check *
************************************************** ************

Detected xserver : XGL

Checking Display localhost:1.0 ...

Checking for XComposite extension : passed (v0.3)
Checking for XDamage extension : passed

beryl: Using non-tfp mode
beryl: GLX_SGIX_fbconfig is missing
beryl: Failed to manage screen: 0
beryl: No manageable screens found on display localhost:1.0



My xorg file is set up like this

Automatix Bleeder worked for me! So... just get the Bleeder for Edgy Eft and install Beryl from there. You will get a clean installation that works.

I now have a problem cause there is no Bleeder for Feisty yet and my Beryl installation is not working anymore :((

You don't need XGL, the radeon 9200 should perform better with the open source driver and is easier to setup.
