Okay, after about 29 straight hours of working on getting beryl on a laptop of a friend of mine.... I FINALLY found a tutorial/walkthrough that actually worked. There are about 20 out there that are really accesible through SEARCHING. Of coarse I went through what seemed all 20 that I found with no luck what so ever in getting this to work. I then stumbled across this guide (http://www.howtoforge.com/ubuntu_feisty_beryl_ati_radeon) that worked perfectly with this Dell Inspiron 9300. This laptop is now running Feisty Fawn with Beryl on a ATI 300 video card. I really hope that when others search (if they do) they run accross this instead of the many others that may not help them. Hopefully this will save SOMEONE some time.

Hey Justin,

Thanks for spending afternoon "piming-my-comp" with Ubuntu+Beryl. I appreciate that, and I'm now officially on Linux.

The above guide works great. However I still can't get beryl running at 1440x900. :-k
The only fix was reducing the resolution to 1280x800 made beryl run VERY stable, but not as sharp.

Once again, thanks.
