Bug Description

Took some time to install Beryl, first the Graphic Card NVIDIA FX 5500. The drive is NVIDIA 9755, which is specific to this drive and I have run with Bery 0.2.0. Because the fusion of Compiz and Beryl, in one of updates, changes something. NOw I get the white scree, meaning the video card is out memory, I down load Beryl from http://www.beryl-project.org/releases.php. I reinstall the 0.2.0 version, still I have the white screen, I try to install Compiz-Fusion with the same result. Itry the last version of 0.2.1 not white screen, Beryl start but froze, any thing below 0.2.0 is white screen. I think is the Xgl driver. When I try the GL desktop immediately I have white screen.

 Resolve problem, I had to edit the xconfigure and add:
Load "dri"

Section "DRI"
 Mode 0666
EndSection

which was not included in the drivers for NVIDIA
There is a wiki guide I use is guide and how to install drivers, etc..

Thank You, very much, in any case if there is guide,
should mention for NVIDIA, the files needed to have
the x-window running.
