It makes a lot of difference!

Complete description:
I un-ticked the "Sync to VBlank" option in Beryl Settings Manager. This made it work... once. The second time, the black screen appeared again and hard reboot was still necessary.
Then, I updated metacity and tried several times again. Now it still works perfectly only once, but then on successive trials the system is up again, just with metacity running instead of Beryl, so that I just need to manually restart Beryl and everything's ok again. I hope this can give a clue about what's going on.

Thanks for the hard work!
