Hi,

did you check /var/log/Xorg.0.log for errors?
I had a similar setup, and in the log it said it needs DefaultDepth 24 for
AddARGBGLXVisuals to load. I changed the DefaultDepth and from then
Compiz and Beryl started to work. Maybe your situation is different, but
the logfile is a good place to start troubleshooting...
