Beryl stopped working

[Pierre Hansson]

Hi Howard and thanks for your reply.

Before you wrote, I fiddled around some and then I restarted and all of a
sudden it was working again. As far as I know I haven't changed any vital
settings that should affect Beryl, but again it works and still lsmod | grep
fglrx gives no output - strange.

ps -ef | grep beryl
phx 5441 1 0 19:50 ? 00:00:01 beryl-manager
phx 5574 5441 0 19:51 ? 00:00:05 beryl
phx 5723 5706 0 20:13 pts/2 00:00:00 grep beryl

Looks okay I guess?
