setting up beryl

[Rutger van Haasteren]

Hi CJ,

You should run it with XGL, not with AIGLX. AIGLX does /not/ work ok with
ATI cards. The ati drivers do not support glx_texture_from_pixmap. I had the
exact same card (and it sucks imho). At least, I don't think ATI has updated
their drivers to support this in the past few months. Cheers,

Rutger
