setting up beryl

[cj]

believe it or not, im using an ATI motherboard (maybe the same 
chipset?). the manufacturer gave very very very little details about 
what was in the computer and the manufacturers website is messed up (i 
noticed that the drivers and software on there site didnt work with this 
computer. even the bios updating software was designed for another 
computer), so i cant tell you for sure what ATI mobo i have
