setting up beryl

[Rutger van Haasteren]

What drivers are you describing?

You mention the drivers from the site, the opensource drivers and the
manufacturers drivers. This is reasonably confusing.

The drivers of the manufacturer (ATI) are the closed source fglrx drivers
(so-called proprietary drivers). See ati.amd.com
The opensource ati radeon drivers are the non-proprietary drivers.

To my knowledge, on the site Kevin lets you install the fglrx drivers with
envy, so I don't understand what you mean with reverting back to the
manufacturers drivers. You /need/ fglrx. Test wether it works with glxinfo
and glxgears --printfps. Make sure that you run the right drivers first.
