beryl & ati x1600

Sun Jun 10 10:15:11 UTC 2007

Hi all,
I'm using kubuntu 7.04 on an hp laptop with an ati x1600 video card, and I'd 
like to enable beryl. Now I've installed all the packages required as 
specified in the wiki 
http://wiki.beryl-project.org/wiki/Install_Beryl_on_Ubuntu_Feisty_with_ATI
and the one available on the ubuntu site but I cannot get beryl working. It 
always switches to the "backup" window manager and in the terminal where I 
run beryl-manager I can see:

[luca at fluca:~]$ beryl-manager
[luca at fluca:~]$ Xlib:  extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0".

(here I tried also to select compiz as window manager).
If I run beryl I get:
[luca at fluca:~]$ beryl
**************************************************************
* Beryl system compatiblity check                            *

Checking for XComposite extension               : failed

No composite extension
beryl: No composite extension

that requires to enable composite extension, but if I do that I still don't 
get beryl working and moreover I cannot get the 3d acceleration working (or 
at least all screensavers run very slowly!). The following is my xorg.conf 
file, does anybody has a clue about how to use beryl?

Thanks,
Luca
