Here, it's attached. I'm on a university windows machine so pasting it
would ruin the linebreaks.

Note that this xorg.conf file is real borked, now that I'm looking at
it. This is _not_ the original file that I salvaged from Fedora. This
is after I've tried twenty Howtos and scripts from people that have
similar hardware as mine. Note that _two_ video drivers are
mentioned...

With this xorg.conf I _can_ start Beryl, but I cannot enable any effects.
