Hello Michael,

Thanks for the reply. It's good to know that (probably) I am not wasting my
time trying to do something impossible. I am still struggling with getting
Beryl running and I have reached a point were I really cannot figure out
what I am doing wrong... it all worked fine (albeit slowly) in Edgy :-(

Any chance you could send me a copy of your xorg.conf?

Cheers,

Michele
