Hi Vincent,
It looks good, but the big problem is installing the newest nvidia
drivers from the nvidia site. Most users has a problem with that. I
also had. Finally, I found a very good site that explains the
installation procedure and the necessary modifications of the related
files. In fact, in the last week, I wrote a short tutorial for the
ubuntu forum because users are very frustrated for not being able to
make beryl run on xubuntu. Take a look at the tutorial perhaps you can
 incorporate some of the ideas there.
