Yes, you're right :) ... I'll try to be more descriptive:

>From a gnome session terminal, I launch "compiz --replace" or
"beryl-manager". Then alldecorations disapears (title, scrollers,
etc...), the mouse is alive, but no actions. Mouse pointer disapears
within the terminal window, but is present elsewhere.

hum... A 3D workspace ?

Using other builds of Beryl, I can obtain the following message:

--8<-------8<-------8<-------8<-------8<-------8<-------8<-----
Checking for non power of two texture support   : failed

Support for non power of two textures missing
--8<-------8<-------8<-------8<-------8<-------8<-------8<-----

all previous checks were correct (XComposite, RandR, etc...).

using glxinfo, I can have direct rendering on or off, depending of the
following section in xorg.conf:

--8<-------8<-------8<-------8<-------8<-------8<-------8<-----
Section "Extensions"
  Option "Composite" "Enable"
EndSection
--8<-------8<-------8<-------8<-------8<-------8<-------8<-----

with it: rendering off
without: rendering on
