May I ask you how much VRAM is in your machine? With 32MB (Radeon 9200)
I had to hack around DRI limits to run Beryl at 1240x1024 and then it
chockes an more than few windows. I do think that graphic card's memory
is a decisive factor - i have heard reports of Beryl working on Radeon
7000.
Oh, and of course Beryl won't work on NVidia cards unless Noveau driver
devs have made some great advancements recently.
