Beryl on Ubuntu Edgy (Gnome)

Hi

For the life of me, I cannot get this working!!! I have a Radeon 9700 Pro and keep getting this message:

sam@sam:~$ beryl
XGL Absent, checking for NVIDIA
Nvidia Absent, checking for texture_from_pixmap
texture_from_pixmap Present
beryl: No composite extension

I have installed XGL but for some reason it just will not work

Please help

Thanks

I have Nvidia so can't really help, except have you tried these steps?

Ok it be working now... however, it seems to cane my system slightly (i.e. Swiftfox is a little slow to use).. I am running an Athlon XP 1900+, Rad 9700Pro and 512MB RAM.... Should it be 100% slick?

Thanks

Hmm, could be 512MB of ram is slowing it down - hard to say without looking at stats. I use AIGLX instead of XGL as well. Mines a duel core 1.6, 1gb ram and intel integrated gfx and it runs it fine.
