What video card are you using?

What's the output from 'beryl --replace &'

Are you using the open source drivers, or the fglrx drivers? If you're using fglrx, you *must* install and configure Xgl. I suggest following these directions:

http://wiki.beryl-project.org/wiki/Inst ... y_with_XGL (http://wiki.beryl-project.org/wiki/Install_Beryl_on_Ubuntu_Feisty_with_XGL)

If you're using the open source drivers, you need to enable Composite in your xorg.conf file.

ok thanks, that works, but now i have the problem where everything turns white....

now what?

My guess is that you have beryl installed from the Feisty universe repo. Check to see if you have a /usr/bin/beryl-xgl file. If not, create one with the following two lines:

#!/bin/sh
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/fglrx/libGL.so.1.2.xlibmesa beryl $@ &

Then make it executable. Hopefully everything will work now.

ok so thats fixed, but now its like the window manager is constantly reloading. the screen just flickers and i cant really click on anything. i can move the cube like a centimeter before it snaps back to place.
