If your screen looks funny when you first launch beryl then try changing your default depth to 24 in the screen section.

/etc/X11/xorg.conf

Section “Screen”
Identifier “Default Screen”
Device “nVidia Corporation Quadro FX 350M”
Monitor “Generic Monitor”
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection “Display”

That was the final step for me.

Salut!
Just in case, i had a problem with beryl(i tried to use compliz as a window manager…?) and it has crash my new-super-clean installation of beryl…so to restore default settings on debian etch i had to do this (in my local home user directory (/home/user/):
mv .beryl beryl.backup
mv .metacity metacity.backup
mv .emerald emerald.backup
mv .beryl-managerrc beryl-managerrc.backup

…the only fact of rename .beryl was not enought for me…

hope this may help

Once again, this howto doesn’t say that setting it up this way will only give you beryl when using gnome. Those using kde still see nothing of beryl this way.

Those using kde should take a look here:
http://www.crongeyer.com/howtos/Beryl-Debian-Etch-HOWTO.html

This explains the extra steps needed to make beryl a session like kde, xfce, and so on.
And for alternative ways to have beryl started:

I do wonder why about half of the howto’s on the net instruct to put the Option “XAANoOffscreenPixmaps” and the other(s) in the section screen, while the other half says that those should go in the section device. I used the latter, conform my first link, but it apparently also works when putting it in the other section.
