Even with the commercial drivers, it is damned hard to get working
correctly. (The nvidia config script needs a "turn it all on" option.)
I need to see how compiz-fusion handles configuration. Beryl, you can
have it loaded and have the window manager set to something non-beryl.
(Very nice when you need OpenGL for other things.) I am wondering if that
is an option in the "new" version.
