This is true.. Finally got beryl working last night by removing my =
Geforce 256 (as the nvidia-driver-7184 port does not build on 7.0 =
current.) and installing an old Geforce4 MX440 64mb.

I was quite surprised how well the old Geforce4 functioned with Beryl =
and all the desktop effects. Very cool.

Yes, indeed. This worked! The X-servers comes up, and even glxgears seem =
to spin at decent speed.

However, at random points after much work, such as moving a window "too =
much"=20
or scrolling through "too much" textual output in an xterm, the X-server =
hangs. In top(1) it looks like:

  PID USERNAME    THR PRI NICE   SIZE    RES STATE    TIME   WCPU =
COMMAND
  720 mi            1 130    0 80016K  6792K RUN     22.2H 97.56% Xorg

Killing it works (but only with -9) leaving the screen black. Trying to =
start a new session after this (logging in remotely) hangs the whole =
machine...

The box is a single Pentium3 @450MHz... Any ideas?
