Nvidia drivers are working fine: 3D apps work like a dream. Just Beryl, with this error

Well, just forget to upgrade to 7.04, because this crap doesn't deserve to end up on your hard drive...

I solved the problem by putting


Option          "TripleBuffer" "true"

in the device section in stead of screen

and by


    Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "True"

in the wiki mentioned before, I changed the capital T to t...
