Its Green! Im typing this on my new dell with integrated graphics and beryl. At first it did not work. gave me a white screen. I reinstalled everything, then enabled the restricted driver for Nvidea. restarted, in bios I changed graphics memory reservation from 64 to 128 (just for the heck of it) and then it worked perfectly! Now to update to ubuntustudio!

Beryl works better on my old GForce 4 MX (lol I know don't laugh) than my GForce 7 (7 something...not plugged up right now) and I actually need to find out how to fix that.
