This is running the nvidia binary driver. I quite like using beryl, but I've found that for most people I talk to beryl/compiz is the software equivalent to having a webcam built in to a laptop - a very cool idea that may convince you to try Linux, but not something that you use much once you get it running. I think that this alone is a good enough reason to enable compiz by default on systems that will run it. Jonathan
