Actually I have Beryl working now. Still no dice with compiz 0.3.6.

Definitely rough edges. :-)
It doesn't seem to insert any wedge between an OpenGL application and the
screen. Thus OpenGL output is not composited. Drag an OpenGL window and the
window content stays where it is, while the window frame moves. You can't
occlude an OpenGL window with another window, either (you can occlude the
window frame, but the window content still stays on top).
E-UAE's OpenGL renderer works surprisingly well, despite the above problems. I
see no significant slow down here. I haven't been able to reproduce Jason's
problem yet, either.
Cheers,
Rich
