FWIW, beryl is currently broken on my nVidia machines as well. I understand perfectly what you mean, but let me summarize how things work, people work on that kind of stuff because of interest and/or money.

Your best bet is to ask xorg developers. -- Florent Thoumie flz@FreeBSD.org FreeBSD Committer [-- Attachment #2 --] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (FreeBSD) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFGAoroMxEkbVFH3PQRCk1kAJwOz/c7QeBJ28GkawTbFjFfNzXxBwCfRKU2 AsDFqtDv1SC8Rf98GMOe0vA= =wtkP -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
