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. Sadly I'm not interested in working on this and I have no
particular knowledge that I could sell to fix AIGLX or pcigart.

Your best bet is to ask xorg developers.
