The only issue I had is that I cannot run other OpenGL-based apps while Beryl is running, I am not sure if this is isolated to FreeBSD or if it also affects others running Xorg 7.2/Nvidia driver/Beryl as well. I was just wondering if there was a way around it (i.e. running Beryl and OpenGL-based apps at the same time). Thanks.
