The glxinfo message is not inportant - I get the same, and beryl still works.

One of the most common errors I've seen on beryl forums. It can be due to many 
reasons - it is difficult to say what it is in your case without knowing your 
setup. I have an nvidia card with the nvidia binary drivers. My xorg.conf is 
here:
ftp://hatvani.unideb.hu/personal/screenshots/beryl/xorg.conf

I use KDE, and I changed the window manager to beryl in .xinitrc:

export KDEWM=beryl
exec startkde

I also start up aquamarine decorator via .kde/Autostart (with a 10 seconds 
delay, because it won't start simultaneously). 

Try opening a terminal while running xfce, and type beryl --replace && 
emerald --replace - and see what error messages it spits out. In case you 
have an nvidia card, it should work (with xorg.conf similar to mine).
