Found it. Right-clicking on the beryl manager icon > Select Window Manager > Beryl doesn't appear to work. It seems to want to default back to Metacity.
So, do I need to download new video drivers? The card I have is the ATI Rage 128 Pro AGP 4x. Looking on ATI/AMD's site, they don't have drivers for that card listed under Linux. Under normal Gnome or KDE desktops the card seems to work fine.
As far as I understand, the open source drivers do not support Compiz/Beryl, and if the vendor does not offer a driver that does, then that video card cannot be used for the purpose.
