I know this thread is a little dated, but this is the link I used as a 
reference while trying to get beryl working with kde on my laptop...

I'm running KDE 3.5.7 on xorg 7.2 on FreeBSD 6.2-Stable.

dmesg yields:
drm0: <ATI Radeon LW RV200 Mobility 7500 M7> port 0x3000-0x30ff mem 
0x48000000-0x4fffffff,0x40300000-0x4030ffff irq 11 at device 0.0 on pci1
info: [drm] AGP at 0x60000000 256MB
info: [drm] Initialized radeon 1.25.0 20060524

The only difference is that I'm trying to get it to work with the KDE desktop 
rather than the Gnome desktop.

I've followed the steps in the link.  When I try to load Beryl however, I get 
a light-grey screen.  I can rotate the cube, but it's all grey (except for 
the "gems" at the top and bottom).

I'm perplexed, but I don't think it's a problem with Beryl (because of the 
rotation and the gems displaying at top and bottom of the cube)...   Is there 
a trick to get beryl to work with KDE on FreeBSD?

Thanks,

Mike
