Yes, I'm running CURRENT on a PIII 1.2 GHz laptop with Xorg 7.2, 
Beryl, with an NVIDIA Geforce2 Go 32MB with Xfce.
There is an outstanding bug in the NVIDIA UNIX drivers:

I just installed Xorg 7.2, Beryl, then the NVIDIA driver.  My .xinitrc 
looks like:
emerald&
beryl&
exec dbus-launch --exit-with-session xfce4-panel
