Thanks for the tips....I think I forgot to state in my previous
message that latest (from ports) Beryl, Xorg 7.2 and the Nvidia
drivers are working just fine and I don't have any issues whatsoever
with those.  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.
