Beryl on Ubuntu

[edawnz]

I’m attempting to follow Falko's installation guide for Ubuntu’s Feisty Fawn on an ATI Radeon graphics card. I seem to have exactly the same hardware as in the guide (i.e., “Radeon R250 [Mobility FireGL 9000]”), and everything goes without a problem up until I actually run “beryl-manager”. When that happens, I get the compatibility check output that I’ve included below.

I’ve searched around and seen that others seem to get this same error, but I haven’t been able to find an answer on how to fix this issue. I’m hoping you can provide some suggestions.

Thanks for any help you can provide!
