Ok guys,
I did the Bery install using this guide:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=488385

When I launched beryl-manager from the terminal I get this error:
Beryl system compatibility check *
************************************************** ************

Detected xserver : AIGLX

Checking Display :0.0 ...

Checking for XComposite extension : failed

No composite extension
beryl: No composite extension

(emerald:6504): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_ref: assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed

EDIT:============================================= =

Ok I got some of this fixed, apparently the cert for one of the updates wasn't available forcing an error. Now when I start Beryl from the terminal with beryl-manager this error appears:

(emerald:7074): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_ref: assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed
Fatal: Failed test: texture_from_pixmap support
Checks indicate that it's impossible to start compiz on your system.

Thanks in advance folks.

Thanks for the response Falko. I did manage to learn something from that post, I ran: glxinfo | grep rendering
direct rendering: Yes

That looks good, so I ran:
glxinfo | grep texture_from_pixmap

And got this output:
GLX_EXT_import_context, GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap, GLX_OML_swap_method,

However when I run:
LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=1 compiz --replace

I get this error:
Fatal: Failed test: texture_from_pixmap support
Checks indicate that it's impossible to start compiz on your system.

Hmm, ok now I'm googling this error.

====EDIT=====
I suppose I could just buy a legacy video card and install it.

I know I already posted this but I felt it was worth posting again. After performing a fresh install of Ubuntu 7.04, updating, and following Falkos beryl install guide for ATI I now have Beryl running properly. Thanks so much Falko for a superior tutorial on installing Beryl, job well done.
