I've made a little more progress, I install gconf-editor and then looked
at the options under apps/compiz. I didn't change anything but after that
I was able to run the beryl-manager. However I still can't enable desktop
effects.

What else do I have to do?

I got it to work, I needed to add the following to xorg.conf


Section "Module"
Load "glx"
Load "v4l"
Load "extmod"
Load "dbe"
Load "fbdevhw"
EndSection

I placed this at the end
Section "Extensions"

Option "Composite" "Enable"

EndSection

Now that I've got it to work I've disabled it. There are only a couple of
of effects in compiz, Windows Wobble when Moved which is nauseating and
Workspaces on a Cube which is just plain annoying. I haven't figured out
how to select beryl. When I just start it from the command line it makes
the desktop unusable.
