I wasn't proposing putting Beryl on the gaming machines. We want those 
to run games and it would obviously hurt the performance significantly.

My machine is running Beryl directly via recent nVidia drivers. No AIGLX 
or GLX or any of that. Bringing the machine to the con isn't going to 
be practical this year, but I have a spare nVidia card that should be 
capable of running Beryl. I can probably dig up a machine to put it 
into to be our Desktop Eyecandy Demo.
