I've downloaded and installed beryl through pacman, and I can see the beryl tray icon when I start beryl-manager, however when I select beryl as a window manager, it removes the window frames for a second, goes back to xfwm, and spits out this -
[mike@europa ~]$ beryl-manager
[mike@europa ~]$
** (beryl-manager:7365): WARNING **: Couldn't find a Selection Owner, perhaps no WM running?
Otherwise, manually kill your wm, and report the bug to the developers, it doesn't follow the standards.
Falling back to looking for a defined WM in xlsclients.

By the way, I've got an old nVidia card which I used nvidia-96xx as its driver.
Also, while I'm at it (instead of making a new thread), I'm looking for some way to turn off the monitor after a certain amount of inactivity, and then eventually suspend (s3) after a longer time. I've got a desktop so I keep my computer on all the time, but I haven't found any way to turn off my monitor after being idle for 20 minutes.
Thanks

Why not using compiz-fusion instead of Beryl? Beryl is obsolete, as it has re-merged with compiz (creating compiz-fusion).
Repository to be found here.

I still get "compiz (core) - Fatal: No composite extension"

Nevermind.. I just added
Section "Extensions"
Option "Composite" "Enable"
EndSection
to the end of my xorg.conf
But now I have no window borders. What's worse is my terminal windows are completely white.

You might change the window manager to compiz after starting the whole thing - metacity obviously won't work or has to be re-enabled.
Additionally, what about this line in the Device-Section of your xorg.conf
Option "XAANoOffscreenPixmaps" "true"
Is it there?

No it's not there should it? I already changed the wm to compiz, which made my window frames disappear. When I change it back to Xfwm it's all back to normal.

I did something to xorg.conf and it fixed itself. I think it was either the "XXANoOffscreenPixmaps" "true".. or "TripleBuffer" "True"
Anyways it works now so thanks

Regarding the old Beryl-howtos it was to be added in order to use Beryl with nvidia-AIGLX. You might try out adding it and thereafter restarting X, but I'm far from being an expert (in fact I never got Beryl or CompizFusion to run at proper speed).
