Make sure you have installed graphics drivers.

For NVidia
Add this repo:
deb http://nvidia.limitless.lupine.me.uk/ubuntu edgy stable
Install drivers:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install linux-restricted-modules-$(uname -r) nvidia-glx
Backup and update xorg.conf:
sudo nvidia-xconfig
restart

Composite
Active composite in X:
gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Add these lines:
Option "TripleBuffer" "true" Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "true
Installing Beryl
sudo apt-get install beryl
Startup Beryl
beryl-manager

After this, beryl should be working fine.
In my case, it didn't.
I fixed it after adding this line to my xorg.conf:
Option "DisableGLXRootClipping" "True"
Run Beryl on startup
Go to System -> Preferences -> Sessions
Tab: Startup Programs -> Add
Startup Command: beryl-manager
and add: beryl-xgl
