Ok Im so close now, I got the latest Nvidia drivers running and Beryl running also. 1 more issue, when I load Beryl, the bar in top of programs is gone. With it gone, I cant move programs around and they stay at that location. When I load Gnome windows manager again, they reappear and Im fully operational. Thanks for any advice.

Here is a copy of my xorg.conf
Now I read to change the bit rate to 24 so you will see I change everything into 24. Now I also read we need to go to NVIDIA panel setup and change it there to 24 bit also but I only have 32 bit, 16 bit and 256 colors. There is no 24 bit so you think that might by the problem? Come on guys we are real close of getting this running, Thanks for any advice.

You know, martinje, it would have been much more helpful to others that have similar beryl issues if you kept everything in one thread.
The problem you're having is probably solved through what BIGEE1212 suggested in one of your other threads:
In Section "Screen" in your etc/X11/xorg.conf add this:
Code:
Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "True"
In the future, if you don't fragment your thread topics you won't miss these things.

Bigtrouble I did that all ready with same result. I removed it from my current Xorg to keep it as clean as possible. I posted the info that did not help in the past thread. Maybe I will add it and repost my Xorg and maybe it put it in wrong spot? I added that line under the screen section like he suggested. Thanks for any more advice...

Bigtrouble I could kiss you amigo! Well I went off and re-added the line and boom it worked this time! Maybe it did not like where I placed it before, but now it all works AWESOME!! Now for another quick question, how can I add the Beryl application to autoload at start up? THanks for everyones help in this long and difficult journey.

Good job. Happy it works now.
Personally, I would not load beryl by default because ubuntu's updates have broken it for me in the past. So if beryl breaks and you have it auto-load it may be difficult to disable it (you may have issues with kernel updates).
If you really want it to autoload goto system->preferences->sessions
then goto the startup tab, click add and use beryl-manager as the startup command.
Good luck,
-bt
Edit: if you do use autoload, I would remove the beryl-manager autoload proir to rebooting after a kernel, video driver or xorg update. once you know beryl is working you can then re-add it.
