Bug Description

Binary package hint: beryl-manager

Anyone who is using a nested Xgl session to launch beryl-manager within won't be able to start beryl from beryl-manager. The binary that was previously present in third party debs, beryl-xgl does not exist in ubuntu packages.

I was running beryl from ubuntu.beryl-project.org; however I have to use the beryl-xgl binary provided by the 3rd-party repository maintainers rather than beryl. This morning, I upgraded to the new packages provided in universe, and I get an error

beryl: GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap is missing
beryl: Using non-tfp mode
beryl: GLX_SGIX_fbconfig is missing
beryl: Failed to manage screen: 0
beryl: No manageable screens found on display :1.0

which is the same error I got when running beryl rather than beryl-xgl from the old repositories. I've had to revert back to an old version on ubuntu.beryl-project.org/ to get beryl working again.
