For now, this worked for me:
Download the nVidia drivers from here: http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_ia32_1.0-9755.html
Extract the drivers with the -x switch: sudo sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-9755-pkg1.run -x
Copy the module somewhere (hopefully to be removed when they start including it in the package). I used my home directory: cp NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-9755-pkg1/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/libnvidia-wfb.so.1.0.9755 ~/
Now create a link to it from /usr/lib/xorg/modules/: sudo ln /home/aaroncampbell/libnvidia-wfb.so.1.0.9755 /usr/lib/xorg/modules/libwfb.so
That should do it. I also chown'd it to root:root, and chmod'd it to match all the other stuff in that directory.

Hope this helps someone. Once I did that, everything started to work fine. My dual screens, even Beryl runs smoothly (well, as smoothly as Beryl can run).
