Check if your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file has the following line
Code: 
Section "Extensions"
        Option "Composite" "Enable"
EndSection
If not, then add it at the end.

And yeah you need to restart X after adding that line.

AND to be on the safer side also add these lines to the /etc/X11/xorg.conf
after the device line:
Code: 
         Option          "AIGLX" "true"

Use this command
Code: 
sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
You can't generally open files outside your home partition without root access

^^ you need to have the line
Section "Extensions"
Option "Composite" "enable"
EndSection

NOT in the End.
press ALT+F2 to get run command:
then insert "gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf"
edit and save.also make sure you have the module dbe loaded.(Load "dbe")
below is a sample of mine:
Code: 
Section "Device"
        Identifier      "Intel Corporation 82915G/GV/910GL Integrated Graphics Controller"
        Driver          "i810"
        BusID           "PCI:0:2:0"
        Option "XAANoOffscreenPixmaps" "true"
EndSection

Section "Extensions"
        Option "Composite" "enable"
EndSection

 Option          "AIGLX" "true"

for gui to appear.boot and login from any VTE's and do the following:
Code: 
sudo nano -w /etc/X11/xorg.conf
just check through the lines to get the section device:and edit it to look like:
Code: 
Section "Device"
        Identifier      "Intel Corporation 82915G/GV/910GL Integrated Graphics Controller"
        Driver          "i810"
        Option "XAANoOffscreenPixmaps" "true"
EndSection
Also check ur Xorg.0.log by
Code: 
~$sudo less /var/log/Xorg.0.log
for what error.
also check ur section modules for:
Code: 
Section "Module"
        Load    "bitmap"
        Load    "dbe"
        Load    "ddc"
        Load    "dri"
        Load    "extmod"
        Load    "freetype"
        Load    "glx"
        Load    "int10"
        Load    "record"
        Load    "vbe"

np problem if u can't work in CLI mode
use ExplorerFS in windows xp to extact ur /etc/X11/xorg.conf file.
Alternatively u can use a Live cd

Enjoy Tweaking!

Now it's easy.pls carefully edit; use:
Code: 
~$ gksudo gedit  /etc/X11/xorg.conf
after editing dont forget to save the file.
first add the option load dbe
Code: 
Section "Module"
        Load    "bitmap"
        [B][U]Load    "dbe"[/U][/B]
        Load    "ddc"
        Load    "dri"
        Load    "extmod"
        Load    "freetype"
        Load    "glx"
        Load    "int10"
        Load    "record"
        Load    "type1"
        Load    "vbe"
EndSection
secondly:
after "Section Device
add the following:
Code: 
Section "Extensions"
        Option "Composite" "enable"
EndSection
save the file.try the command below in a terminal to goto single user mode.
Code: 
~$sudo telinit 1
after it prompts u to login or press CTRL+D,,try the second option press ctrl+d and wait if X and GNOME loads successfully.
ps:In beryl site,they put something on kernel-2.6.15..mean something with DRI.anyways we should try :p
