So I got Beryl working and all, but now I’ve got a new thing going on. When I reboot, my Xserver doesn’t start properly. If I re-install the NVidia driver (Step 6) and restart gdm, everything works fine. Until I reboot. So I guess I can’t reboot anymore.

OK, much pain, many tries, and much frustration later, I have Beryl working and kicking ass!
I was trying to fix the `direct rendering: no` problem from earlier. I think this is what fixed the problem:
Download the NVidia drivers from NVidia.
Modify the XGL startup file (`sudo gedit /usr/local/bin/startxgl.sh`):
#!/bin/sh
/usr/bin/Xgl :0 -fullscreen -ac -accel xv:fbo -accel glx:pbuffer &
sleep [...]

I’m so confused. ARAX Disk Doctor found 23 deleted partitions. Many of them are 1.40MB, and none of them are ~279GB, which is the one I deleted (most recently, I might add).

Read on for what I had to do to get Beryl working.

ARAX Disk Doctor has now found 4 partitions on my HDD. I have no idea what it’s finding at this point, and there’s still 24 hours to go. I can’t wait to see the results. I think.

Wow, ARAX Disk Doctor found another partition. It isn’t giving me any details right now, but I don’t remember having two partitions on that drive. Maybe it found the full drive partition? I won’t know for another 30 hours.

Sorry, Mvelopes, you’re just not doing it for me. Remember, I’m looking for a Quicken replacement.
Pros
I like that all the functionality is available online, anywhere you have access to a Flash 9 plugin.
It seems to be very well connected to banks, all of my banks and credit cards were easily found and it started [...]
