[Tfug] Beryl

If  you were running on the top of Windows that is enough of the reason to
be unresponsive.
I would guess 1Gb of memory and a serious graphics card are minimum. Check
the FreeBSD for
the list of supported graphics cards. NVidia are excellently supported.
You really need very serious hardware to get that thing going. Pentum 4 with
256 of RAM will not cut it.
