the voodoo3 graphics card is *extreamly* old (nine years old now) and it will not be able to use the visual effects. you need to get a newer graphics card

so lets not even mention beryl or compiz fusion right

ubuntu uses compiz fusion by default, beryl is a dead project and should never be used (all functionality from it was merged into compiz fusion). but no, your graphics card cant handle either of them
