Finally found the reason of having a "blue" screen upon starting beryl-manager, it is due to some stupid coding in Xorg server, which has not considered big endian architectures, like PowerPC.

At the same time, it is my first time to build RPM for Fedora Core 6, using pbuilder like program called "mock", it is so easy and tidy!
