Compiz is already there in feisty. Check ubntuguide.org for more on how to set it up.
If you are running Ubuntu 7.04 and you have intel graphics then it will work without any problem. for nvidia n ATi you need to install driver. go to System > Preferences > Desktop Effects and enable it.
Compiz is the default window manager in Ubuntu 7.04
For beryl to fully work u need to download beryl, to do this open
System > Administration > Synaptic Package Manager
And click on the search button in Synaptic Package Manager
u will get return results
Select Beryl and mark it for installation.
Click on apply (u need to hav net connection)
Beryl will be installed automatically and u will get the notification of successful installation.
To start beryl press ALT+F2:
Type:
beryl-manager
A read diamond will come to system tray, thats it
After that, to create a desktop shortcut:
Use your text editor of choice to create a file named /usr/share/xsessions/Beryl.desktop.
$ sudo gedit /usr/share/xsessions/Beryl.desktop
Paste or type the following into it:
[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=Beryl
Exec=/usr/bin/startberyl.sh
Icon=
Type=Application
save your file, and close your text editor.
restart the system or else press CTRL+backspace to restart X-session

i installed beryl, but how to make it start as i boot ubuntu?
^^^^^^^
Insert the Entry 'beryl' and 'beryl-manger' in
System-->Preferences--->Sessions--->Startup Programs.
It will start automatically during boot.

Is it.. AFAIK 'Metacity' is the default window manager in Feisty.. Compiz is there by defaultT159 said:
Yes.Metacity is the "chosen One" for GNOME and Ubuntu.but u can choose any wm for that matter.Metacity now offer compositing feature also.
Btwn I have a question .. How to switch between different wm .. Bocz I don't know the actual technique I use Beryl tray icon for that..
actually there is the "session" starts with most wm's.that is,in GDM menu sessions-u can chose which wm u want to use.as in earlier gnome the window manager was sawfish.
as with GNOME session replacing metacity,i dont know much but u can choose other wm by using gconf tool someway.Google Is Your Friend
