SOLVED:Beryl works; But white cube with XGL :(

Misfit138 · 2007-04-21 03:00:22

Well, Beryl works with nVidia drivers, but lacks the extra "smoothness" that xgl can give. So I tried using xgl with KDE via method 1 and I also tried method 2, but it gives me the dreaded "white cube". (Seems to be a popular trouble, but googling it yields no useful info)
Any idea as to what I am doing wrong?

You need to use the "--use-copy" option when you launch beryl.

Or, with beryl-manager, click Options--> Rendering path --> Copy.

Thanks for the reply, I will try it as soon as I get off work.

DaNiMoTh:

I cannot thank you enough for this small, yet priceless bit of information. Please accept my thanks, I was battling with this for hours!

EDIT: An important setting to regard is to select window manager/Beryl (right click on Beryl gem in panel). The default seems to be Kwin, which gives slightly laggy/choppy movement.

Done!

Edited XGL instructions in KDM section to include both compizrc and beryl-manager, edited Beryl instructions to include post xgl installation steps. Also corrected xgl package name typo.
