Hi guys, I followed the wiki to install XGL & Beryl and it works brilliantly except for one thing, that is if I open a menu (like file, edit etc) then around the menu I get white borders where you'd expect the shadow to be. I'm using the stable beryl from the repos, in XGL, with the fglrx driver, with an ATI Mobility X700. I don't mind turning the feature in Beryl off thats causing it if it can't be fixed another way, the problem is I can't see a setting that seems to relate. Any help appreciated.

I have the same problem, also using the fglrx driver.
I can fix it for the current session by clicking "Reload Window Decorater" (right click Beryl icon in the system tray).
Hopefully someone has a more permanent solution than this....

I have the same problem too. Just start bery-manager with a script like below.
#!/bin/sh
beryl-manager
sleep 3
emerald --replace
You won't get the stupid white borders anymore
in /dev/null no one can hear your scream...

Sorry, if I appear a bit stupid, but where do I put this script? I installed XGL like this and then beryl like described here. My card is an old Nvidia, and I use
nvidia-71xx (legacy driver). Any help is apreciated...

@Susu
Save the script under /usr/local/bin -and don't forget to chmod +x it-. After this, go to /etc/xdg/autostart (create this directory if not exists) and create a file called beryl-manager.desktop and paste below.
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Beryl Manager
Comment=Start Beryl
Exec=start-beryl
Icon=beryl-manager
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Categories=System;Application;
Encoding=UTF-8
Restart your X and have fun If you still get white borders, increase the sleep time.
