I start xgl with /usr/bin/startxgl-custom in gdm:

#!/bin/sh
Xgl -fullscreen :1 -ac -accel glx:pbuffer -accel xv &
DISPLAY=:1 gnome-session

What's the problem?.

Regards.

I use beryl binary packages of unstable:

$ pacman -Q | grep beryl
beryl-core-svn 672-1
beryl-dbus-svn 671-1
beryl-manager-svn 671-1
beryl-plugins-svn 677-1
beryl-settings-svn 671-1
$ pacman -Q | grep emerald
emerald-svn 671-1
emerald-themes-svn 671-1

I use xgl of:

[danimoth]
Server = http://jjdanimoth.altervista.org/arch/i686

I have installed xgl with:

$ sudo pacman -S xgl-git

Regards.

To run beryl on Xgl, you need to install mesa-xgl-cvs, and start beryl with

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/mesa-xgl-cvs/lib beryl .....

You can also use nvidia's beta driver, which is capable of running beryl directly, and it's much faster. See other threads about beryl/nvidia for more info.

I had the same problem, and aquila's way fixed it for me a while back.
I chose to run XGL because NVidia's beta drivers were eating up my CPU, even without berly, I would be on 15-20% cpu constantly, switching back to the non-beta drivers put me back down to 0-2% CPU constantly.

I decided to just give up on beryl/compiz in the end, I realised I didn't need the eye candy, it just distracts me from my work .

But if there is an explanation for the beta NVidia problem I'd like to hear it, since I hope it won't be there on the actual release of the driver.
