What did i do wrong from XGL and Beryl??

Guys,

I've been trying to setup XGL and Beryl on Arch64, and my system is AMD64 X2 3600+ with ATI X1300Pro. I think i got them installed but they are not behaving the way i want them to? for instance, if i start beryl as WM, all open window will lose toolbar and i cant minimize, maximize etc etc. there are also no wobbly wobbly thing, only KDE lagging. i also cant seem to change the theme of KDE using Emerald theme manager, nothing happened when i click on the themes. i refered to the wiki and here's what i did:

Installed these packages from AUR:

fixesproto glproto-git pkg-config glitz-cvs imake mesa-xgl-cvs xgl-git cairo-git beryl-core-svn beryl-settings beryl-plugins-svn beryl-manager-svn emerald-svn

inserted below code into /opt/kde/share/config/kdm/kdmrc

[X-*-Core]
:
:
ServerCmd=/usr/bin/Xgl :0 -fullscreen -ac -accel xv:pbuffer -accel glx:pbuffer
:
:
#Xgl extra lines
OpenRepeat=5
OpenDelay=15
OpenTimeout=2000
ServerTimeout=60

and placed this code in ~.kde/Autostart/startup

beryl-start
beryl-manager &

so, did i miss anything? or am i just stupid?  :shock:

Thanks all.

I had the same problem. What i made was change the line "DefaultColorDepth 16" to "DefaultColorDepth 24" in my /etc/X11/xorg.conf

emerald don't support 16 bits, only 24 bits or higher.
