beryl stability

lang2 · 2007-01-03 23:24:33

Finally decided to give beryl a try since it is so popular. Followed the instruction on Wiki page and got it installed. I am running it with kde not using a display manager. During the 15 (top) min play time, it crashed twice. Surely it would do better for you?

lang2 :cry:

The first thing I did when I got back from ubuntu to arch (like 2 weeks ago) was to install beryl.
Not a single crash.

I do have a 7900gt, but nvidia is the important part here.

Do you have ati or nvidia?

Edit: Oh, and I'm a gnome'r.

Sorry. Should've mentioned my graphics card. It is a nvidia 6200. I switched to XFCE4 and things look better already. But KDE would be better.....

Well, there shouldn't be any problem as long as you're running one of the newest nvidia beta drivers, and followed the wiki regarding xorg.conf:

Section "Device"
  Driver "nvidia"
  [...]
  Option "TripleBuffer" "True"
  Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals"
EndSection

Else, you could try aiglx or xgl and see if that makes things more stable.

But if it's a "kde thing", I wouldn't know the answer.
You could try the forum: http://forum.beryl-project.org/

I have random lockups when using kde and beryl, but with gnome i dont have a single problem?

That's a bit ignorant, don't you think?
For me Beryl is clearly more stable.

have any of you tried running beryl or compix on a GeForce 2 MMX 400? I tried to get Ubuntu to use compiz, but I'd always get a GLX screen not found error.

Beryl runs fine here , altho it does have its little bugs like black windows sometimes, other than that it is smooth as for me

Do a little research about Compiz and Beryl and come back.

With the new release compitz is rock stable for kde and gnome.

well, "for me" sounds ... like a personal opinion, why not, if he feels more stable - free choice, isn't it?

Oh, get over yourself already.
I've been following the development/running Compiz/Beryl from the beginning.
And even before it was named Compiz.

There seem to be a lot of hatin' on the Compiz forum these days towards Beryl. It shows in your posts too.

I whish some people could just grow up.

Heh, I use even more never build of beryl than in Unstable
And it never crashed. I use it on Nvidia GeForce 6100 (without Aiglx or Xgl).
Yes, I have black windows sometimes, but IIRC it's a bug in nvidia driver.

STiAT · 2007-01-04 19:42:08

Nvidia has alot of problems with black boxes and/or black textures lately...

But i'm sure they are about to fix that... i'm experiencing similar problems with some other applications as well.
