Re: beryl error message

You have to enable the locale specific to your language/location etc. Open /etc/locale.gen in your favorite text editor (as root) and uncomment the locale(s) you'd like to enable. Save the file then run the command locale-gen as root. That's what got it working for me, hope this helps.

Re: beryl error message

Re: beryl error message

Do you have multiple monitors? Also it appears that you don't have the composite extension loaded into X, So add the following lines to your /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Section "Extensions"
        Option "Composite" "Enable"
Endsection

You may also have problems with window decorators not showing, so add the following to the "Screen" secrion of /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Option "addARGBGLXVisuals" "True"
Option "XAANoOffscreenPixmaps" "True"

If you have any more issues, consult the Arch wiki entry for Beryl: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Beryl

EDIT Added info regarding locale errors to the wiki.
