beryl: No GLXFBConfig for default depth, falling back on visinfo.

Couldn't initialize fadeDesktop. This should not happen!

I had the same thing happen. I enabled the Unstable repository and then did # pacman -Sy beryl-svn.
It brought beryl and all it's goodness back.

Re: beryl - no window manager

I have the same kind of thing here: Beryl can't start after upgrade. I have had unstable enabled and did pacman -Syu today. This far I tried to remove .beryl and .beryl-managerrc, but not luck. Here's my log when I started beryl-manager from a console window:

sven@athena:~$ beryl-manager
sven@athena:~$ libGL warning: 3D driver claims to not support visual 0x4b

Falling back to looking for a defined WM in xlsclients.

Re: beryl - no window manager

New version (0.2.1) doesn't bring solution
