[SOLVED] The infamous Beryl white cube

Hi, I really didn't want to make a post about this because I know it has likely been addressed multiple times before, but I've searched the forums and the wiki and cannot seem to solve my problem.

I have installed Beryl and added the composite extension to my xorg.conf file. In order to initiate Beryl I of course had to uncomment the "glx" module entry.

# This loads the GLX module
    Load       "glx"
# This loads the DRI module
#    Load       "dri"

Uncommenting just this line results in the white screen/cube error. Uncommenting the "dri" module along with it seems to least let Beryl run fine, but when I restart X, the server fails to load back up. What's weird is after simply uncommenting the dri module and restarting X I can get back to my desktop just fine. The issues seem to rise after loading Beryl then restarting X. I then have to comment the dri module again to get X working.

I saw something at the end of my xorg.conf relating to dri that was commented, but uncommenting it seems to have done nothing.

Section "DRI"
    Mode 0666
EndSection

I have upgraded my xorg-server package to the latest one in current (I actually just ran a sysupgrade about half an hour ago). I am using AIGLX. I am not sure of my driver but I have the Intel i810 chipset. I can post my whole xorg.conf file if necessary.

Thanks for any help and sorry for the repetitive topic.

Re: [SOLVED] The infamous Beryl white cube

Okay I solved the problem. It seems I overlooked a part of my xorg.conf file. There were two sections labeled "Device" but I only saw one of them. Entering the same info from the wiki in both places seems to have fixed it.

From the wiki:

Section "Device"
  [...]
  Option "XAANoOffscreenPixmaps" "true"
  Option "DRI" "true"
EndSection
[...]
