Beryl init problems [solved]

So I heard about Beryl on these forums and thought I'd try it.  I have Beryl, XGL, and some Beryl manager apps installed on a laptop with a 7900 GS video card running the closed-source nvidia drivers.  My window manager is XFCE4, and I normally run it on xorg.  I installed beryl-manager via pacman, and when I run the Beryl Manager from the XFCE menu, I get a gem in the system tray.  I right-click, select Select Window Manager, and click Beryl, and all I see is my desktop icons shift around a bit.  If I go back to the same menu, the xfwm4 radio button is still selected.

If I try to run Beryl from a terminal within X via XFCE4, I get this:

If I try to run it at bash via command line, I get an error of "no screens found."

For reference, here is my xorg.conf.  I have adjusted it here and there in an attempt to get Beryl to work.

Re: Beryl init problems [solved]

I don't think you're supposed to use XGL with NVIDIA drivers.

Other than that, I can't help as I have ATI.

Re: Beryl init problems [solved]

I'm not even sure how to use XGL at this point ...

I have tried running beryl-xgl, but that hasn't done anything either.

Re: Beryl init problems [solved]

I'm using XGL with nVidia for a long time and beryl runs very smooth, so this is not the problem.

Re: Beryl init problems [solved]

I agree with detto, you should try AIGLX... I may not be of much help here because i have an ATI card, though, I can still post my xorg.conf or at least the line needed to enable AIGLX if you're interested...

Re: Beryl init problems [solved]

Here is my configuration for nvidia in xorg.conf:

(...)

  Section "Device"
      Identifier     "Card0"
      Driver         "nvidia"
      VendorName     "All"
      BoardName      "All"
      Option         "NoLogo" "True"
      Option         "AddARGBGLXVisuals"
  EndSection

(...)

  Section "Screen"
      Identifier     "Screen0"
      Device         "Card0"
      Monitor        "Monitor0"
      Option         "AddARGBGLXVisuals"
      (...)
EndSection

  Section "Module"
      Load           "ddc"
      Load           "dbe"
      Load           "extmod"
      Load           "glx"
      Load           "bitmap"
      Load           "type1"
      Load           "freetype"
      Load           "record"
  EndSection

  Section "Extensions"
      Option         "Composite" "Enable"
  EndSection

(...)

My beryl works perfectly well with this configuration.

Re: Beryl init problems [solved]

Comment the line:

Load       "dri"

And in the "Device" section of nvidia driver add:

Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "True"
Option "RenderAccel" "True"    #recommended if using the nvidia-71xx driver, enabled by default with newer drivers

Re: Beryl init problems [solved]

I got it to go!  I did the addrgb-blahblah option and it fired right up.  Starting beryl with startxgl 0 xfce nvidia, works great.

Thanks you guys!  Beryl is really neat.  Puts vista to shame too big_smile
