I don't know if anybody else has this problem, but with Beryl and Aiglx, xscreensaver becomes nearly worthless (visually). Even the non-gl screensavers have lines across them and blink.

Is there anyway I can tell beryl not to mess with this one application? Because it looks like its trying to render an already rendered window... or something. The end result is that when I come back from idle, I have to restart beryl.

Something's fishy, and I'd just generally like to avoid the whole thing by keeping the two as seperate as possible.

Any ideas?

Well for me, beryl locks up, both X and my keyboard if the screensaver is run.

I've tried both opengl and non-gl screensavers, same problem.

using:

[I--] [ ~] x11-wm/beryl-0.1.0 (0)
[I--] [ ~] x11-wm/beryl-core-0.1.0_p20061011 (0)
[I--] [ ~] x11-misc/beryl-manager-0.1.0_p20061011 (0)

[I--] [ ~] x11-base/xorg-server-1.1.1-r1 (0)
[I--] [ ~] x11-base/xorg-x11-7.1 (0)

Only work around is to ssh into my box and killall beryl from another machine.

Well XGL != AIGLX. But really, nvidia isn't AIGLX either, it's TFP. But in any event, totally different setups for AIGLX/TFP vs XGL.

AIGLX is direct rendering to apps, indirect to WM
XGL is direct render to WM, and indirect to apps.

AIGLX > XGL (IMHO)
