Can you clearly state what the problem is. I'm lost as to following your issue.

Great! I've solved following that HOWTO but

No windows decoration!!


1- seems that beryl-plugins is going to be re-emerged ... no...
2- If i give:
(AS USER)
DISPLAY=":0" beryl-xgl

i get a white screen...
3- If i give:
Codice:
(AS ROOT)
DISPLAY=":0" beryl-xgl

It's all ok!

Using normal INPUT and VIDEO="nvidia fbdev vesa"

USE="aiglx xorg" emerge -Dv mesa xorg-server XXXX-drivers xgl beryl-core compiz;


May be a permission problem?!

What means "It's all ok!"?

If the window-borders are still missing try:
Code:
$ emerald

It's the solution for me...
(And when turning off beryl: "$ metacity")

Good luck!

How about Beryl 0.1.2? Any ebuilds for that?

There will be 0.1.2 ebuilds in portage when we've (tsunam and I) sorted out the issues.

I had a similar problem since an update en saturday. The window contents suddenly turn white but restore after minimize restore. Also all the pupups and the gnome panel are drawn with a white frame and skydome and top and bottom images turn white after a while.

After trying everything and reemerging the packages some times I noted that if y restarted beryl by doing beryl-xgl --replace evrything is fixed.

my startup files.

/usr/bin/startxgl.sh wrote:

#!/bin/bash
Xgl -fullscreen :1 -audit 0 -ac -br -accel glx:pbuffer -accel xv:fbo &
sleep 2 && DISPLAY=:1 gnome-session


Then I start this with gnome-session
/usr/bin/compizrc wrote:

#!/bin/bash
# Start compiz within gnome-session

if [ `ps -A | grep Xgl | wc -l` == "1" ]; then
DISPLAY=:1 LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/opengl/xorg-x11/lib/ beryl-start --replace dbus beryl-manager &
DISPLAY=:1 beryl-xgl &
DISPLAY=:1 emerald &
DISPLAY=:1 setxkbmap -model pv105 -layout us -variant intl
fi


After loading there's the white thing problem but after

Code:
$beryl-xgl --replace &


Everything is ok.

Unfortunately 0.1.2 doesn't seem to help anything here. Hard locks without blinking an eye. :?

hmm I got the impression that the black windows are coming earlier. I just opened 6 windows and the seventh came up black. :(
I'm on nvidia drivers 9742 but the problem appeared with earlier versions as well

Anyway love the burning effect

Hmm now that i#ve tested the new version a couple of days i have to say i rather have more problems than less. the java problem still exists and now i get bad graphical glitches like the top 15% of the screen being attached to the bottom and stuff like that very often. It happens way more often when using an opengl application. Hmm still fun and reloading the wm is always an option.

Finally I've solved ALL (white screen or No-Window-decoration) of this issues doing:

cd ; mv .beryl .beryl_backup


... using XGL started by '/etc/init.d/xdm start'
and loading Beryl-1.2 or Compiz with Emerald or Acquamarine !!!

Well, it seems that beryl no longer hard locks my computer, it merely causes X to crash instantly...

Overlay is still required if you want to use xgl, or want the shortcuts for moving windows to a new viewport via the window decorations as libwnck is patched in the overlay, not in portage.


So in order to get the window shortcuts, do i only need to add the overlay and emerge libwnck? or is this already in portage but masked?

thanks for the help

I'm running beryl with nvidia-drivers- 1.0.9746.

I still get the black windows, when I open a few of them (especially when on 1600x1200 resolution). It make beryl almost unusable, because you must minimize the windows all the time.

Does anybody have an Idea when nvidia is going to fix this bug?

256MB cards don't have this problem.

My 128MB card does though...

And don't even try dual display... Only a few windows work.

Did you try 1600x1200 on 256Mb card and open A LOT of full screen windows?

What is different, the driver is the same, I guess you must open enough windows, to use all the video ram. Then the black ones come.

Am I wroGn?
