Beryl - Keyboard and Mouse Lockups

November Rain

Hi,

i've upgrated my cpu from a single core athlon 3000+ to a 4200+ x2. I had to change some kernel parameters but nothing important. Since the upgrade beryl lock up the keyboard and the mouse after a while. the whole system is still runing fine, playing mp3's, showing instant messages etc. but i cant use my keyboard or click with the mouse(but i can move). the only way to get back control is to use alt-print-k to kill all applications on the screen.

im using the beryl-manager(svn) with metacity at the moment, i tried the nvidia extentions(newest driver) and aixgl for beryl, but the problem appears in both cases. whats wrong with my system?

See this thread on the Beryl forum. As far as I can tell it's a NVIDIA bug, but the thread suggests some workarounds that may or may not help.
