If you happen to have an 8800 series card and are using beryl/compiz could you please post your
xorg.conf
Xorg.0.log
kernel version
card type (GTX or GTS)
and whether or not you are using aiglx/xgl/or just the nvidia drivers? |

I got a 8800 gts and beryl. And it has weird behavior. Like in beryl I can't click on menus. It has no effects.

Well, in my case this was fixed by turning off the "Sync to Vblank" option in the beryl settings manager (compiz has a similar setting which needs to be turned off).
If that doesn't work with you, then your problem may be related to having
=x11-proto/randrproto-1.2.0
=x11-libs/libXrandr-1.2.1
If this is the case, for me this was resolved by also having xorg-server-1.3. Or you can rollback those packages by adding them to package.mask and rerunning a deep world update. (emerge -uavDN world) |

i'm not having any new problem with beryl
what i did when swapping from 6800 to 8800 was to set my
video to nv in xorg and eselect xorg-x11, uninstalled my nvidia-driver
commented out my nvidia settings in xorg pertaining to GLX
shutdown, installed the 8800, login and installed the nvidia-driver
uncomment my xorg settings.....everything works fine & hauls ass
...nvidia-settings/lm_sensors doesn't read the board temp "i don't
know if this board has a sensors for it like my xfx 6800 did" but it
does give me GPU temp. Re-installed nvidia-settings and have the
new AA and FSAA capabilities "don't know if i had to re-install but i did"
nvidia/beryl ## i get screen flicker with XGL, but i got that with my 6800 too

The option "sync to VBlank didn't worked.
But I updated xorg-server to 1.3.0 and xorg-x11 to 7.2 and everything works fine!
I don't think that updating 7.2 is necessary but I wanted to try.
I had to unmask a couple of packages to emerge xorg-x11 7.2 but it was fine.
Thanks a lot!

It may be something you could fix by just rebuilding beryl or compiz. I do know the problem occurred for me at least with 1.2.1 of these packages and for others (I searched the forum to find the thread). I ended up noticing it was fixed when I updated world and got xorg-server-1.3, but I suppose it's possible a simple recompile of the packages in question would have done well enough. Can't say because I didn't try that method. |
