Hi there,

I've tried to install aiglx (http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_AIGLX) then I've choosen to install beryl (http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_AIGLX#Beryl). But when i started beryl-start or beryl-manager. Border of windows disappeared and gnome freezed. I red many forums I tried many of them, but still same effect. and I m just more and more confused about aiglx, xgl, compiz, beryl... I've just wanted nice effects. :?

I have the same problem. I'm using radeon x700 beryl+aiglx. I'm using kde not gnome but the symptoms are the same:
after starting beryl-menager, windows lose borders and whole system freezes.
now I'm updating system and disabling aiglx--> maby this will help.

Pozdrawiam

i take it the closed source ati-drivers don't work with AIGLX yet yes? i don't expect using the open source drivers will be a problem with the new card but they never went higher than 640x480 with my onboard redeon Xpress 200G.

The proprio ATI driver doesn't support AIGLX for the moment.

If you install the proprio driver, you must use the XGL technology.
