Hi, I have the portage version (0.1.4) of beryl. I have managed to get it working with up to ~90fps on a radeon 7000 using AIGLX and the radeon driver. I know I must have changed some setting but for the life of me I can not find it to reverse it.

My "cube" is no longer a cube - but only two faces! I can rotate and drag windows around but there are only two desktops. I have looked in the cube plugin section of beryl-settings but can find nothing in here - does anybody know how this would happen and if I can remedy it so I have a four sided cube again instead of a two sided one. It gets cumbersome with my cube as it is - sometimes the plane I have instead of a cube gets stuck diagonally across my screen and its a real job to drag it back to get it to snap to the desktop properly.

I have looked through this forum and beryls list but nada!

Any configs, logs, screenshots(if I had somewhere to post them) I can get if that is going to be helpful.

Thanks

I'm not in front of my computer right now, I'm afraid, but I know that there are two plugins that control the cube. One is the desktop cube and the other is something like cube rotation. Check whichever the other one is as it may be in there.

thanks for the quick reply alienjon.

Well I've been through both plugins and I am none the wiser. There doesn't seem to be an option for how many faces - which I guess makes sense since a cube has a set amount of faces right? then why the hump do I have only two sides? Maybe I wrote a double sided desktop plane plugin in my sleep - its the simplest explanation!!

Hi,

I was looking through some other posts and found that in the General Options in Beryl-Settings-Manager there is a setting called "Horizontal Virtual Size" - I had this set to '2' - guess what I only had two viewports - I've now got a desktop hexagon instead of cube - nice :twisted:
