@jimhap:

About that compile: can you give me the options of the configure? (by ./configure --help ) You should watch when configuring for "shared libraries".

Don't worry about it: (a) I wasn't aware of the hidden header unionfs thing, and (b) I've since learned that the patch for the driver I was trying to compile has a bug preventing it from working properly with new versions of Xorg.
(c) Someone else has compiled it for me ;=)
(d) I'm sort of off-topic really (sorry) since my concern was getting a driver going with a new Xorg, not with Beryl per se.

Posted: **Sat 21 Apr 2007, 03:44**

I've done more tests on the PC with the Savage chipset and found something interesting.
Xorg looks for the DRI modules at /usr/X11R7/lib/dri/:

Code: Select all

(==) AIGLX enabled
(II) LoadModule: "dri"
(II) Loading /usr/X11R7/lib/xorg/modules/extensions//libdri.so
(II) Loading extension XFree86-DRI
(II) LoadModule: "savage"
(II) Loading /usr/X11R7/lib/xorg/modules/drivers//savage_drv.so
(EE) AIGLX error: dlopen of /usr/X11R7/lib/dri/savage_dri.so failed (/usr/X11R7/lib/dri/savage_dri.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)
(EE) AIGLX: reverting to software rendering

But is 'libGL'(MesaLibs) who look for DRI hardware drivers. Here is where my Mesa-6.5.2 build is installed:

Code: Select all

# Installation directories (for make install)
INSTALL_DIR = /usr/X11R7
DRI_DRIVER_INSTALL_DIR = /usr/X11R7/lib/xorg/modules/dri

And glxinfo shows the DRI module as renderer(hardware):

Code: Select all

display: :0  screen: 0
direct rendering: Yes
server glx vendor string: SGI
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI ProSavageDDR 20061110 AGP 1x x86/MMX/SSE2
OpenGL version string: 1.2 Mesa 6.5.2

After run beryl-manager:

Code: Select all

sh-3.00# beryl-manager
sh-3.00# libGL warning: 3D driver claims to not support visual 0x4b
**************************************************************
* Beryl system compatiblity check                            *

Now, if I make a symlink to pass the (EE) AIGLX error.

Code: Select all

ln -s /usr/X11R7/lib/xorg/modules/dri/ /usr/X11R7/lib/

Xorg.log won't have any error message after restart X. Though some warnings (WW):

Code: Select all

Later, when I ran beryl-manager:

Code: Select all

sh-3.00# beryl-manager 
sh-3.00# libGL warning: 3D driver claims to not support visual 0x4b

** (beryl-manager:31066): WARNING **: Couldn't find a Selection Owner, perhaps n  o WM running?

Was strange, Beryl had run on a mixed mode(software and hardware renderer?), but not in hardware mode since this card in no supported.

This test was done installing Dotpups, not booting from my Puppy+Beryl CD. All these DotPups are uploaded. I'll give instructions about how to install Beryl for Intel, ATI, and other cards soon, after check if this issue(running beryl on unsupported cards) can cause more problems.

The vidcap plugin is working

Have you seen ubuntu+beryl videos? now we can make Puppy+Beryl videos!! dotpups soon...

It's really good to see some guys are working on getting ATI cards to work for Beryl!

I've bought me a Palit X1950GT Super.... is there any chance that I might get this card to work with Beryl and Puppy too?

Sure, if you can get the driver working . . .

I have installed Beryl on a UsbFlashDrive (Kingston DataTraveler MiniFun 1GB) the OS is Puppy-2.16alpha, pup_save.2fs file size is 128 MB.

And I found more problems(only happens when Beryl is running):

- 2.16alpha and XFCE. Sometimes I can't drag files or folder to another filer window if 2 or more items are selected. Switching to xfwm and then beryl fix it.

- 2.14; 2.15; 2.16alpha; XFCE. Desktop flickering if Rox Pinboard is activated. Kill the pinboard to stop it.

- 2.14; 2.15; 2.16alpha; XFCE. Can't access a single window. If you kill xfdesktop, the Rox Pinboard is active and you only have one window(any type) opened.

Tip: Close, kill or disable the Pinboard to avoid these problems.

how do I auto start beryl? I have to run beryl-manager from the command line each time. also where is the lastest xfce dotpup/pet?
Edit: found xfce4-4.xx on dotpups.de
pipnboard disabled and emerald works
nividia geforce2 mx/mx 400 64 mb
sempron 1.8 ghz 512 mb ram
frugal install
grubldr added to win xp sp2 boot.ini

Add a Beryl launcher to the panel.

cb88 wrote:how do I auto start beryl?

I have no idea.

Posted: **Tue 22 May 2007, 15:24**

I already have an icon on the panel to start it.
which is newer xfce4 3.90 or xfce 4.2.3? I assume that it is the first one.
to add the menus in xfce I added a system menu in the menu editor I'll edit in how later not every thing is in the right place in this menu but it appears that everything is there lots of stuff palace in "other" submenu.

I just had a look at Beryl (on PClinuxOS) - it is a lot of fun and pleasing to use. Can hardly wait for our smart Puppy efforts. Just to say thanks for your efforts so far, really looking forward to trying this soon

Posted: **Tue 22 May 2007, 18:27**

Been using Sabayon 3.3 for a month now, in fact I'm on it right now and browsing with my "crippled" HSF modem at 14.4k. Turned Beryl off after 2 weeks and I just turn it on when I feel like showing off to my brother's buddies and the chicks they bring over here, hehehe. Never fails to amaze them.

BTW, Sabayon's Beryl version is 0.1.9999.2 and I don't know if I should update it or not. And the Nvidia driver that is installed by default is 96.31.

Posted: **Thu 28 Jun 2007, 02:39**

Beryl has been discontinued. As some of you may know the new project name is "Compiz Fusion" (beryl and compiz merge)

The new web site is at http://www.opencompositing.org/

Posted: **Thu 28 Jun 2007, 04:34**

i got this error when run beryl:
..
Checking Screen 0 ...
beryl: xcb_xlib.c:50: xcb_xlib_unlock: Assertion `c->xlib.lock` failed
Something went wrong with system check.

how can I fix this?
thnx.

Posted: **Thu 28 Jun 2007, 04:55**

Reinstall Xorg 7.2(the all in one package), mesa-6.5.2 for Xorg 7.2(x11-r7.2) and the nVidia's drivers.

Posted: **Thu 28 Jun 2007, 09:21**

thankx wow, it works now. strangely that i've installed these files before!

Posted: **Fri 29 Jun 2007, 09:13**

beryl now works, but seems to me that it's only "simple" animation, i want to have snow effect, cube etc.. i try to search but fail.. any hints?
thanks.

Posted: **Mon 02 Jul 2007, 03:02**

The "desktop cube" efect is enabled by default. To rotate the cube hold Ctrl+Alt then drag the the desktop(if the rotate cube efect doesn't start try to intall libcroco, librsvg and maybe cairo again). To search/edit/add more bindings, open 'beryl-manager' General Options>Shortcuts>Keyboard and Mouse:

If you want more effects(snow, splash, water) go to 'beryl-manager'>Extras

Also read the beryl FAQ http://www.beryl-project.org/faq.php

Posted: **Mon 02 Jul 2007, 07:13**

how can i fix "GL_ARB_fragment_program is missing" error?

also: what is "super" button in the short cut? is it "Ctrl"?
