XGL + Beryl + FC6 + whitescreen

[changyp]

I had the same problem, but only with beryl-xgl. When I run just "beryl" it works fine. I had to add an entry for "beryl" in my session properties startup dialogue otherwise beryl-manager chose compiz as my desktop manager.

I can't run beryl using XGL.Only beryl-xgl can work with XGL.
I don't know how to make beryl run under XGL.
Could you please tell me ???

same problem !

I have the same problem: white screen with ATI + XGL + BERYL
Furthermore, I can login with xgl + beryl only once from time to time; Xgl dies very often before kde is started

Is there any chance to have this very beautiful manager ?????

[lejav]

works a little with --use-copy

it works if i use --use-copy as option for beryl-xgl
(or beryl-manager -> rendering path -> copy)
but performances must be slower than with tfp, and 3D applications dont work
for instance, fgl_glxgears does not work:

# fgl_glxgears
Using GLX_SGIX_pbuffer
Xlib: extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":1.0".
Error: couldn't get fbconfig

and also xgl si very unstable.....

i have to wait for a ATI driver including TFP ......

I have the same problem...

I use FC6 latest ATI drivers and beryl 0.1.4

I get Direct rendering enabled in Xorg.0.log and I can run fgl_glxgears without problem.

(II) fglrx(0): X context handle = 0x1
(II) fglrx(0): [DRI] installation complete
(II) fglrx(0): Direct rendering enabled
(==) fglrx(0): Using hardware cursor
(II) fglrx(0): Interrupt handler installed at IRQ 177.
(II) fglrx(0): Exposed events to the /proc interface
(==) RandR enabled

When I start beryl-manager and then choose beryl the screen turns grey first and then fades to white. I can see cursor changes and I can even click stuff even though I don't see anything... the screen is completely white.

in the beryl-log I get:

beryl: GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap is missing
beryl: Using non-tfp mode
beryl: GLX_SGIX_fbconfig is missing
beryl: Failed to manage screen: 0
beryl: No manageable screens found on display :0.0
XGL Present

If I go to another console and killall beryl-xgl I get my screen back and also beryl-manager is still started so I can try diffrent options there... I have tried most things there but no luck, always the white screen.

This is my xorg.conf:
