    Beryl 0.20 beta2 update white screen issue

    The Beryl update hit the repos today, but when I run it it just turns my entire display white (well, light gray) until I killall beryl. The only way to get it to work is force beryl to use Copy instead of texture_from_pixmap (beryl --use-copy), which I didn't have to do before. It runs terribly slow this way. Does anybody know how to get texture_from_pixmap working again?

    I'm using the nvidia drivers from livna (9746). It worked fine with beryl 0.14.

    I have this problem too, now I can't use KDE because Beryl automatically loads on startup.
    Basically, I boot up and the KDE splash screen appears, then after a few seconds, the Beryl splash screen appears (very jerkily) and it fades to white and remains that way. I can rotate the cube using the keyboard, but that too is very jerky, and the cube is entirely white.

    xeonman, I can rotate the cube too and I get the same thing when I do. I use KDE too.

    btw, to get beryl into a usable form, run killall beryl (ctrl-alt-f1) and change your startup script to pass --use-copy to beryl. But this is slow.

    I get it too. It is not restricted to just KDE. I ran a session in Gnome and had the same problem.

    Ya, me too! Has anyone reported this to bugzilla?!? By the way, I am using 64 bit version. What is everyone else with this problem using?

    I have the Beryl 0.2.0 beta2 on two computers one a P3, GeForce4 MX 420 and the other a P4, nv6200xx? both boxes are single core cpu's. I have tried them both in Gnome and KDE and they are working nearly the same as before with the exception of the "Super" key to initiate certain functions.

    Posting so that I'll get emailed when someone fixes this... works on my computer at work... but not my computer at home... its' weird though... when I now run the command ps aux | grep beryl

    I now see both beryl-manager (normal compared to 0.1.4) and beryl --skip-gl-yield (not normal and not an option I put in)

    I tried many combinations of the options available in beryl-manager... the only workaround is the --use-copy option, but it's so slow i can't watch fullscreen video on an athlon 3000+. --skip-gl-yield or not doesn't make a difference for me.

    Working

    Someone in the beryl forums compiled the SVN version and added a repo for it... I installed it and it works flawlessly.... well for a beta.... 0.1.4 was much more stable.

    as root... type the command

    vi /etc/yum.repos.d/beryl.repo

    then paste the following into it.

    Code:
    [beryl]
    name=Beryl svn for Fedora Core $releasever - $basearch
    baseurl=http://www.saafinternational.com/beryl/repo/RPMS/$basearch/
    enabled=1
    gpgcheck=0

    then run:

    yum upgrade

    I also have the same problem since the update.
    Shall try the new repo.
    Now this maybe a silly question, but why has a beta version been put in what I thought were the stable repo's?

    I have got the same problem as reported in this thread. But after installing the most recent nvidia driver 1.0-9746 from the nvidia website this problem doesn't cooure anymore.

    When I pressed ctrl alt and f1, The screen goes black and there's a flashing white line, but nothing can be inputted, except ctrl alt delete to restart. How do I stop Beryl booting on startup? I changed the startup script I made, but it still does it. I just want to use KDE, without Beryl.

    Did you try CTRL-ALT-F2 through F6? If not try that first. The other steps are a little long... so try that first

    i had the same, white beryl screen, problem as well. (FC6/x64/Nvidia)

    I tried upgrading to the latest SVN, and it still wasnt working.

    Reinstalled my NVIDIA drivers and all is well now.

    Anyone know if the SVN releases are worth installing over the official ones?

    What drivers did you install, the ones from nvidia site or kmod-nvidia###?
    I use F26 and Gnome Xfce, with all updates applied, on a X86_64 kernel with 4gb of DRAM and Evga Geforce 7600 GS PCI-E 256mb DDR2 video card.
