Beryl's Being a PITA
Hey everyone. I've been lurking for a bit, but Beryl has tossed an oily rag in my cave and forced me to come out for help.

I come from AIX via experience from 7 years ago, and haven't been on linux since I did a FreeBSD (yes, it's not linux. I know) FTP install over a 28.8 dialup. Be gentle.

I'm running Zod on a Dell E521 (nVidia GeForce 6150 LE). I have the Livna drivers installed, and have the latest version of Beryl-KDE running in (of all places) KDE.

I've been just putzing around, and had it set to use Compiz. When I do this, along with having Emerald set as decorator, my titlebars disappear. One of the threads I found suggested restarting X server (Ctrl+Alt+Bksp). I did this, and the X server locked (everything but mouse); had to do a hard restart.

xorg.conf:
Code:
# Xorg configuration created by livna-config-display

Section "ServerLayout"
	Identifier     "Default Layout"
	Screen      0  "Screen0" 0 0
	InputDevice    "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
	InputDevice    "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"

Not sure what else to include, so if any file/settings would help, let me know.

Thanks in advance everyone.

If you are using i386 you will need to check that you have a i686 kernel installed ( the livna driver wont work without this )

to check follow this link

Done.

Code:
Linux blacksun 2.6.22.2-42.fc6 #1 SMP Wed Aug 15 12:34:26 EDT 2007 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux
Unfortunately, still not getting titlebars. I'm prolly gonna spend what's left of my evening doing a live install to FC7, so I may just sideline this until the install's done.

Comparing your xorg.conf to mine, you are missing the following lines (in blue). I don't have/use Xinerama, so I'm not sure if you need that line:

Code:
Section "Files"
	ModulePath   "/usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/nvidia"
	ModulePath   "/usr/lib/xorg/modules"
EndSection

Section "Module"
	Load  "glx"
	Load  "dbe"
	Load  "extmod"
EndSection

Section "ServerFlags"
	Option	    "AIGLX" "on"
	Option	    "Xinerama" "0"
EndSection
Also, I don't have this section:
Code:
Section "DRI"
	Group        0
	Mode         0666
EndSection
Hope that works

[edit: Oh, and you'll probably either need to reboot or else logout/login before the settings have any effect]
