Re: [opensuse] Beryl and openSUSE 10.2 AMD64 and nVidia
Hi there!
after reading this thread and taking a look at my system (also openSuSE 10.2 on AMD64) I'm considering installing Beryl and give it a try... Anyway, what keeps me from doing it is: how do I revert to the previous state?? is it as simple as deleting the links created as described on http://en.opensuse.org/Beryl#Making_Beryl_start_automatically ??
ln -s /usr/bin/beryl-manager ~/.kde/Autostart/beryl-manager
ln -s /usr/bin/beryl ~/.kde/Autostart/beryl
Would the Beryl setup interfere somehow with the nVidia drivers?? Right now everything is working just fine openGL-wise: GL-screensavers, googleEarth, etc and I'd be rather in an "I-wanna-kill-somebody"-mood if it breaks because of the Beryl setup...
Any hints from your experiences??
TIA,
Martin

They are mirrors for X11:/XGL repository so you can use packages from anywhere.
To be sure i installed the packages you're using, but with the same result.
But i have found a "solution", i simply had to comment out the line loading v4l (automagically introduced by sax2):
< Load "v4l" --------------
# Load "v4l"
Now it works. Great!
This has been reported on beryl forums long time back, that is the workaround used.
P.S.: Can someone figure out what's going on or where i can report this? I do not have the knowledge to further investigate the cause.
If you figure out more, share with us.

Yes deleting the links will remove beryl-manager fromstartup, although you can select to login to kwin/metacity by selecting from beryl-manager. I would advise starting beryl manually (Alt+F2 -> beryl-manager or from konsole).
Would the Beryl setup interfere somehow with the nVidia drivers?? Right now everything is working just fine openGL-wise: GL-screensavers, googleEarth, etc and I'd be rather in an "I-wanna-kill-somebody"-mood if it breaks because of the Beryl setup...
Don't worry, go ahead, if the world do go bust, we'd still be around to help. Cheers -J -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

If you choose Xgl, you will experience performance and quality issues when using 3D applications like googleearth or ut2004. I would suggest using NV-GLX (or AIGLX, with which i have no experience, though). These use the "normal" X server, so if you choose another window manager, for instance kwin, you'll get the system as before, even when running because beryl-manager lets you choose the window manager while running X (and KDE). Another additional tip: create another (two) session type(s) following the instructions under "Eine Lösung, die für beide..." from here: http://de.opensuse.org/Beryl (german) or here: http://www.suseforums.net/index.php?showtopic=28796&hl=xsession+beryl (english) (And don't use aquamarine, it does not work (yet), unfortunately.) So you can choose to use beryl or not at login. If it doesn't run instantly you may have to run beryl manually as described in http://de.opensuse.org/Beryl and/or restart KDE a few times (i had to, and now it works fine, as expected) Another issue: frozenbubble mutates to frozensystem if beryl is running, so choose kwin before starting frozenbubble! So you should before changing to a console (and back to KDE!). Don't start more than one session with beryl at once, it does not work (here). But for example: i started a local NX session as another user with multimedia support and another on testdrive.nomachine.com, and i started frozenbubble on the "local" remote NX session, all under beryl (with emerald). All live on my hexagon build of six viewports, rotating as i'm dragging with the mouse. Incredible! ( Doch Achtung! Shift-F9 gibt Wasserschaden!!!!! ;-) ) So i agree: go ahead! Best wishes Tim
