My guess is that there isn't enough memory in the system. I'm using an integrated nvidia card and I have 1GB RAM installed on my PC. So my video card uses (some of the) system memory. When I run beryl with too many applications open there comes a point at which every new window is black. If I close some programs everything gets back to normal. This makes me think the "black window effect" means "not enough memory". So, you may try to free some memory and run your videos again. HTH -- Best regards, Daniel -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
