[opensuse] Beryl and scrolling artifacts

2007-06-26 Thread Hans van der Merwe

I have Beryl working great on my nVidia 6600.
But when Firefox/Opera/Konqueror (or gwenview etc) is loading a page (or
photos) and I scroll the page I get scrolling artifacts on the screen,
scrolling down.  They disappear when the page is finished loading.  A
old status bar is drawn in the page area for each scroll increment.
I can generate screenshots if necessary.

[opensuse] beryl no window borders

2007-06-17 Thread primm
Hi
I got beryl working but to get window borders I have to use:
Rendering path  copy
Aquamarine doesn't give borders either.

This slows things down, glxgears gives 2000 under kde. That goes down to 11 
with beryl.

Any ideas?
10.2 on amd 64, KDE, nvidia 6100 using native nvidia drivers only.

Thanks, Steve.

The output is correct.

If you right click on the red diamond and choosing 'reload window manager' 
does anything?  Make sure the window manager is set to 'beryl' under the 
select 'window manager option'.  Also, turn on splash screen for beryl so you 
can ensure it's loading - Right click the diamond, choose 'beryl settings 
manager' and under 'extras', choose splash.  

Also, try running beryl-manager from a konsole session, you might get more 
output that would help.

Did you reboot after enabling xgl?

Cheers

Pete

[opensuse] Beryl Spawns Too Many Desktops

2007-03-22 Thread Andrew Burgess

I'm running beryl 0.2.0 on my openSuSE 10.2 system.  When I switch to
the Beryl window manager, for some reason it spawns a bunch of extra
desktops, more than normal.  It says that I should only have one
desktop, yet it will spawn either 6 or 8.  If I try changing the
number of desktops, then I get some multiple of desktops ( i.e. try
using 4 desktops, beryl creates 32 of them).

I'm not really sure where it is that this happens.  Beryl actually
creates something that looks more like a 3D Hexagon than a Cube.

I'm running an ATI Mobility Radeon X1600 card with the newest drivers

Anyone have any advice?

Check Horizontal Virtual Size, Virticle Virtual Size, Number of
Desktops, and Output Grid options if you have Custom Output Grid
selected. All these options are in beryl-settings general section.

It depends on whether you want to run compiz on AIGLX or Xgl. Both have
advantages and disadvantages. compiz used to only work on Xgl. The
current (read: really new) compiz package on openSUSE runs on both, even
with ATI's fglrx driver using Xgl. Beryl runs on both, but AFAIK not at
all with the fglrx driver, and probably not on NVIDIA with Xgl.

No. As I said, NVidia had accelerated indirect OpenGL from day one (the
acrynom AIGLX wasn't even invented back then). There is no option to
deactivate / activate this in the NVidia driver. The option AIGLX will
be ignored.

You need to have Composite activated (section Extensions). But that is
the same for all AIGLX drivers.

AIGLX cannot display GLX content correctly while moving a window. Just

able to do projection, so the windows won't be placed correctly /

I agree. Part of the reason is that people are just spewing names of
components without knowing where they fit in the grand scheme of things.

What I would like to see is a list of which groups of these things work
best together. Something like, Given that you use the nvidia driver,
these are the best components to use:  Or Given that you are using
the XOrg driver, these are the best components to use:   I know
this is a moving target, but at least this could get many people started
with a decent setup. Exploration can happen later.

I think that the many descriptions of how to set this up do not make the
matter more clear. There is too much of an assumption that everyone
knows what the various components are.

You could start an according page on opensuse.org ;-)   (hint, hint)
Probably all pages AIGLX, Xgl, compiz, beryl, etc. should link to that.

Yes, but I've written it multiple times to this mailing list alone, and

The question is rather: Is AIGLX finally capable of showing GLX

Xgl supported GLX from very early on. By principle, Xgl doesn't support
direct rendering (this is a major undertaking), but most people won't
realize, that they are using indirect accelerated rendering.

Q3 e.g. works fine with that.

I think that bug is gone now. If not, file a bug report.

 Xgl only do the window and window framebuffer stuff. all direct rendering is 
 passed directly
 to the OpenGL driver(aka the Nvidia,Ati,Mesa etc driver). Fullscreen openGL 
 apps like Doom3 are
 not affected.

Incorrect. There is no direct rendering with Xgl. There is always
accelerated indirect rendering, though. This is typically only bad for
OpenGL apps that upload lots and lots of textures (e.g. OpenGL backends
of video players).

Right, I forgot something. Xgl needs pbuffers for GL applications to
still work in a composited desktop. Unfortunately, the open source
drivers do not yet support this extension (needs a memory manager
rewrite). This is close to being done now.

 Intel driver or Xgl issue?

Actually, a DRI issue. You may call it driver issue ;)

 (as said AIGLX works fine)

Even if you move the windows to a different location after startup? Even
when rotating the cube then?

I so not strongly disagree with the people, but I find the ability to shade the

If it was not for the Emerald theme, I would be using the standard Compiz.

I agree it might be pivotal in time.
Maybe when we get  real 3D monitors.  

I suspect when it becomes significant it will not be in its current form at
all.  

Once the weight, size, and power requirements are reduced by switching
from monitors to flat panels the dramatic growth in screen real estate will 
take off.  I could see a use for really huge wide, wrap around screens - 40 
inches or more.  

(I just installed a system with dual 20inch flat panels. Gawd is that 
awesome).

Realistically we have not progressed much since the glass teletype days
of green text on a black background.  Now we have black text in a white
background in a grey box.  Oh Joy.

Multiple desktops is a crude but workable solution to the limited screen real 
estate problem.

Big, really big, screens makes more sense.

Putting 4 windows on a rotating cube is a very childish approach.

Depends on the machine - my Nvidia with AIGLX is as usable as without
Beryl (with the exception of window resizing, for some weird reason very
slow).
BUT, my Dell Intel laptop is a no-go for working - but still fine for

Thanks, but from http://en.opensuse.org/Xgl I read:

Direct rendering is active if running glxinfo|grep direct on top of Xorg
(not Xgl!) shows you Yes. On top of Xgl this will always show you
No. Unfortunately, for Xorg having direct rendering is a synonym for
having accelerated graphics, and it is more difficult to detect whether
hardware accleration is available than it is to detect direct rendering.

So my current performance seem to be the best - well - didn't buy the
Dell for its graphics speed.

My home PC, nvidia 6600, rocks with aiglx enabled.

I am just guessing, when you do the initial setup, you can select your
window decorator. The problem is that beryl-manager, for some strange
reason is not launching the beryl-xgl. Thus none of the window decorator
will show up. If you do a reload, beryl-xgl will then run.

It seems to me, it is some kind of configuration issue. I took a user
that has beryl that is running correctly and replaced .beryl/,
.emerald/, .beryl-managerrc, and .recently-used.xbel. The beryl will now
run correctly. It seems that the initialization was not uniformly created.

Re: [opensuse] Beryl and openSUSE 10.2 AMD64 and nVidia

2007-01-05 Thread Tim Gollnik
Am Donnerstag, 4. Januar 2007 14:43 schrieb Martin Mielke:
 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

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=28796hl=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

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.

Cheers

Re: [opensuse] Beryl and openSUSE 10.2 AMD64 and nVidia

2007-01-04 Thread Martin Mielke
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

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).

Don't worry, go ahead, if the world do go bust, we'd still be around to help.

 You need to disable Xgl if using xorg7 and AIGLX. try beryl and
 bery-xgl from shell and see what the output is. You can Control+c to
 kill beryl if you get white screen.

Done, no success.  Beryl-xgl correctly states that I dont have xgl
installed.

Do you have it working on this hardware? And from these sources?
