[opensuse] Beryl
I am beginning to experiment with beryl (1.4) on opensuse 10.2. It seems that fo some users, adding the beryl-manager in the gnome session will invoke beyrl-xgl. In other users, it will not be invoked at all. The effect is that the window borders will not appear. The work around is to add beryl-xgl to the gnome session manager. I would like to know if there are some configuration files that I need to adjust to make it work properly. In addition in opensuse 10.2, I noticed that it leaves a lot of running process after you close down. One of the things is the dbus-daemon and gnome-vfs-daemon. Is this suppose to be normal in the operation. -- Joseph Loo [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[opensuse] Beryl
Anyone got Beryl with AIGLX on Intel 945GM working on 10.1? Ive installed and updated from http://software.opensuse.org/download/X11:/XGL/SUSE_Linux_10.1/(for Beryl stuff) and http://software.opensuse.org/download/xorg7/Java_Sun-Java-1.5_SUSE_Linux_10.1/ (for latest xorg stuff, weird dir name?) I get Beryl to startup, splash-screen and then just white screen. Cube works, but everything is just white. Lots of howtos, but none working so far.

[opensuse] Beryl
I just finished an evaluation of Beryl, Emerald and XGL on my Suse 10.2 system and I have to say that Vista has nothing special in comparison. What a desktop enhancement! Now, having said that, I have to report that I removed it all from the computer because of the extra overhead that it requires and because I personally do not need or want many of the bells and whistles that are provided. So, to summarize, it is really nice eye candy but it made my system slow down because I don't have gobs of memory.

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. -- Joseph Loo [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

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.

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.

The question is rather: Is AIGLX finally capable of showing GLX applications correctly? Last time I tried it didn't. 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.

This is typically only bad for OpenGL apps that upload lots and lots of textures (e.g. OpenGL backends of video players).

NVIDIA had accelerated indirect rendering (guess what AIGLX stands for) almost since day one (say: 5 years ago or more). The AIGLX framework is *only* used by open source drivers as we speak. NVIDIA has implemented EXT_pixmap_from_texture as well, which enables compiz - just like the AIGLX and Xgl do as well. The NVIDIA implementation obviously works very well together with OpenGL and XVideo - though there are still some rough edges. Can everybody please stop distributing this FUD any further?

Wrong > statements don't get right by repeating them over and over... 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. -- Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems / Ramböll RST Ramböll Sverige AB Kapellgränd 7 P.O.

Well - partially. It just shouldn't be called AIGLX (this sentence is explicitly stating that is not the same as AIGLX as Xorg calls it). Correcting it. Reads now: Since Xorg 7.x, composite effects can be used without Xgl and simply an nVidia card. This uses nVidia's implementation of EXT_pixmap_from_texture, not the one from Xorg's inbuilt/optional AIGLX or from Xgl. > Well, this page is quite confusing, at least for me.

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).

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?

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" Now it works. Great! Thank you Tim 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. pgpYdMW6xo0xz.pgp Description: PGP signature

Ok, i know. But it could have been a difference between the unmodified xorg from opensuse/10.2 and the newer xorg from xorg72/, that's what i both tried. > >> -- > > > > >#Load "v4l" > > > > Now it works.

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??

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: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

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!
