HOWTO: Beryl with latest nvidia drivers and EDGY's built in AIGLX (no XGL)

[PriceChild]

3 Great guides have been ported to the USDF here (http://doc.gwos.org/index.php/BerylOnEdgy)to cover nvidia, intel & ati.

Beryl is beta software and unstable. Be prepared for breakage! - Not for beginners.


Have a look here (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=272104) for other howtos on Beryl & Official Compiz

Go to #ubuntu-effects on irc.freenode.net for support.

Nvidia have released their 9xxx series drivers. In laymans terms, this allows compiz/beryl to now run directly on an x server (xorg7.1) without separate aiglx or xgl.

As far as i understand, you MUST remove all existing xgl/aiglx from your system for this method.

STEP 1: Add repos

Please ensure you have a completely updated pc before continuing:
Install your *ubuntu-desktop metapackage specific to your DE, e.g. sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get dist-upgradeAdd this repo in "system>admin>software sources" or /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://ubuntu.beryl-project.org edgy mainFor the latest beryl. (i386 & 64bit)

Run one of these commands to add lupine's key.
wget http://ubuntu.beryl-project.org/root@lupine.me.uk.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add -Don't forget to sudo apt-get update
STEP 2: Install nvidia drivers

Option 1:

Lupine's repos is now no-longer availiable.
You may use Envy, a Python script that eases installation of the official Nvidia and ATI drivers. Please see http://albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html (http://albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html) (>=9631 driver needed...)

Option2:

If you would prefer to install the nvidia drivers from nvidia's script, you may simply download the NVIDIA drivers from here (http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html), then:

sudo nano /etc/default/linux-restricted-modules-commonMake the last line look likeDISABLED_MODULES="nv"ctrl+x and y to save.

Then
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r` build-essential gcc gcc-3.4 xserver-xorg-dev
sudo apt-get --purge remove nvidia-glx nvidia-settings nvidia-kernel-common
sudo rm /etc/init.d/nvidia-*
sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
sudo sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-9629-pkg1.run
sudo nvidia-xconfig --add-argb-glx-visuals
sudo /etc/init.d/gdm startThe Nvidia script should change your xorg.conf to enable nvidia drivers & compositing.

Remember that following this method requires a reinstillation of them every time the kernel changes.

STEP 3: Install Beryl
sudo apt-get install beryl emerald-themes
STEP 4: Lets Go!

Type beryl-manager into alt+f2 or a terminal and all should work.

I hope this has worked :) If it doesn't then preferably try and get help in the IRC channel first: #ubuntu-effects on irc.freenode.net If your problem gets fixed, then post it below and i'll add it to this main post if important :)

[geearf]

Hey thanks for naming me :)

Also no need to add "end section" :)

[PriceChild]

Changed

[Amaranth]

This guide is broken for about the next 10 minutes, I've wiped the beryl directory to replace it with a repo that has all of these packages in it.

[~LoKe]

Looking forward to it. Thanks. =]

[Amaranth]

Should work again. Repo will be coming soon.

[panickedthumb]

stickying this, I know people will be asking for it.

[~LoKe]

Worked perfectly! No errors or any such problems.

EDIT: Okay, maybe not.

loke@x04d:~$ beryl-settings

[panickedthumb]

hey, anyone have a themes package for emerald themer? The cgwd-themes and cgwd-themes-extras packages could probably be ported, but I can't install them while compiz isn't installed.

[Amaranth]

I manually extracted the themes from cgwd-themes into ~/.emerald/themes. Use file-roller to do it.

[PriceChild]

Haven't tested it... but how about just important themes from gnome-look.org as you see fit?

Will work while we wait for the proper packages :)

[tw1ggy.ramir3z]

I follow this guide step by step. But when I try to "activate" nvidia drivers in xorg.conf and I restart the X server I've got an error say that nvidia moludes are 8774 then nvidia drivers are 9625. What I have to do? :|

[zubrug]

remove all your nvidia drivers and then install the latest

[PriceChild]

On my machine, i'd already installed the "latest" nvidia drivers from method 1: http://doc.gwos.org/index.php/Latest_Nvidia_Dapper

Then i followed the guide.

I think this is your problem.... but then again what do i know :)

[~LoKe]

http://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/1.0-9625/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-9625-pkg1.run

This will download the Beta driver 9625. Once the download is complete, you'll need to close your xserver and run the installer, to do this, save any open applications, then press ctrl+alt+1. At the virtual terminal, login, then type this:
sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
sudo /etc/init.d/kdm stop
sudo sh NVIDIA*.run

Follow the onscreen instructions. It's practically impossible to make the wrong choice, so you should be alright for that part. When it asks you if you would like it to configure your xorg.conf file, choose yes.

[PriceChild]

Yeah I know you can do it that way... but then you've got to remember to reinstall it every time you change your kernel.

With the restricted modules way you don't, Maybe the nvidia driver may appear in the official versions soon... (doubt it... but hope) so you can continue using this method.

[joakim2]

Worked perfectly! No errors or any such problems.

EDIT: Okay, maybe not.

I got this too - any fix for this? The rest worked great!

[tw1ggy.ramir3z]

Ok! Now it works fine! Just a question! Where is the menu's animation? And why beryl setting manager doesn't start? :| Thanks to everyone!

[Amaranth]

You have to restart your computer after installing everything to get the new kernel module. You also have to manually add beryl-manager to your Startup Programs in System->Preferences->Sessions.

[~LoKe]

Any way to get beryl-settings to work?

[Uncle Spellbinder]

Nothing for us poor Intel users yet? :(

[Jason_25]

I have it working with the i810 driver and 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE/PE on an intel motherboard. beryl-settings doesn't work for me either. I'm having trouble with video playback too.

[Uncle Spellbinder]

I'll just wait for the official release announcement at Compiz.net (http://www.compiz.net/forum-9-general-notices)

[xinix]

I'll just wait for the official release announcement at Compiz.net (http://www.compiz.net/forum-9-general-notices)

I'd have to say this is the best post in this thread. Beryl has not been released even as an alpha. What is available is there for developers but not really for use. The code is in a major transition since it's forking from compiz. Some things that don't work might just not work until the code is fixed.

[Amaranth]

Other than a few annoyances (like .cgwdtheme being changed to .emerald) everything still works the same way as compiz-quinn. beryl-settings works fine here. I got that error when I first pullled from SVN but it got fixed quickly.

[~LoKe]

Ah, the ones from the repos work best. Nice.

[panickedthumb]

I too am getting this:
travis@eniac:~$ beryl-settings

** ERROR **: no d_ for a_active_plugins

Use the version from the repos.

[monchichi]

Everything works great.

Thanks for all the effort guys! It all seems well-packaged too... I love the Ubuntu community.. :cool:

[Nais]

Worked perfectly without a hitch. Thanks for all the hard work putting the packages together.

[panickedthumb]

yep, tried the repos, everything is great now. Woo! Amaranth gives us the Gnome menu editor, and now the first packages for nvidia+AIGLX+Beryl :)

I'm more than happy to do the glamourous work. ;)

Heh, actually beryl SVN contains the debian directories used to create the packages, I just changed the version numbers, added --with-system-mesa=yes, and built it. ;)

[philetus]

WOW, what a trip.
I can't believe I got it working.
Very good How-to

[metathran]

Yeah it works for me too but it seems to be very slow compared to Compiz+XGL.
One strange problem that i have, in synpatic my version of xorg is 7.0.22... That's really strange, i thought that xorg 7.1 was implemented in gnome 2.16?
Rah Can't wait for the final version of edgy and for a more advanced version of Beryl ;D

[jocko]

Sorry, this is a little bit off topic...
One strange problem that i have, in synpatic my version of xorg is 7.0.22... That's really strange, i thought that xorg 7.1 was implemented in gnome 2.16?

the version of the package is 7.0.22, but the actual xserver is still 7.1.1.
Run this in a terminal to check:
Xorg -versionDon't know what you mean by 'xorg 7.1 was implemented in gnome 2.16'. xorg is not part of gnome in any way afaik.

[Niamor]

Thanks a lot, worked really well :p

Are you going to upload emerald-themes too, because the default theme doesn't look so good...

[wedderburn]

its working great for me

motion blur + unreal tornament 2004 :D :D

[kashms]

Anybody else got the new nvidia drivers to work on a GeForce4 440 Go (64 MB) card? All I get is a black screen :(

[geearf]

We are not being named anymore :(

Also :

1- please don't say to "apt-get install ubuntu-desktop", users like me using Kubuntu will get lost there, or may do it ... same with Xubuntu users.

2- I believe you can have XGL installed with no problems.

3- We are not using AIGLX here.

[PriceChild]

Geearf i'll change the Howto for your post too :P Sorry :)

You have to restart your computer after installing everything to get the new kernel module. You also have to manually add beryl-manager to your Startup Programs in System->Preferences->Sessions.

Whoops.... changing the howto to reflect this.

[patrickfromspain]

64bit please? :D

[PriceChild]

Lupine_85 is currently working on it ;)

UPDATE

repo added for -8 kernel in first post

[captive]

is anybody here getting troubles trying to logout?
I don't get the logout dialog displayed, screen just freezes.
Anyway logout dialog has to be there, because if i press Esc or a keyboard shortcut used in that dialog, it just works.. :confused:
I remember something similar was happening with earlier versions of xorg compositing...
Any idea? [-o<

[PriceChild]

Yeah i've been having that problem... clicking randomly lets me shutdown.


At the end of the day, this beryl is pre-release, expect a LOT of bugs :)
I'll try and contact Amaranth in order to see if there's updated Beryl we can use.

[captive]

Geearf i'll change the Howto for your post too :P Sorry :)

Whoops.... changing the howto to reflect this.

You don't have to restart.. Just do:


sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
sudo rmmod nvidia
modprobe nvidia
sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart


and it works!

[chrisle]

Hi!

I also have the logout problem. Installing the gnome-session mentioned on IRC ubuntu-xgl from http://beerorkid.com/compiz/pool/aiglx-edgy/g/gnome-session/gnome-session_2.16.0-0ubuntu1.1_i386.deb
did not work.
I also had to remove the .emerald folder to get it working.

By chris.

[captive]

I also had to remove the .emerald folder to get it working.

so removing ".emerald" DID work for you?

[geearf]

Any one knows has to include the yield thing prior to KDM ?

[pecanov]

Anybody else got the new nvidia drivers to work on a GeForce4 440 Go (64 MB) card? All I get is a black screen :(

There is a patch not included in the beta drivers from the site as well as in the repositories. Unfortunatelly I don't remember where did I get it from. Anyway, I keep a patched driver installation if you wan't it.

I think it has something to do with i2c moduled, so try disableing them if you don't want to patch the drivers

[Amaranth]

Any one knows has to include the yield thing prior to KDM ?
The beryl source code contains the stuff needed to build a package for this hack, I'll build it and add it to the repo unless beryl 0.1 comes out today.

[geearf]

Great thank you.

[gabruo]

Beryl works beautifully right out of the repos with no tweaking, except xorg.conf listed in this how to. This is the first time compositing has worked on my old Radeon Mobility 9000! Thank you much!!

[hugmenot]

It works and I guess using a slimmer software stack is preferable, but I noticed that while pure window performance is similar

- OpenGL apps are awfully slow
- playing videos completely freezes the desktop
- the mouse and keyboard are barely decoupled from the rest and become pretty laggy

Is this in line with what others see? Why is AIGLX preferable otherwise when performance is significantly worse than with XGL+GLX?

[Amaranth]

Arg, it's not AIGLX! Anyway, these are driver problems.

[encho]

I works very well, except for video and glx apps (they bring cpu usage to 100%: xorg itself jumps to 40% :( ) Hope they'll fix that soon. Anyway, how do you call this now, it is not xgl or aiglx? In thread's title it said builtin aiglx.

[metathran]

Maybe because beryl is in a very early stage of development ? Or because we use beta driver ?

-PLaying video works (not great but works)
-Almost everything is laggy

But this is a pre alpha pre release and performance will probably be as good as before in the future version...

[captive]

Is this in line with what others see? Why is AIGLX preferable otherwise when performance is significantly worse than with XGL+GLX?

I did not get same issues you had.. Anyway keep in mind we are using a *beta* driver that add support for aiglx for the first time + a beta comp-manager (beryl) at is first release. Experiencing bugs o slowdowns seems to me quite normal..
Aiglx should be preferable because it IS xorg, while xgl is quite a hack, a brand new rewrite of an accelated xserver, that runs over the normal x server so it isn't supposed to be exactly a *slim* app. You won't even be able to use some 3d accelerated software (i.e. tvtime) or games (i.e. cedega) if you run xgl, unless you don't run them in another x (not xgl) session.

[Amaranth]

The thread title is incorrect. :) You can use AIGLX with the nvidia driver and use beryl but it's not required, you can use straight X direct rendering with nvidia's implementation of GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap.

[PriceChild]

I did ask panickedthumb to change the title to "without xgl/aiglx" but he said he wouldn't as aiglx was now built into xorg.

I'm also experiencing poor performance, but its working!

And as soon as beryl gets released properly, everyone will simply be able to change their repositories (same with nvidia card, just updating/re-installing driver)

[~LoKe]

I don't know what everyone's complaining about. It's running pretty damn good on my system, and I have an older card (GeForce4 MX420). Fullscreen DVD's play fine.

[Amaranth]

Packages have been updated to latest SVN. New packages are emerald-themes and libxorg-sched-yield-hack0. Make sure you install these two and then restart X, it helps with performance problems.

[hugmenot]

Anyway, however it’s called (AIGLX hinges on «texture from pixmap», like running beryl directly on Edgy’s Xorg hinges on «tfp», right?) it’s slower and my question is how I can track it down.
1. Beryl is practically Compiz-quinn, renamed. It used to be fast.
2. I would expect instabilities with beta drivers, not necessarily slow-downs because the hardware doesn’t change.
3. What funky hardware features does XGL use, if even through the thicker layers of libraries it provides better performance?
4. When engineering tfp, the nvidia devs must be aware of the best mechanisms/features of the the cards to implement it with. Will performance improve just by finalizing the driver? Unlikely.

Where’s the bottleneck?

[~LoKe]

Seems much better to me! Thanks!

First post updated to reflect this :)

[captive]

new version seems lighter (maybe it's the new icon.. :) )
i still got the logout dialog problem, and another one: ctrl+alt+backspace reboots my pc! it's a "normal" reboot, with usplash showing progress of reboot process, and no other problems.. but i'd like jut reboot xorg on that command, not the entire pc! Is there any setting i'm missing??

[PriceChild]

i still got the logout dialog problem, and another one: ctrl+alt+backspace reboots my pc!

Since the repos were updated i've seen a HUGE performance increase.

ctrl+alt+backspace restarts my x server.... but the quit button problem still exists.

[DeeZiD]

OMG :KS :KS :KS
It works on my old machine (AMD Sempron 2200+, 6600LE).

It is much faster (blurfx is fast as hell! no delay in animation plugin anymore, no delay or stuttering in maximizing windows).
Smooth scrolling in firefox is as fast as in plain Xorg or Windows XP :shock:
No tearing (in xv, OpenGL, cube, wobbly, animation)
antialiasing
anistropic filtering
etc.

For Antialiasing, disabling tearing, anistropic filtering you have to open nvidia-settings and set the options there, then restart beryl and enjoy :o


regards Dennis

[DeeZiD]

:-({|= the quit button doesn't work for me either :(
My screen locks after pressing the button.

Is there another solution?


Edit: Why can't I use 1440x900px widescreenresulution with the newest driver? With the older nvidia driver or the nv driver it is still possible)

Edit2: For choosing nvidia-settings on startup just put "nvidia-settings --load-config-only & beryl-manager" in your startup programs.

regards Dennis

[PriceChild]

64bit repos are now availiable.... for the -8 kernel ONLY

:-({|= the quit button doesn't work for me either :(
My screen locks after pressing the button.

Is there another solution?
Not yet, althoug hte screen isn't locked, press Esc and you will get back to normal :)

I'm shutting down from cl for the time being, or end beryl from the beryl manager.

[DeeZiD]

I found a temporarly solution to the logout problem! :D

Logout fix

1. open "gconf-editor"
2. go to "/apps/panel/global/" and check "upstream_session".
3. logout


Activate beauty

1. open a terminal
2. type "sudo gedit /usr/bin/beauty"
3. put the following lines in it

#!/bin/bash
nvidia-settings --load-config-only & beryl-manager

4. save the file and open a terminal and chmod the script
sudo chmod 755 /usr/bin/beauty
5. open "nvidia-settings" and activate anti-aliasing, anistrop, vsync etc.
6. open "beryl settings manager" from "beryl manager" and uncheck "Detect Refresh Rate" for faster wobbly performance.
7. logout and login again


:cool:

Now if only widescreen resolution would work :confused:


Edit1: Wobbly fix (uncheck "Detect Refresh Rate")

[PriceChild]

That's a good temporary fix for the logout bug.

However, i've already got an nvidia-settings working....

[Abild]

XGL Absent, assuming AIGLX

[ButteBlues]

Did you change your xorg DefaultDepth to 24?

[geearf]

With the new packages, watching a video seems impossible, way to slow :(

The rest of the system looks a little faster though, but still not as fast as pure Kwin.

I can watch videos perfectly :)

My system is as fast as ever.

And for that colour depth question, change it to 24 in your xorg.conf

[geearf]

Hmm, maybe I have missed something then.

[kashms]

There is a patch not included in the beta drivers from the site as well as in the repositories. Unfortunatelly I don't remember where did I get it from. Anyway, I keep a patched driver installation if you wan't it.

I think it has something to do with i2c moduled, so try disableing them if you don't want to patch the drivers

I tried removing the i2c modules but still no luck. It seems the i2c_core depends on the nvidia module anyway. The new driver seem to even turn off the backlight of the screen but I can login if I type my login and password blindly.

If you have a patched driver I would be interested in trying it out.

[panickedthumb]

So just to clarify here, Amaranth, AIGLX is built into X.org in Edgy, but this is not using it at all?

[PriceChild]

So just to clarify here, Amaranth, AIGLX is built into X.org in Edgy, but this is not using it at all?
I thought this is using it!
You couldn't do this on x.org7.0 because it doesn't have aiglx built in?

LOL we're all confused :)... or maybe its just me

[Duf_Sh]

How come every time I try to start Beryl I get a X server restart and have to login again, only to find me staring blindly at Kwin?

I'm running kubuntu on a i810 chipset, and my Xorg.0.log tells me that "(WW) AIGLX: 3D driver claims to not support visual 0x23" (all the way trought 0x32) (see attached file)

[panickedthumb]

I thought this is using it!

That's what I thought as well, but Amaranth and others say that this is bypassing AIGLX.

[DeeZiD]

@PriceChild:
Could you add my information (about logout and vsync, aa etc.) in your howto? :)

Would be nice


Some new information:

1.
High resolutions (1280x1024<) on TFTs with DVI connected seem to be impossible
:-({|=

Solution: Connect with a VGA-cable

2.
You don't need to add the extensions section with composite because composite is on per default since the 8xxx release of the nvidia driver ;)


regards Dennis

[scotty2hott2k]

That's what I thought as well, but Amaranth and others say that this is bypassing AIGLX.


according to an nvidia employee on nvnews (and im understanding him correct) then the nvidia driver has built in support for all the required extensions and so forth which means that aiglx is not needed and compiz uses the driver functions directly.

[geearf]

that's it.

[PriceChild]

[LamestHolio]

Probably a dumb question, but:
These packages will not work on Dapper due to gcc differences? I gave it a go on my dapper install, and get a gcc error when running beryl-start.
(Edgy install was getting stuck on APIC issues)

Have also tried compiling beryl svn and get nothing more than a white screen when launching beryl.

Thanks for correcting or setting me the right way.

Try this.. in your xorg.conf file under Section "Monitor" try changing the horizontal and vertical refresh upper limits to a massive number, like 100.

And then make sure to add "1280x1024" in the SubSection"Display" of your xorg.conf file.. like this example snippit.

You're SOOOOO close i think if you're getting that white screen.

Just check out xorg.conf/aiglx settings.

It only took me a couple of corrections to get the goodness afterwards.

[ButteBlues]

Lamest - If you are an ATI or Intel user, you may need to make a drirc file. Search this forum for "/etc/drirc" for my instructions on what needs doing.

[zubrug]

Anybody else got the new nvidia drivers to work on a GeForce4 440 Go (64 MB) card? All I get is a black screen :(

Yup, I cannot believe it, previous attempts have been a nightmare of trying every hack to get only partial happiness.
This is sweet, clean and smooth with options galore. Could not get the official compiz to look this good.

[rafaelsdmf]

Well my experience was like this: Installed the whole package, and was good, but, as some of you people notice, very slow. I almost couldnt watch any movies at all it was so slow. But after a full reboot ( I was looking for a strange sound inside the case, which turned out to be a broken stab in the fan of the graphic card :( ), the system was on full-on speed. The same as with the XGL thing. The only problem was that it didnt load the window decorator, wich I fixed clicking the option "reload window decorator" in the diamond below. Im really liking this . Congratulations to all for making this happens. I owe you a beer hehe :mrgreen:

Works perfect for me!

[mirak63]

for me beryl is still way slower than metacity, there are to many hangs.

[originof]

And for ATI ??? :confused:

[doelman]

I got the following error:

Anybody who knows what to do? I've used the Nvidia installer script.

rstruijk@ubuntu-knot:~$ XGL Absent, assuming AIGLXthis bit is fine.

I would advise that you reinstall your nvidia drivers, and check your xorg.conf settings.

Yep, i'm quite sure it's a stupid fault of me. I did not use the beta drivers but just the standard. ](*,) Sorry..

You have to sound evil to me, because i've 2years experience with Linux, and this was a stupid fault. It's working now, with the correct beta driver.

Care to share your xorg.conf? Any special options you have to turn on.

here is mine.

[PriceChild]

After the latest update my Beryl broke.

I ended up purging it, restarting, reinstalling, restarting and then attempting to launch beryl from the manager 2 times. It then all worked fine :)

[Melvil]

Where's the beryl-start script? beryl-manager doesn't start emerald.
If I compile beryl from source I get the beryl-start script.

[PriceChild]

Where's the beryl-start script? beryl-manager doesn't start emerald.

Yes i've noticed this from the latest update...

...I'm trying to get in touch with Amaranth right now to find out what's going on... i'm getting a lot more problems than that.... running in a failsafe atm.

64 repo hasn't been upgraded yet :P lupine_85's been nice :P

[Donovan]

Hmmm I got it working perfectly but I have a question:

Why Beryl doesn't have Composite Overlay Window support? Or at least is not activated on the guide. I tried to use Beryl without disabling COW on xorg.conf and still works perfect for me but I'm curious about a --cow option in beryl.

The option exists or not?

The latest updates from Amaranth mean i've had to comment out
Option "DisableGLXRootClipping" "True" in section screen.

This i think enables COW for me and everything now works again... no black screens.

I've added to the howto.

[Richard]

Hi,

Thx for this HowTo.
I got a white screen when i start beryl.
In my xorg.conf I added in Screen section.
Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "True"
Option "DisableGLXRootClipping" "True"

Compiz from cvs works fine.

[PriceChild]

When i got the whitescreen... i checked that i had edited my xorg.conf file correctly.

Please check you've got the lines required in exactly the right place, and then restart your computer (just x may not do it) and check again.

[Richard]

I checked twice my xorg.conf.
After restart computer I always get the whitescreen.
I join my xorg.conf.

Thx

[PriceChild]

maybe try commenting out:

Option "DisableGLXRootClipping" "true"

Then trying again.

[Garyu]

hey, can someone post some screenshots (or links to screenshots) with beryl so I know what it looks like? I tried compiz and I didn't like it that much but it screwed up my Ubuntu. So I don't want to try just to find out it isn't my cup of tea... actually... I will probably wait for a more stable release anyway, but I would still like to see some screenshots. please. :cool:

[Amaranth]

http://www.realistanew.com/random/desktop20060924.png

It, in a word, looks like compiz. Mostly because it _is_ compiz.

[Garyu]

It, in a word, looks like compiz. Mostly because it _is_ compiz.

Nice wallpaper... :cool:

So, the benefits of using this instead of compiz? Will my 3D games perform as expected or be all funky as with compiz running? In other words, is it useful or is it just the kind of eye-candy that will mess up my system more than it is worth?

Beryl is skinnable unlike official compiz, and has half a dozen more pluggins.

Personally, i think it makes my work quicker than a standard DE because for example of features such as scale & switcher which together make choosing apps quicker with mouse gestures, and the bottom panel redundant in gnome.

You can still run games fine with compiz running. If using xgl/compiz, then search for "nonXgl" on the forums for a neat script. If you're using this thread, then games will just run fine automatically!

Pricey

[pomalin]

Official compiz now support metacity themes ;), from the debs of gandalfn and gnome-compiz-manager

[Megatog615]

When I try to start beryl-manager, I get a black screen, like reported. I have tried it with and without Option "DisableGLXRootClipping" "True" commented. Both with the same problem.
It goes black, but the mouse cursor still works as if it wasn't all black.

[Amaranth]

Garyu: If you ever used Compiz without XGL it'll work the same way. If your only experience is with XGL you might be in for a pleasent surprise as far as games.

[Megatog615]

I've gotten games to work with XGL ;). xgame (http://xgame.tlhiv.org/) works well.

[scotty2hott2k]

i tried the quake4 demo as a benchmark (non-scientific mind you ;)), i experience a dramatic loss in fps when compiz was enabled compared to when disabled.

[Uncle Spellbinder]

For those of you who were/are using Compiz Quinn AIGLX and Intel embedded graphics cards. beryl is unbelievably easy to set up.

1) I added these repo from post #1
deb http://dev.realistanew.com/beryl edgy beryl
deb http://beryl-mirror.lupine.me.uk/beryl edgy beryl

2) I did sudo apt-get update

3) sudo apt-get install beryl-core beryl-plugins emerald beryl-settings beryl-manager beryl beryl-dev emerald-themes

4 Compiz was removed and Beryl installed (though I still needed to "completely remove" a few compiz packages via Synaptic).

5) In Sessions > Startup Programs: I removed /usr/bin/compiz-manager and added /usr/bin/beryl-manager



All is working wonderfully. Tweaking settings in Beryl Settings Manager now.

WoooHooooooooo! Sweet!

Thanks PriceChild and Amaranth. And of course...Thanks QUINN for forking Compiz to Beryl.

I get this when trying to run the beryl wm ~$ Window manager warning: Lost connection to the display ':0.0';

Wow...I was wondering what happened last week when I reloaded one of my boxes and Compiz wouldn't install because CGWD wasn't available at the beer or kid repo or its mirrors, and I had to install it from the apt cache on another box...then I found this. Wow. This seems to run much better, though I have to try a couple of times from the Beryl tray icon to get beryl to launch.

Mythtv would always crash my XGL session whenever I would watch liveTV on it...not so with this. Check out Meet The Fockers running on mythfrontend on HD on one side of my cube:

Desktop running MythTV HD (http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h94/hotspoons/snapshot2.png)

However, it seems that most of the time I try to launch something heavy graphical, I end up with a window border and a black interior to the window...this is something that didn't happen in Quinn's Compiz/XGL. Perhaps it has to do with video card memory? I'm running on a GeForce 6600GT w/128 MB @1600x1200. Perhaps it's time to upgrade my video card. Anyhow, this seems to run, despite a few new problems, smoother and more reliably than it did before (I haven't crashed my X session yet), and I can finally have mythTV running on one side of my cube. It would be nice if it could be redirected to the top face of the cube though...hmmm....

BTW, there is no startup script called "start-beryl" included with the .deb packages anymore...however, there is one called "start-beryl-manager", which launches the tray icon, and requires selecting Beryl as the display manager, then clicking reload display manager twice to get it to work...I'm sure this will be only temporary.

[PriceChild]

this is something that didn't happen in Quinn's Compiz/XGL.This is compiz--quinn just under a different name because its forked.

Question:

I keep getting an update notifcation regarding linux-restricted-modules-common since adding the repo and installing beryl. Coincidence? Safe to install?

[lupine_nickt]

OK... I've updated the amd64 repo with the 2006/09/25 CVS packages from Amaranth: To get this working,you seem to need to:=

1) Do the GLXRootClipping thing mentioned above
2) delete ~/.beryl

Yes, seriously. Some setting or another from 09/24 doesn't seem to work well, and you get an unusable desktop. That's why it took me so long to update the repo.


Thanks to amaranth for the solution.


Also note that these packages *still* aren't supported by the devs, so please don't ask them to help you with problems.If you're at all unsure about things like RTFM, DIY and "oh well", the solution is to not use beryl for now.Me and some other users do hang out in #ubuntu-xgl, though, so you could try there if desperate.

EDIT: Some people are still reporting failures with this latest version. If it happens to you, downgrade all the packages to the cvs200060924 revision. Just restore the backup that you made of your ~/.beryl (you did make one, right..?)
, then use adept or something to specify the version you want to downgrade t (you can do it with apt-get, but it's a lot of typing)

It's just the same linux-restricted-modules that Ubuntu already has but updated to include the new nvidia drivers. It won't hurt to install it but you don't need it if you're not using nvidia.

No nvidia here. Any way to stop the update notification short of commenting out the repo?

[mgsfan]

any fix for my problem? the beta drivers are installed and working..so don't know why its not working. ahh nm I forgot to reload it afterwards..its working now

[Amaranth]

You can pin the old package. Otherwise, no.

[mgsfan]

hmm well everything is a tad slower than with xgl..but videos and games work without problems..though I notice I lost my joystick driver so I can't use my logitech gamepad..other than that ..everything is working fine

[Grog140]

When I get everything done and do a beryl-manager to start it everything just goes black and all I can see is my curser. I can rotate the cub and see something though. When I press control + Alt + Down I can see the Logo thing on the top/bottom of the cube.

You must delete all beryl and emerald folders, not just the one in my experience.

[vrunner]

Why thank u thank u thank u ! Beryl is screaming fast with my old GeForce 420 compared to XGL !
Now if only ATI comes up with a new driver, and I could install it on my laptop:-k

Hi I've recently dist-upgraded from dapper to edgy and followed this tut. But after I completed step 4 X or GDM or both refuses to start, instead freezes the computer. I've tried with and without the DisableGLXRootClipping line and it's still the same. Here are my xorg log and my xorg.conf:

[vendetta red]

Thanks for the guide, managed to get it all up and running. Looks sharp.

[huangjiahua]

Works perfect for me!

mine is NVIDIA GF4 MX440.

at first, I got a blackscreen after executed beryl-manager.
after tryed:
sudo apt-get remove *compiz*
sudo apt-get --reinstall install beryl-core beryl-plugins emerald beryl-settings beryl-manager beryl beryl-dev emerald-themes
It works perfect.

[Belibem]

I want to confirm that Beryl works perfectly on an X-800 radeon card and the open source (r300) driver.

[chameleon_789]

I get this when trying to run the beryl wm ~$ Window manager warning: Lost connection to the display ':0.0';
most likely the X server was shut down or you killed/destroyed
the window manager.

moved it to a different spot in the screen section and ran it again..and got this

and at the end of the crash log

Otherwise, manually kill your wm, and report the bug to the developers, it doesn't follow the standards.

I get that error message every time I boot, the only way to get round it is this before running beryl-manager:
sudo apt-get --purge remove libxorg-sched-yield-hack0
sudo apt-get install libxorg-sched-yield-hack0

Every time I boot I have to do that :| Any way of getting round it?

Every time I boot I have to do that :| Any way of getting round it?

Ya, I was getting that too, I ended up getting around it by right-clicking the ruby icon in the notification area and choosing a theme from the Emerald Theme Manager and then choosing Select Window Manager > Beryl from the ruby right-click menu as well.

Seems a theme isn't selected by default, so it doesn't know what to display, thus falling back to metacity. Hopefully that'll work for you.

Hi. Is there a way to use the default compiz theme with beryl, becouse none of the new cgwd stuff appeals to me, and i actually really like the default one :). Excellent guide though, real easy to setup and it works like a charm.

[metathran]

What everybody means in "it works perfect" ! For me yes it works X is not crashing but it's very slow compared to XGL, don't know where the problem come from maybe AIglx, Beryl or the nvidia driver (maybe me, don't know)...

This is the first time since i have installed XGL that i have to switch to the "old" metacity :???: , i hope it will be corrected soon, it's very strange to use an old static interface after using a 3d accelerated desktop :-D

Thanks to everybody for bringing us such a good software 8)

[Amaranth]

Everyone, try putting Option "TripleBuffer" "true"
in the "Device" section in xorg.conf. I used to get 120fps but would drop to 24fps with rain on, with this setting I get 60 fps all the time, rain or not. Someone else who was only getting 25 fps gets 60 fps with this option. It also makes everything feel much snappier. The cube movement is liquid smooth. :)

Hi I've recently dist-upgraded from dapper to edgy and followed this tut. But after I completed step 4 X or GDM or both refuses to start, instead freezes the computer. I've tried with and without the DisableGLXRootClipping line and it's still the same. Here are my xorg log and my xorg.conf:
<SNIP>


I also have this problem. Can anyone help? The nvidia splash doesn't even get a chance to come up. I've tried vga and dvi.
Also maybe someone could just tell me how to roll back to the old nvidia drivers?
I tried commenting out the amarath repo and reinstalling nvidia-glx. That worked but the kernel module was still for 9652 or whatever. PLease and thank you.

Edit - I've been running edgy all along before this for the record.

[gils0040]

I followed the guide exactly and now am getting the blackscreen problem. When i run beryl or beryl-manager the screen goes black except for my mouse and any menus that i select. i have tried purging and reinstalling all of the packages as well as reinstalling the beta drivers using both methods. I am using a 6800 GT on a 1280x1024 DVI display. any help is greatly appreciated.
thanks!

No problem... It was only quick because i happenned to be here at the time :P

Updating a few things in the guide.

If you want quicker support, look for me, Amaranth lupine_85 in the #ubuntu-xgl on freenode.net in particular. However most people there should be able to help.

[scotty2hott2k]

ah, so your lupine :)

[PriceChild]

ah, so your lupine :)Nope, i'm PriceChild.... lupine just wants to be me copying all my hardware.

BTW Amaranth is currently building l-r-m for -10 kernel

[Grog140]

Just a quick clarification question:

Why doesn't this run as well as say...compiz on top of XGL? Is it because it has doesn't have direct access to the video card?

I love the guide by the way, beside a minor black screen issue which I am pretty sure is gone, it works flawlessly. Better than what compiz was too.

[ButteBlues]

Because the drivers are not only Nvidia's first time supporting an extension, but beta as well.

[opera118]

It've been like this from compiz, and still is in beryl: black windows.

Please people, what "black screens" are you talking about? A screen is the entire visible monitor area. For me, certain windows (exluding the border) gets black. Tried epiphany, when making the windows smaller and smaller, after some 'limit' the window got visible again. Resizing around this limits makes the window area black again. Seems like some texture memory limit.

Have had the root clipping option on and off.

GPU is GeForce Go 6600 TE/6200 TE.

[PriceChild]

Latest update include support for -10 kernel.

My performance is a LOT faster than xgl Grog140. Maybe try checking the guide carefully for all the small bits which could make big differences in performance.

[Donovan]

Hmmm... still no solution to the problem of having to start manually beryl from the gem? I want to have kiba-dock as a starting program on my session but without an automatic startup of beryl from beryl-manager (which of course is also at my startup programs) I can't have it :(.... [-(

[PriceChild]

Currently, if you have beryl turned on, it tries to start on boot but crashes out..

its a bug, and will be fixed when the devs get around to it.

Well a quick search from the beryl forum gave me this:
sudo rmmod eeprom
which I did in recovery console and voila! X spring right back to action. However if you restart eeprom will still get loaded and get the same problem so I ended up renaming the eeprom module and now it boots fine. I think this is got to do with the "i2c patch" of the driver which is absent mentioned earlier in this thread.

[daniel2501]

Thanks so much! Worked without a hitch.

When I go to log out with Beryl activated as my window manager its as if the Logout options are invisible

They are still there, I can click around and hit one if I want but its a blind guess.

Not very annoying but I am just looking to see if anyone has experienced anything like this?

[Uncle Spellbinder]

...I am just looking to see if anyone has experienced anything like this?

This issue has been around since at least September 4th with Compiz. This issue seems to have carried over to beryl.

See here: Can no longer shut down computer after update (http://forum.beryl-project.org/topic-3888-can-longer-shut-dow-computer-after-update). Rather lengthy thread at 6 pages, but it covers this issue quite thoroughly.

[mgsfan]

same here but I just switch back to metacity and restart that way

[Amaranth]

That's a bug in the way gnome-session does it's fade out effect.

[Uncle Spellbinder]

One thing I really like is the fact that the blur plugin no longer causes my system to slow to a halt. Speed and usability is about normal. :mrgreen:

[Archville]

Works perfect for me. I'm using PIV 1,7 Ghz and Geforce 6600GT. Even while Edgy Eft, Nvidia drivers and Beryl itself are beta, it seems to be very stable.

What now ROCKS is i can play any opengl game while running beryl and they work exactly the same at AIGLX/Beryl as metacity. (fast)
Latest version (benchmark plugin) is about 180 fps here.

Great work Amaranth, : -)

[scotty2hott2k]

for me games run slower when using compiz/beryl.

[robinl]

What fps are you guys (and girls) getting from the benchmark plugin? I only get something like 14fps and beryl performed worse than compiz-quinn+XGL I had before.

[mgsfan]

only getting 60 fps here..with a 6800 xt

[Jamm0r]

What fps are you guys (and girls) getting from the benchmark plugin? I only get something like 14fps and beryl performed worse than compiz-quinn+XGL I had before.

~130 FPS with vsync disabled, GeForce go 7800gtx.

Games run much (more than 50%) slower, which is to be expected.

Edit: ~170 FPS with the blur plugin disabled.

[encho]

I just wish to thank anyone involved with this howto and, sure, the developers. It is finally working on each three computers I use. The biggest problem was my laptop, I gave up all hope of ever having compiz/beryl on it. It was 256MB intel 855 based and obviously not top of the range. Now thanks to you guys it is working and it is FAST. Never thought that my laptop, without serious upgrade, would have those fancy effects.

Thanks again \\:D/

[tw1ggy.ramir3z]

What resolution can you actually use with the beta nvidia driver? I can use only 800x600 @ 50hz that's right? :confused:

[Paulus]

Not anywhere near as fast as XGL for me.. All I have to do is watch a video and my comp starts chirping at me and my fps drop to 35 from my v-sync of 75fps.

However the standard compiz runs fantastic, I guess thats why Beryl is pre alpha... it's pretty impressive this stuff runs at all on some really low end cards.

[joffe]

Has anyone gotten gmplayer (mplayer) to work? I tried these combinations with the result of mplayer hanging before any graphics shows up. No error messages appears.

Edgy + 1.0-9625 + Xgl + beryl
Edgy + 1.0-9625 + beryl
Edgy + 1.0-9625 + metacity

I'm at work right now so I can't do any further error investigating at the moment.

Sorry for the noob question but there something i should have missed.
Does beryl run with Xgl/Aiglx or does it just use xorg ?

[AndyAWS]

This works great on my modest system:
Celeron 2.6Ghz with 512M ram
NVidia 5200fx pci with 256M ram (That's PCI not AGP or PCI Express.

No noticeable slowdown and the animations all seem pretty smooth.

Where can i found a full beryl documention and explainations on how compiz has been tweaked to work with xorg ?
Basicly i'd like to understand how it works and if it introduces the same bugs than compiz had for example with gdesklets.

Join #beryl-dev on freenode, you can get more help with finding the detection code there. I know it first checks either XGL or AIGLX, then checks for nvidia, then checks for either XGL or AIGLX again (whatever one it didn't check the first time).

Strangness here i come:

Fist of my Laptopdata: Tablett PC TC1100 from HP
Processor: Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 1000MHz
Graphiccard: GeForce4 420 Go 32M (Yeah, such a smal one)

I finally got Xorg and Beryl working and they are somewhat slow...
The benchmark gives a meager 60 Frames.

before the new nvidia XGL (with beryl) rendered something like 120 FPS and did so after the installation of the beta nvidia (right now as i am wirting this mail).

What is more confusing is that gxine makes Firefox crash when loading Quicktime-Movies in Xorg, but not in XGL. I can start "Sauerbraten" and "FrozenBubble" without problems in XGL, but Xorg blank-screens me...

Does anyone also have this stangenes???

[LamestHolio]

How do you run/use the benchmark plugin in beryl?
How do you pronounce beryl?

[pveith]

There is a plugin for this:
beryl-settings plugin Benchmark, set some hotkey an there you go.

(I know this is not a real Benchmark, but it reflects the slagishness of my xorg desktop compared to the XGL one very well.)

[leech]

More than likely that is due to you having Sync to VBlank enabled. It will top out at your current refresh rate. 'Only' 60 fps is plenty, this is NOT a first person shooter. 60 frames per second is the maximum the human eye can detect anyhow, well actually I've heard it's more like 30, either way, 60 is plenty smooth. If I have Sync to VBlank enabled I just shy of 60 (it actually runs at 58.30 to 59.40 or so though it seems every time I type it slows down a frame or two. The slowest it ever gets is around 40fps, when I switch workspaces, with the cube.

Leech

[Amaranth]

Wikipedia says: "An average 17" monitor can reach 85 Hz, meaning that any performance reached by the game over 85 fps is discarded. For that reason it is not uncommon to limit the frame rate to the refresh rate of the monitor in a process called vertical synchronization."

Basically, whatever your monitor's refresh rate is (say 75Hz) anything over that is a waste of processing power. If your refresh rate is 75Hz but beryl runs at 200 fps you actually get a poorer expierence because there is a lot of visible tearing.

[Jamm0r]

Getting close to 400 FPS now with the latest svn code.

[Archville]

Just got an screenshot running Edgy/Aiglx/Beryl with Quake 3, Mplayer and Windows XP (Under VMWare) running with a few apps open.

Your packages just work great :)

[pveith]

The about 60 Frames are enough for me too, but unfortunately the framerate drops here to about 12 frames if i switch Desktop with a terminal with "top" command, an gnome-system-monitor, compiz-benchmark and a firefox with this forum. Not to speak of a running video for this test, which would reduces the switching to a real slideshow (i was short of counting the frames manually). Turning off synch to blank did not help (at least a visible not much).

With XGL much more is possible without a visible framerate drop.

Please check you've followed my guide applying all fixes... such as Triple Buffer.

I'm sure you can manage more :P

[pveith]

Yes i followed your guide step by step and did the triple buffering. I read the thread and tried anyting, which was mentioned and i could even vaguely connect to my problems. Great guide, thanx a lot.

Another interessting thing is that obviously the benchmark plugin feats on CPU-Time. While video and the other apps run like hell while switiching in XGL as soon as i turn on the benchmark switching gets "slow" (about 60 compared to 12 with xorg). Okay untill i get a better laptop, i will continue to use XGL. Nice that it works, but there seems to be a problem here with this hardware.

[PriceChild]

Maybe you could try again when the proper beryl packages get released... it might get sorted for you :)

[pveith]

Can it really be beryl that slows the framerate? Under XGL i use the same beryl and get much better results. I think it is the xorg that makes me slow down.
Additionally there are the occational "blank"-screen with applications, where i have to minimize and then maximize the application to see the content instead ob a black pane. I suspect that 32 Megs is just not enough (from reading the minimum mentioned in the thread was 64 Megs). Has anyone also a 32 Megs Graphikcard?

[Amaranth]

Triple buffering almost certainly uses more video RAM, you probably want to turn it off. The next packages for beryl (coming in about an hour) make things _much_ faster.

[pveith]

I will definitly try it out. Beryl is really cool and your repo makes beryl goodness easy to install. Thanx a lot for your work.

[Dinerty]

I been keeping up to date with this thread and just wondered what are the differences between plugins? e.g. xgl/compiz and beryl?. Are there any more?

Any chance of some screenshots, showing new features?

[scotty2hott2k]

$ gnome-window-decorator &
$ export __GL_YIELD="NOTHING"; compiz --replace --use-cow gconf

this sped my compiz/beryl up considerably, also got rid of all tearing :)

Beryl/compiz--quinn has half a dozen more plugins than official compiz.

You might as well isntall both to see the differences.

[psyke83]

Hi,

Just a note to say that this repository works excellently on my machines using Intel integrated graphics (865G and 945G). All that's different from the main HOWTO is:


Step 2: omit installing nvidia-glx (and possibly the libsched hack), then perform an apt-get upgrade
Ignore Step 4, instead adding to xorg.conf, Section "Device": Option "XAANoOffscreenPixmaps" "true" and at the end of the file: Section "Extensions"
Option "Composite" "true"
EndSection


In Beryl Settings Manager, I recommend leaving the "Slowness Fix" enabled. While it seems to reduce the overall FPS via the benchmark plugin, it makes things more fluid (notably scrolling in applications).

I also recommend that you use the *-xine backend for your favourite player (totem/gstreamer) & use Xv output: *-gstreamer seems to have difficulty displaying Xv output while beryl is active (black output from totem/kaffeine after opening a movie, unless you drag the window and release again). Other output modes such as X11/Xshm work with the advantage that beryl can render their contents, but output quality is inferior compared to Xv.

That's it! Performance is excellent on my systems (on par with the speed of the NVIDIA beta driver & AIGLX, ignoring vsync as it's non-functional for the Intel driver). Give it a try!

Edit: Thanks to Lepto for pointing out a typo, added some recommended settings & video tips.

[totalnewbie]

Triple buffering almost certainly uses more video RAM, you probably want to turn it off. The next packages for beryl (coming in about an hour) make things _much_ faster.

So are the new packages ready?.

Thanks for all the time you put into this.

[markthecarp]

Just reporting a success story. This guide worked for me on the hardware described below. Support on the irc channel is quite helpful.

MSi 7800 (I'll have to crack the case to get the model #)
P4 2.8G
1.5 G RAM
GeForce4 MX 4000 AGP 8x, unknown ram

I do have some issues but running "beryl-manager" from the command line is producing interesting output.

Here's an example.

beryl: 'plane' plugin conflicts with 'cube' plugin
beryl: Can't activate 'plane' plugin due to dependency problems
beryl: water: GL_ARB_fragment_program is missing


Also a right click on the title bar, select Move, it never lets go. That's entertaining ;-)

[lupine_nickt]

Hmm, the move thing does seem to be the case.

Hitting 'Esc' gets you out of the move state, but restores the app to it's original point in space. 'Enter' while in the move state finalises the move properly. Not sure if it's a bug or a feature...

Thanks for the tip, it works. I've run beryl from shell, and it said "gdb: not found" when crashed. Without trailfocus it works fine. I hated that plugin anyway ;)

Also strange thing was happening to my desktop (I am using xfce). When clicking on it, it shifted up and down, making it almost impossible to click an icon. Now it is working fine. :)

[panurge77]

Thank you all SO MUCH for these packages and this thread! Everything just worked perfectly - no problems at all.

I have one problem - I had wobbly menus under Compiz and I can't find the same setting under Beryl.

Also, does anyone have a set of settings to make either Magic Lamp look more like the Genie effect in OS X? Just one curve and a slurp into the menu?

[drummer]

Hah! 70fps with radeon 9250 / AIGLX.. I wanna see what this "runs like on crack" version runs like :p

[Amaranth]

Well, my GeForce Go 7400 only gets 2200 fps in glxgears (not a benchmark, I know) but I get up to 270 fps in beryl's benchmark tool if I turn sync to vblank off.

[Archville]

That's kinda strange, because i get like 1100/1300 fps on glxgears:

5808 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1161.313 FPS
6201 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1239.924 FPS

I also have vsync turned off. When enabled it goes down to 75 fps on beryl (as 75 is my monitor refresh rate). When disabled 800/900 with an average of 600/700 if Quake 3 or other heavy apps are open.

¿ Maybe some configuration parameter ?

For a few days, I have not been able to get windows decorations I don't really know why, I tried different themes but I cannot get theme, though I can move them and close / minimize / resize them with the 3 buttons on the top right corner. But theses buttons are like invisible ...

If you have any idea I'll be glad.

Though it's much faster now I think.

What happened to expose?

F12 doesn't do the expose thingy anymore.

[scotty2hott2k]

mouse to top right corner of the screen.

[PriceChild]

hanzoman i think you need to use a default colour depth of 24 instead of 32

whoops... it is that way.

Same here with the black windows.

I don't get it.

I got that from the compiz forums and it worked here

[chameleon_789]

So.. is beryl faster with xgl or aiglx? What's the difference?

[Fr3eMaN]

ok, i tried
sudo modprobe nvidia
sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart with no changing, same error like before.
i removed the nvidia driver and the restricted modules and so one, then i reinstalled them. I got a new :mrgreen: error message that the version of nvidia driver and the version of the nvidia kernel module is different (nvidia driver 1.0.9626+2.6.17.5-6 | Nvidia kernel module 1.0.8774). But i think i've installed the right version of restricted modules. Or is it possible that the 2.6.17-10-386 Kernel does not support the beryl packets?
Thank's for help

edit: when i boot with the 2.6.17-10-386
kernel and tries to enter the Xserver , i get a black screen with no return, the keyboard does not react....with 2.6.17-9-386 Kernel i get the written error message
