Beryl +XGL refresh rate problem Nvidia)

[ucsblaw]

I'm running feisty +xgl=beryl. I have the gui for my nvidia settings manager and when i go to it I have no options to choose from. I can't change anything...particularly the refresh rate. The funny thing is that when i log into a gnome session instead of xgl I can change my nvidia settings with no problem and the screen clarity and sharpness is much better...but under gnome my beryl doesnt run well.

I have an nvidia geforce 6400 video card and I'm using a sony vaio vgn-s580.

Currently, I have 2 choices on gnome for refresh rate...50 and 65hz. My understanding is that my optimal refresh rate is 60hz and I want to set it to that but I cant.

Any suggestions?

Nope the optimal refresh rate is what your monitor handles not what beryl handles.

Those are Fine.

Also go to beryl settings and under the general settings uncheck Sync to VBlank

Is there a reason? Are you having problems?

im not having any problems but when i log into gnome session my fonts and windows just seem alot more crisp....but in xgl it seems a little "dark"

also, i was wrong, the two refresh rate choices i have are 50 and 51 (not 65).

the only reason i said 60hz is optimal is because when i run XP my refresh rate is set at 60hz and everything looks great.

oh, and "sync to vblank" is already unchecked....

so now im just at a loss for words, no idea what to do

i do appreciate the help
