Dual Video and Beryl??

[silver]

I have a dual head video card. My problem is when I turn Beryl on.

My second screen locks, then my hole system locks up. Except the mouse.

Any one out there who can help me solve this?
I would apreciat it.

Thanks
Ronnie

A little more info, please...

What video card are you using?

What video driver (default open source, or proprietary)?

And how did you set up dual displays (xinerama, merged-fb, twinview)?

It's difficult to help you when we have no info to work with.

[silver]

I'm running a Geforce 6200, (256mb), running Nvidia restricted drivers.

the screens are set up as seperate X screens.

No Xinerama, no Twinview.

Any thing else I can give you to help me.

Here is a copy of my xorg.

I believe you have to use TwinView if you want Beryl. Otherwise 3D acceleration only works on 1 display.

[silver]

Well that didn't get me far.

I ajusted my xorg file to turn twinview on. and It didn't change anything.

Beryl still dosen't do any thing more than it did. Perhapse my ajusting is wrong take a look. Anyone who might be able to help I would apriciate it. I noticed that Compiz is the same, i.e. dosen't work any better than beryl.

here is my changed xorg.
