Hello. Sorry, but the information you provide is not very concrete. It might help if you could start beryl manager from the terminal and post the output:

Start a terminal
Enter:
beryl-manager

Now it should post some messages while starting. Then, in the beryl context menu in item tray, change window manager to beryl. Now you can copy everything that was output in the terminal and copy it to there.

Maybe we can find out something from there...

Beryl crash

Post by dracorX »

Hello

Ok, this output makes it fairly clear, without composite, beryl won't work.

So I now need some indications:

What graphic card do you use?
And did you install a new graphic card driver?

There is a file called xorg.conf , located in /etc/X11

Please also post the content of this file. And then I'll see if I can help you make it working

Hello
Ok, lets get to the bottom of it...

http://www.howtoforge.com/ubuntu_feisty ... 7fc705c7f3&

you must know the chipset version, and you will find out whether the card supports the ability to run beryl

You will find a howto install it there...

However, as a radeon user myself, I have found the information that the proprietary driver doesn't work for beryl (at least for my card).

With the open source driver, however, it runs just fine on my box...
