[SOLVED] problems with starting beryl/composite

[bolleg]

Hi there,

when I am starting beryl via beryl-magnager, i get a error reading something like "compositemanager crashed twice in one minute ...", if I start beryl via konsole the folowing is happening:

************************************************** ************
* Beryl system compatibility check *
************************************************** ************

Detected xserver : XGL

Checking Display :0.0 ...

Checking for XComposite extension : passed (v0.3)
Checking for XDamage extension : passed
Checking for RandR extension : passed
Checking for XSync extension : passed

beryl: Another composite manager is already running on screen: 0
beryl: No manageable screens found on display :0.0

ideas??? i run suse 10.2, kde and an intel graphic chip 915 GM

regards,

Daniel

ok, I switched all transperancy for kde off, uninstalled compiz and added
Option "Composite" "0"
in the extension section of my xorg.conf - then rebootet the system and it worked

First, make sure you've turned off all KDE translucency in the kde control center (this is under Desktop --> Window Behavior). You *may* have to restart KDE after you do that.

Second, there should be no need to use Xgl on that video card. It can support beryl via AIGLX. On opensuse, I think you can disable Xgl by running 'sudo gnome-xgl-switch --disable-xgl' in a terminal.
