Well, you can try removing your beryl settings ('mv $HOME/.beryl $HOME/.beryl.orig') and restarting beryl to see if that makes a difference. That will reset all your settings to the defaults.

However, I've only heard of this happening with older radeon cards with less than 64 megs of RAM, so I'm guessing it's either a driver issue, or simply a problem of not having enough video RAM. I have a laptop at home with a 1st generation radeon. It has beryl working fine now, and I have it setup to dedicate 64 megs of system RAM to the GPU. I'll change that to 32 in the bios when I get home and see if I run into the same problem.

thanks,
Well it diden't work and i still have the white titlebar
i'm wondering if i can change my xorg.conf in someway to stop this????
or do i need to go out and buy a ati 64mb vid card???

[adamk]

Well, again, I don't know that it really is related to video card memory. That's just a thought. I should be able to confirm that in about 7-8 hours :-)

Adam

[tj_243]

k thanks

[adamk]

Well, I set the amount of RAM for the GPU to 32 megs, and started up beryl. No problems launching 4 terminals and maximizing them all... But I'm only running at 1024x768, so it's going to eat up less RAM than yours when you're running at 1280x1024.

If you set your resolution to 1024x768 in the xorg.conf file and restart X do you still get the white title bar problem?

Adam

[tj_243]

i don't know how to do that??
kind of a noob with ubuntu
do i do it in the system > Preferences Menu

(what would i edit in my xorg.conf)

[Jupiter]

i've read of this problem on ubuntu with an intel and ati cards
you may want to try and insert "XAANoOffscreenPixmaps" in
xorg.conf and see if that fixes it.

Nice catch, Jupiter. I can't believe I didn't notice that.

thanks adam,,, not often i see something you didn't already know

[tj_243]

lol,
i found the fix
i tried your one Jupiter (it helped but diden't work)
so i read on and i found this fix:

You Will Need To Create A New File to do this hit ALT+F2 the Run APP Will open
then enter this command "gksudo gedit /etc/drirc" (with out the ") and it will pop-up with a new blank page (a new gedit page) and enter the command: <option name="allow_large_textures" value="2" /> then save the file (Click Save Or CTRL+S) Then Run Beryl And The Window Mode Should Be Beryl if not then change it to beryl then it will work

But The Computer Now Run's Slower And The Movement For The 3-D Cube is so slow does anyone know how to fix that

if i understand this correctly,,, you just increased your texture size capabilty on a
Ati Radeon 7000 with ONLY 32mb of ram....uhh yea it's gonna be slowwww.......LOL

make sure you have vsync enabled
make sure you have mtrr in your bios "if any" set to "discrete"
make sure you turn off all plugins you absolutely DON'T use
