Beryl crashes X server if I move mouse or press a key!


DRI and AIGLX working properly (AFAIK)

Hardware: Compaq Presario P3-833 w/integrated i810e graphics. 128Megs system ram. I try to allocate upto 16megs to the graphics card but I don't know how much is being utilised or how to check.

Software: Gentoo kernel 2.6.18-r2, KDE, Xorg 7.1, compiled with i8x0 DRM and DRI driver support

Initially, I installed Beryl via the gentoo-wiki pages. Switched to kdm for a gui login and tried logging in. Got the Beryl splash screen fading in and out with the wobbly rounded rectangle (sometimes, the screen was all white, other times, it looked normal), but it would crash the server before the splash screen faded out completely.

So, I decided to login via console. did startx and got into kde. opened up konsole and ran "beryl-manager"

This time, beryl loaded up with the splash screen fading in and out (background went black and win-deco blanked out while it initialised but the damn thing finally loaded) and I got the default theme with the transparent windeco and the menu drop-shadow.

As long as I didn't press any key or mouse button, or move the mouse to touch any dialog-boxes on the screen, it was fine. As soon as I pressed a key or touched an icon/menu-button with the mouse, X server crashed with a sig-11. No debug info, just a backtrace with:

0: X(xf86SinHandler+0x88)
1: /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so


I got only the following warnings in Xorg.0.log when I checked it:

A bunch of "AIGLX: 3D driver claims to not support visual 0xXX"

When I check my glxinfo, libGL warns "3D driver claims to not support visual 0x4b". When I loaded up beryl-manager, I get the following message in the konsole:

XGL Absent, checking for NVIDIA
Nvidia Absent, assuming AIGLX
libGL warning: 3D driver claims to not support visual 0x4b
beryl: No stencil buffer. Clipping fo transformed windows is not going to be correct when screen is transformed
Initiating splash
beryl: water: GL_ARB_fragment_program is missing


If anyone can help, I would really be grateful. This is just driving me insane. I thought i810 was supported perfectly. I'm probably overlooking something really stupid, huh?

Thanks for the help guys!
