hello to everyone, I have intalled beryl at my opensuse 10.2 and at first it worked just fine!! two days ago i did a mistake and tried to play with xgl settings so i opened xgl settings and enabled the compiz and the beryl i also add a repository for opensuse and pressed the install buton for opensuse (wich is under the repository) i installed gconf and enabled copmiz with gconf(i didn't really know what i was doing) afterwards i restarted because everything froze and when i logged in again when the beryl started there was only a white screen(beryl starts automatically) i went on the xglsetings again and disabled compiz-gconf and restarted my compiuter and then it was only a black screen (when beryl started) the cube is working fine!!!but with black screens i went on the xgl settings and disaled everything but the window manager where only mentaity compiz (not working but the screen doesn't go away) and kwin. while i was looking on the internet i read at the beryl forum from a guy with the same problem that i need to delete the file in /home/accountname/.config/autostart i did it but when i try to log in as user(where the problem take affect) all are same(black screen) and also when i log in as root and go to /home/accountname/.config/ the autostart file still exist!!!!! if anyone knows please help!!!

It reappears because The /home/accountname/.config directory is read and rewritten with each start up.

I have deleted that whole directory to get back to standard display manager behaviour. (In both home and root
on different occasions)

Cheers, Glenn

I deleted all the .config directory but when i logout and login as user beryl auto started and the white screen appeared. when i logged on as root again(to write this message) i went again on the .configur directory and all was deleted except from the autostart!!!!

Use the search function here at LQ to find posts that relate, eg "beryl white screen (of death)", Most distros have very similar xorg configurations.

I haven't used suse, so I am no expert here.

No sweat!

Please post back here with a resolution, that will complete this post and will help others who use the search function.

Thank you, Glenn

I think i fixed it but i had to go at /etc/X11/xgl.conf and edit at the file i am truly sorry but i don't know exactly what to add because i found the solution from some number of sites but i also found that-> http://forum.beryl-project.org/viewt...30e3c26#p32971
and also that -> http://forum.beryl-project.org/viewt...2&p=5664#p5664
i hope i helped someone that had had the same problem with me an also i would like to say special thanks to LQ and Glennspref for all the help!!!!
p.s. just to let all know when i resolved the white screen problem i had some major beryl problems (not loading the user account,not reloading window manager,crashing all the time e.t.c.) I have an acer with AMD turion x2 1024 of RAM and NVIDIA 6100 and my os is opensuse 10.2 I mention all these because i read at the official site that i should use beryl with Rendering path=copy Rendering platform=XGL but with these my computer crashed so i put everything in auto and all are ok. hope i helped

Great Job. I also had xgl set to auto for as while, but now it is off.

New versions for beryl have arrived and I think those help files were for an older version.

Anyway, I'm using mandriva 2007.1 spring, And I could not be sure suse handled the files in the same manner or held them in the same place. So I tried to get you to where you could help yourself.

Regards, Glenn
