Beryl not loading properly... Was working, now not

AntidoteSqrd · 06-07-2007, 05:40 PM

I'm running the KDE desktop environment, and I had Beryl setup and all was working perfectly with fun wobbly windows and the cube, etc... Now I restarted and I run the beryl-manager command and nothing happens. I've tried refreshing the windows manager, but all that happens is I get the default KDE environment. What can I do to fix this? What's wrong in the first place?

Did you select Beryl as the window manager? If you haven't the setting is in the Beryl Manager menu.

Wow, I feel dumb. Thanks.

Does anyone else have this problem with Beryl? It seems that if I have more than three windows open all subsequent windows are black. Is there a way to fix this?

Also, everytime Beryl starts my desktop is black. If I click "Reload Window Manager" it usally fixes itself and I can then see my desktop background. This morning I had to do this 4-5 times.

You need to post some specific information like what video card you're using and how your xorg.conf is set up.
