problems with beryl! kde and xgl seem ok though

[holr]

Hi,

im running the mandria one 2007 with much success, i have ati drivers installed (the fglrx ones) from the repositories at easyurpmi. I added the easyurpmi repositories for mandriva 2007 official (not cooker).

 

I have been trying to get beryl working, the alternative to compiz, running on top of Xgl. I have followed the instructions on www.beryl-project.org and added the backports for main and contrib.

 

Beryl has installed fine, and i can run "beryl-manager" from the command line to get the red gem icon in the system tray area.

 

However, when I try to change the manager to beryl, i get the followingL

$ QFont::setPointSize: Point size <= 0 (-3)

 

** (beryl-manager:5766): CRITICAL **: can't execute beryl-xgl: Success

 

** (beryl-manager:5766): CRITICAL **: can't execute beryl-xgl: Success

** (beryl-manager:5766): CRITICAL **: can't execute beryl-xgl: Success

 

** (beryl-manager:5766): CRITICAL **: can't execute beryl-xgl: Success

 

and these critical messages just keep on going and going. I have it set to fallback to kwin (yup, im running kde) which it does so, so at least i have window decorations. The default compiz still works, but I am interested in beryl as it has some really cool features (i did try it before from cooker, but cooker caused some issues in upgrading other packages!)

 

thanks for any help!
