Beryl + exclude apps [solved]

[ac_dispatcher]

Hi all

 

I just loaded up PClinuxOS and Im enjoying it so far. Everything works nice. PClinux runs Beryl so I fired that up and it all works real well.

 

The problem I have is when my TV tuner card came in the mail today - I installed it and loaded the drivers & such - got a garbled screen in kdetv and tvtime with good sound. On a hunch I disabled beryl and both programs worked with no isses. Turn on beryl and the screens go garbled again.

 

Anyway to exclude kdetv or tvtime from the beryl 3d effects?

 

I did a google search and the only thing I could come up with was:

 

DISPLAY=:0 kdetv

 

but that runs kdetv with no WM (sucky).

 

Any ideas?

Change the output of your tv program. I can't remember specifics and I don't know where the options are for these two programs, but there should be an option for video output that lists X11, Xv, and possibly a few others. Try them all out, one of them is likely to work (it seems to be program-dependent, some programs work fine with X11 in beryl, others you have to use Xv).

Yea I looked for that - couldnt find one. I ended up switching back to a single monitor. The reason for that was beryl native mode (not Xgl) would only work single monitor. After that the TV programs worked great.
