   Using your git repository I have installed Xorg 7.1 Beryl 0.1.2 on my laptop. it works wonderfully with the Nvidia 1.0-9629 driver. Thanks a lot

   Hello,

   I tried the experimental Xorg ports last saturday: everything seems to build fine, but beryl fails with a horrible:

   XGL Absent, checking for NVIDIA
   Nvidia Absent, assuming AIGLX
   Assertion failed: (c->xlib.lock), function xcb_xlib_unlock, file xcb_xlib.c, line 50.

   ** (beryl-manager:6668): WARNING **: Beryl caught deadly signal 6

   I launched it form beryl-manager under gnome2; hardware: intel 855GME, aiglx enabled.
   Would you advice investigating that problem on the mailing list, or just wait until everything is in the main port tree, and retry it than ?

   Regards,

   Felix

   Update your git repo with `git-pull origin xorg’ and `portupgrade -f libX11’.

   That should do the trick.

   (was sick for a few days…)
   Still trying to run beryl on freebsd:
   I Updated everything: as you said, the libX11 error seems to be fixed; but now I’m getting:

   XGL Absent, checking for NVIDIA
   Nvidia Absent, assuming AIGLX
   /libexec/ld-elf.so.1: /usr/X11R6/lib/dri/i915_dri.so: Undefined symbol “posix_memalign”
   xinit: connection to X server lost.

   I tried recompile and upgrade dri, but no changes.

   Any further ideas ?

   Thanks for your work, and for your help !

   Felix: Update your git repo and rebuild graphics/dri. Should be alright now.

   Thanks a lot: it’s working now … although this is not very useful under freebsd yet, since beryl is VERY slow, compared to gentoo, for an example. Is that due to a mis-configuration ? to the *bsd architecture, or to still experimental Modular Xorg/Beryl ports ?

   Anyway: thanks you again.

   There should be no reason why it would be much slower. Double check your config. AFAIR, it just needs DRI working (check Xorg.0.log) and AIGLX/XAANoOffscreenPixmaps Options activated. Be sure to use 24 as color depth as well.

   Great work !

   I installed on my Opteron 165 GeForce 6600 with Nvidia driver
   (http://www.nvidia.com/object/nzone_downloads_freebsd_display_x86_1.0-9742.html) and it works great with KDE.

   Keep up the great work !

    I got it working with the latest xorg (7.3 rc3) and beta nvidia drivers (9742) on a 7300GS

    I had a problem with it being real slow, as in seconds per frame instead of frames per second. I had this problem with the latest stable nvidia drivers as well. I ended up patching beryl with a the following patch: http://nullkey.ath.cx/~stuff/misc/nvidia-always-paint-screen.patch
    This patch is actually for a newer version of beryl so you need to modify the code yourself. It basically does a full screen redraw instead of partial. It will probably have a negative effect on slower cards but I must say it runs very smooth on a 7300GS

    Thanks for all the effort

    I’m trying to run Beryl on Freebsd 6.2 It doesn’t work properly.
    I’ve got NVIDIA GeForce Go 7300 with 9746 driver version/
    When I run it in KDE, it even doesn’t appear on the screen. And when I’m trying to run it in Gnome, Beryl slows awfully. I tried to run beryl from linux livecd on this machine and it worked very good without any problem. Another opengl applications works okay
