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 I’m trying to run Beryl on Freebsd 6.2 It doesn’t work properly.

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

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 ! Great work !

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.

Is that due to a mis-configuration ? to the *bsd architecture, or to still experimental Modular Xorg/Beryl ports ? Anyway: thanks you again.

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

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 (was sick for a few days…)
