I realize this is the same problem I ran into when I first installed Beryl and finally got it to work. That time I hade to create a new user to get it work, so I tried to do the same thing now, created a new user - and it worked right away. So the question is, what is causing this? I don't feel like creating a new user every two weeks just cause Beryl refuses to work. Does it have something with KDE to do? All theories are welcome and I will happily try to hopefully find a solution. /phx <div>2007/8/1, Pierre Hansson <<a href="mailto:316097@gmail.com">316097@gmail.com</a>>:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin-top: 0; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 0; margin-left: 0; margin-left: 0.80ex; border-left-color: #cccccc; border-left-width: 1px; border-left-style: solid; padding-left: 1ex"> lsmod | grep fglrx gives no output.

Some video drivers need to be recompiled after a kernel update -- this could be a reason for the problem (beryl tries to start, but it can't use the card so it defaults to KWin). To check if your video card driver is installed, try "lsmod | grep fglrx" (for ati card) or "lsmod | grep nvidia" (for Nvidia) in a console session. If this isn't the problem, then attach your xorg.conf and also try starting beryl-manager in a console and record any error messages.
