AIGLX, beryl and twinview on Xorg server

bugger · 11-14-06, 04:41 PM

I try to run AIGLX ontwinview screens with beryl on Xorg 7.1 (debian edge AMD64, 6200TC). Whenever I start the beryl-manager Xorg server crashs and I am back to the login screen of gdm.
Has anyone had any success getting it up and running?

Yes. You might have more luck getting an answer by posting the nvidia-bug-report.log file (like I did).

Geforce4 TI4200, and I'm also trying to get Beryl to run under Ubuntu Edgy (on i386). Log file attached. Every GLX program (glxinfo, glxgears, ...) segfaults, and starting "beryl-manager" crashes the X server.

Please help, if anybody can.

Thanks!

This is a known bug in 1.0-9629 which is specific to NV2x GPUs, and will be resolved in the next driver release. You'll need to downgrade to an older driver as a workaround.

Thanks,

cheers netllama. Version 1.0-9626 beta or Version 1.0-8* ?

Correct.

Thank you!

Can you give a rough ETA for the next driver release? Days, weeks, or months?
If the next release is just a week away I'll wait ...
