Hi, I thought I'd try out the upcoming xorg a bit early and have installed xorg 7.2 from the git repository. All seems good and openbox and xfce4 run happily as do all my normal apps. Because of this I thought I'd give beryl a whirl even though i've see a few issues with it come up on here about the intel i810 driver and beryl. My issue seems to be different though. I started beryl from .xinitrc with a content of: xterm & beryl In the hope this would be simple enough that it wouldnt cause problems and I could then start anything else i needed (panels etc) from the xterm. What actually happened was that X started and then beryl started, I never actually saw the xterm. Once in X/beryl the cube seemed to be there and I could rotate it via the mouse or via the keyboard but i couldnt actually start any programs. This seemed relatively positive though so I ctl-alt-backspace out of Xwindows and got the following error. error: [drm:pid1254:drm_close] *ERROR* can't find authenticator After this trying to start X gives: (WW) I810: No matching Device section for instance (BusID PCI:0:2:1) found (EE) I810(0): [dri] DRIScreenInit failed. Disabling DRI. (EE) AIGLX: Screen 0 is not DRI capable MIT-SHM extension disabled due to lack of kernel support XFree86-Bigfont extension local-client optimization disabled due to lack of shared memory support in the kernel and trying to start beryl once X has started gives the traditional white screens (ie software rendering as far as i can tell.) Rebooting and restarting X removes these errors, I then tried starting beryl-manager from vanilla X and an xterminal, and got beryl up with an xterminal on screen. However the keyboard didnt seem to respond until i middle clicked (to see the pretty cube rotate ;) at which point all of my typing seemed to happen at once. This was replicateable. I tried starting up xfce4-panel but this never seemed to initialise, Killing off beryl worked and didnt cause the dri error and let the xfce4-panel start but of course beryl is still unusable. I dont suppose that anyone has come across this and found a solution? I'm running todays 7-CURRENT, and uptodate with ports from git as of this morning. I'm loading agp as a module and letting X load the drm.ko and i915.ko for drm. regards, Vince
