FWIW, beryl is currently broken on my nVidia machines as well. I understand perfectly what you mean, but let me summarize how things work, people work on that kind of stuff because of interest and/or money.

Your best bet is to ask xorg developers. --=20 Florent Thoumie flz@FreeBSD.org FreeBSD Committer --------------enig16DABF74D99C57FCAD9F8C13 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (FreeBSD) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFGAoroMxEkbVFH3PQRCk1kAJwOz/c7QeBJ28GkawTbFjFfNzXxBwCfRKU2 AsDFqtDv1SC8Rf98GMOe0vA= =wtkP -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enig16DABF74D99C57FCAD9F8C13--
