Try backing up ~/.beryl (or if you use GConf for settings, delete /apps/beryl/plugins/cube in gconf-editor).

A possible solution is to add "x11" to COMAN_REQUIRES in beryl-manager/configure.ac. You will need a correct /usr/lib/pkgconfig/x11.pc though... > > 3.) commented out aquamarine > > 4.) Yesterday's patch needs a bit of attention, but that's not a big deal: > beryl-plugins/src/Makefile.am cannot be patched, it fails, but it's 20 secs > of hand-editing the Makefile.am makes it. Yeah, some files were added to the Makefile after the patch was made, so it doesn't apply correctly there. > What are the differences between yesterday's patch and today's .try2 patch? > Is it worth an other recompilation? > Functionally, the only difference is that patterns used by the state plugin are now case-insensitive. However, all of the code was previously LGPL or GPL and has been replaced with versions under the MIT licence so that it could be added to Compiz, which is also MIT. (Beryl is GPL). > thanks for the great work! Thanks for your feedback! I expect the changes to be integrated into Beryl and Compiz soon. I'm looking at some other issues right now (GL_EXT_framebuffer_object detection might be broken). -Albert
