[gentoo-user] aiglx/beryl: xfce, firefox issues

[b.n.]

Hi,
I successfully managed to run AIGLX+Beryl with the following system:

videocard: ati radeon 9200se
xorg: 7.1 (stable, from Portage)
beryl: 0.1.4 (~x86, from Portage)
window decorator: emerald 0.1.4 (~x86, from portage).
xfce: 4.2 (stable, from Portage)

It works mostly OK, but I have two serious issues:

1)I have a Firefox instance on desktop A. I do switch (by clicking on
pager, no cube etc.- cube is not working btw) to desktop B, then again
to desktop A. The firefox window often is no more visible on desktop A,
nor it appears in the Expose plugin. I can see it on the task bar and
click it, but it doesn't apper. I do have to close it and restart it. It
seems other apps do not suffer this problem.

2)The xfce standard pager doesn't show windows in other beryl desktops,
only in the current active desktop.

Where can I look for hints on what's wrong and how to solve it?

Thanks,
m.

Ok, I mostly solved this (it seems) by using svn beryl in the xeffects
overlay.

This is unsolved instead.

Moreover, it seems that the svn does a complete mess when switching
desktops.

I guess beryl is not stable enough for me. :/
