Re: Getting strange error messages

You've got a couple of different issues going there -- should all be fixable.

First, on the console errors, it's because of the default xorg.conf setup which includes wacom (Tablet PC) configuration information that is obviously not applicable to your system. If you look at the xorg.conf that I'm posting, you will observe 3 lines commented out in the "ServerLayout" stanza, and then the corresponding 3 stanzas of "stylus", "eraser", and "cursor" all commented out .

OK, about Beryl. Are you using the new nvidia-glx driver from the repos, or did you install your own? I use a GeF 7900GS, so I'm not sure whether your 7600GT is a card that can use the new driver or not -- do you know? If not, you'll have to use the -9631 (if I'm remembering that version number correctly), until such time as they patch up the new nvidia-glx to support a few more card models.

I think your Beryl problem is due, in part at least, to lack of composite being enabled. Look at the very last stanza of my xorg.conf

Code:

Section  "Extensions"

-- you need that to run Beryl. I will post my xorg.conf, generated by nvidia-xconfig (with glx and composite enabled), and you can check whether you want to install the new nvidia-glx package, or go to Nvidia's site and get -9631 and use their installer. There's also a lot on the Ubuntu Forums on this particular situation (cards supported only up to -9631). Here's my xorg.conf:

Code:

Re: Getting strange error messages

As dibl's config file has, you may need to add the following to the end of your xorg.conf:

Code:

Section "Extensions"
   Option "Composite" "Enable"
