[SOLVED] Froze beryl with xgl

[wallace69]

Hi
I just signed up to the forum & feel pretty stupid right now so i do hope someone can mabey help undo what i`ve just done.
I`ve used beryl for months on dapper,edgy and now feisty without a problem......Until now.
In the beryl menu there is the "rendering platform" section where you can choose from either "automatic,aiglx,force nvidia or xgl".

MInes is usually set to automatic but earlier on(just as i was filling in the rendering question while signing up to here)i was messing about with the choices and foolishy tried the the xgl option which was a very bad mistake.(i KNOW i dont use xgl...doh)
My whole pc just freezes now as soon as i start beryl so i cant even go back into the menu and change it back to automatic(or nvidia/aiglx even).I have to restart X just to get going again and cant find an option for it in the settings config

Is there a terminal command i can use to switch it back or somehting
I use an mx4000 nvidia card on an athlon xp2200 1.81Ghz with 512mb of Ram.

Sorry for being such a plank

Go to a non-graphic screen (CTRL+ALT+F1), and edit (with vi) the file:
[code:710df]~/.beryl-managerrc[/code:710df]
and make it similar to mine:
[code:710df][wm-settings]
active_wm=0
fallback_wm=0
active_dm=0
iconsize=24
use_fallback_wm=true

[beryl-settings]
render_path=1
cow_mode=0
rendering_mode=2
platform=0
binding=0
[/code:710df]

In your case the key line is render_path=1, I think.

Thanks a lot ianni67.

Changing it from 0 to1 didn`t seem to make any differnce so i tried 2 and that worked.
I feel even more of a plank now for not realising the file i actually needed was further down inside my home directory and not in the ".beryl" folder ops:

cheers again
