Yesterday I update my beryl and after the updates, I turned it off and sleep. And first thing in the morning my wife open my pc for me. And she wakes me up wondering what happen to my desktop and tedent! A fully white display in my screen. Actually my pc continously working but there are thing that I can’t see except the white window(s), white desktop and white shadows.And here are the options on how to get your beryl worked.

• Downgrading your copy of beryl to rc1 ( I still want my new version of beryl rc3 :p kase puro na lang dowgrade, downgrade na nga wp ko pati ba naman beryl downgrade din )
• Change your rendering path from Automatic to Copy / or simply type this command into your terminal ( i tried but was slow thus it hungs my system ) :beryl-xgl --use-copy && emerald
• By changing startxgl.sh from ( I recommend this one ):
  #!/bin/sh/usr/bin/Xgl :1 -fullscreen -ac -br -accel xv:fbo -accel glx:pbuffer &sleep 4
export DISPLAY=:1
cookie=”$(xauth -i nextract - :0 | cut -d ‘ ‘ -f 9)”
xauth -i add :1 . “$cookie”
exec startkde
  to :
  #!/bin/sh/usr/bin/Xgl :0 -fullscreen -ac -br -accel xv:fbo -accel glx:pbuffer &sleep 4
export DISPLAY=:0
cookie=”$(xauth -i nextract - :0 | cut -d ‘ ‘ -f 9)”
xauth -i add :1 . “$cookie”
exec startkde

note : this is based from the error i encountered but it seems that things work properly im not saying that this is the solution if you will still encounter some error feel free to post a comment. thanks to pinsan kinz.
