    Unhappy Beryl crashes on cube rotate

    I have a problem with Beryl. Just a few minute ago, it was working fine, but now when I try and rotate the cube, whenever I settle on a surface Beryl crashes. The desktop that I settle on remains slightly unfocused. What can I do? I am running Beryl SVN

    Progress!

    I have swapped Beryl SVN for Beryl 2.0. It now works! I had already tried reinstalling SVN, so does anyone have any idea why that happened?

    All the 3d desktop stuff is beta. You have to expect some bugs.

    Subversion is the latest snapshot of what developers have commited. It is prone to breakage, so you may be better sticking with the 'major' releases. Particularly now that they are remerging Compiz and Beryl, as a lot will change.

    Thanks, I'll remember that in the future. The guide at the opensuse wiki tells you to use the snapshot packages...

    Most probably true on the day it was written.

    Actually the tutorial says in Step 3:

    If you don't want the latest svn snapshot version, and would rather go for a stable Beryl version, then install all packages packages just like above, but without the -snapshot.
    But most important is that you fixed the problem.
