Beryl- Remove the Black Screen of Death

After installing Beryl, when you open a new window, sometimes it appears all black, which is very frustrating.
Here it’s two easy steps on how to deal with this bug with NVidia graphic cards.

1) To handle this, you must install beryl manager
sudo apt-get install beryl-manager
(this line is for Ubuntu, it can change depending your distro and your package manager)

2) Right-click on the beryl-manager tray icon
Advanced Beryl Options/ Rendering Path / Copy

And it works perfectly.
It can affect performances, but with a NVidia 6600GT, no differences, except there is no more Black Screen

This option “Advanced Beryl Options/ Rendering Path / Copy”,
slow down a lot the rendering process.

#1 Great

#2 As I said in the blog it can affect the performances, but I don’t know how, why and when.
Sorry, better luck next time

Hey, thanks a lot, I have been having this problem, but not in a way that a lot of sites where addressing. This saved me from adding an unneeded xorg line and tackling a problem that wasn’t what I was having, but sounded a lot alike. Good work.
