Hi,

I tried to get Beryl to work on -CURRENT since 2 months now.
Since Xorg runs fine from the beginning, beryl was only a pain: it was
awfully slow and unusable (I use the nVidia driver).

I tried this night to rebuild all ports from 0, and got everything to
work, here some notices:

* libxcb seems to have 2 silly dependencies: it needs doxygen and
graphviz. Problem: doxygen needs tmake, which needs qt, which needs
libX11... which needs libxcb :p I got a fantastical loop while building
the ports... removing doxygen and graphviz as dependencies solves the
problem for me and let libxcb build.
* I build Xorg with WITH_XCB=3Dyes, it runs just like a charm until
now... can it be enabled by default?
* My beryl problem: after the rebuild, beryl don't run better... I
found following patch in the comments from flz@'s blog:
http://nullkey.ath.cx/~stuff/misc/nvidia-always-paint-screen.patch
(from
http://blog.xbsd.org/2006/11/24/beryl-ports-hit-the-experimental-xorg-tree/=
#comments)
After applying the patch, beryl runs fine... could it be included in
the port? Note that beryl seems to run without this patch on -STABLE
and Linux, but I couldn't test it...
