This is a sequential setup designed for anyone with an ATI Radeon Series graphics card and wants to use XGL with BERYL on a fresh EDGY install!
Download the script file and follow the on screen guide.
How does this script work?
Since this is my first time making a linux script =), I could not completely automate the setup but is still worth the effort to use. This script will download all nessasary packages, and install your ATI driver for you.
It will not add the nessasary lines for you, but I have executed each step to open the needed config files to be edited. Once you edit the file save and close it, it will move to the next step.
Please let me know how it works for you, if you know how to beter this setup script please do so and show me your changes. Hope this works as well as it did for me on a fresh install of Edgy.
Shall we begin?
Download and save the script on your Desktop.
Execute it by typing in your terminal:
sudo sh ./ssfuxba.sh
Add these to lines at the bottom of your sources.list
Step 1.
deb http://download.tuxfamily.org/3v1deb edgy beryl-svn
deb-src http://download.tuxfamily.org/3v1deb edgy beryl-svn
Step 2.
Unmark your universe and multi-universe repositories!
Save and close the window.
Step 3.
Add these lines at the bottom of your xorg.conf file:
Section "Extensions"
Option "Composite" "0"
EndSection
Save and close the window.
Step 4.
Add the line "fglrx" in your restricted modules.
DISABLED_MODULES="fglrx"
Save and close the window.
Step 5.
Add the line in the script for XGL to load on the startup:
#!/bin/sh
# Start up Xgl and GNOME
# Run Xgl server on :1, on top of normal X
Xgl :1 -fullscreen -ac -accel xv -accel glx:pbuffer &
# Tell subsequent X programs to access the Xgl server at :1
DISPLAY=:1
# Start GNOME
exec gnome-session
Save and close the window.
Your system will now force a reboot unless you ctrl-c to stop it, come back to complete the final steps!!
Final Step!
Add beryl-manager in your startup:
add "beryl-manager" in startup programs (System -> Preferences -> Sessions).
Also, should add "gnome-settings-daemon" in startup programs too (following the beryl entry").
Also to stop the slow animation effect when loading your browser:
run in termial gconf-editor
sudo gconf-editor
under apps>panel>default_setup>global>enable_animations uncheck it.
Done!
Let me know how it went!
Peace!
