Hi,

I use beryl on my computer and did not compile a thing to get it working. Check out this site http://wiki.beryl-project.org/wiki/Install_Beryl_on_Ubuntu for instructions on how to get it running.

Ubuntu 6.10 (Edgy Eft)

* Graphic Card Drivers
* Install Beryl on Ubuntu Edgy with XGL
* Install Beryl on Ubuntu Edgy with AIGLX
* Install Beryl on Ubuntu Edgy with nVidia (1.9xxx or higher)
* Install Beryl on Ubuntu Edgy with XGL and ATI (Automatic installation)

Hi,

You will want the aiglx option but you will also need to make sure that your graphics card is configured.

before you do you need to make sure that your card supports direct rendering. to do that follow below step.

glxinfo|grep -i 'direct rendering'
direct rendering: Yes

if the output is not yes then you will need to configure your graphics card. To find out what type of graphics card you have do the below step.

/sbin/lspci

then look through the list to find out what graphics card you have and look in the graphics drivers page on the beryl site for configuring your graphics card.

Hi,

You should not have any problems from what I can see your setup should work out of the box.

go here http://wiki.beryl-project.org/wiki/Install_Beryl_on_Ubuntu_Edgy_with_AIGLX and follow the instructions.
