What do you mean a download sample?

You can install beryl by

sudo aptitude install beryl beryl-manager It doesnt get easier than that !!!

Scroll down the eye candy section of Ubuntuguide, (http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Feisty#Eye_Candy) there is one for Beryl on ATI and Nvidia cards, pick your flavor. Both guides assume you have already installed and configured the graphics drivers of your card. If you haven't, please download and run Envy (http://albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html) to get that working right.

That should do it, its fairly straight forward. ATI users have a bit more work to get it right I think. If you have any problems post back.

Sorry to hijack this thread like this, but starcraft.man, did you ever get your 64bit install going?

Or Maybe the Beryl Wiki (http://wiki.beryl-project.org/wiki/Install_Beryl_on_Ubuntu) will help you, follow to the ATI, NVIDIA or other links based on your video card.

P.S, and jeez starcraft.man, 1800+ posts since March, boy..:p

Ditto on that, all the other "How-to's" and FAQs didn't work for me, but the Ubuntu section of the Beryl Wiki worked perfectly.

No not yet, still having some problems with my new comp... I did finally settle all my Vista problems (you wouldn't believe the trouble I had with that, even got BSoDed a few times) but now I seem to be having sporadic problems with the BIOS, it keeps spontaneously resetting... I'm gonna have to diagnose the problem, then when its fixed I'll give Linux on it a shot.

Pffft, didn't even bust a sweat :p I bet if I really try, I can bust 2 grand before the iPhone hits the world. :D

Edit: Does that make me a spammer? *looks innocent* Oh and nice to see you around again Cypher :).

on a somewhat related note, is there something like envy for other cards, or at least a way to tell if your drivers are properly installed?

by other cards i mean something like a matrox millenium 2
