Compiz vs Beryl and how to install on my computer

[kerrymorgan1]

my system is Amd 64bit 4000+dual core, 256mb 8600gt xxx edition, 2gb DDR2 Ram, 500gb Sata HD i am new to Ubuntu 7.04 but i'm a fast learner and intend on kicking windows for good once i get the hang of it

I follow http://www.robdian.co.uk/content/view/56/27/ it's a wonderful guide to install my drivers for my nvidia 8600gt and appears to be fail proof

i can get the standard cube and wobbly visual options with out any worries what so ever.....
but when i follow other guides for installing Compiz, or beryl i have trouble logging back in. (only a black screen)
i have tried about 6 times to install compiz using different peoples threads

can somebody help me please?
this is a fresh install (i just formatted and installed Ubuntu 7.04 64bit) i haven't installed my drivers yet just incase it's because of my drivers

if you can point me to a thread that could give me a "dummies of dummies guide to installing compiz fusion" that would help out alot

Thankfully you have the nvidia card, ati cards are a nightmare. Anyway, i used the guide in the sticky thread above to setup my new computer's compiz-fusion (8800 series card) and it worked beautifully.

The sticky posts are your friends!

Which part did you use? i've searched that sticky before it fixed a problem i was having with the cube not with Compiz though...... on question can you answer it?
do you have to go system>application>desktop effects and disable the normal (not compiz) effects before you install and enable compiz?

Hi, I was wondering if there's a guide like that for the Nvidia Geforce 7300GS? Thank you, TC! =]

Dont install compiz-fusion with beryl at the same time. Just install one. Trust me, compiz-fusion is way much better than beryl, with so many features..:)
