HOWTO: Beryl with latest nvidia drivers and EDGY's built in AIGLX (no XGL)
3 Great guides have been ported to the USDF here to cover nvidia, intel & ati. Beryl is beta software and unstable. Be prepared for breakage! - Not for beginners. Have a look here for other howtos on Beryl & Official Compiz Go to #ubuntu-effects on irc.freenode.net for support. Nvidia have released their 9xxx series drivers. In laymans terms, this allows compiz/beryl to now run directly on an x server (xorg7.1) without separate aiglx or xgl. As far as i understand, you MUST remove all existing xgl/aiglx from your system for this method. STEP 1: Add repos Please ensure you have a completely updated pc before continuing: Code:
Install your *ubuntu-desktop metapackage specific to your DE, e.g. sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade sudo apt-get dist-upgrade Code:
deb http://ubuntu.beryl-project.org edgy main Run one of these commands to add lupine's key. Code:
wget http://ubuntu.beryl-project.org/root@lupine.me.uk.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add - Code:
sudo apt-get update STEP 2: Install nvidia drivers Option 1: Lupine's repos is now no-longer availiable. You may use Envy, a Python script that eases installation of the official Nvidia and ATI drivers. Please see http://albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html (>=9631 driver needed...) Option2: If you would prefer to install the nvidia drivers from nvidia's script, you may simply download the NVIDIA drivers from here, then: Code:
sudo nano /etc/default/linux-restricted-modules-common Code:
DISABLED_MODULES="nv" Then Code:
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r` build-essential gcc gcc-3.4 xserver-xorg-dev sudo apt-get --purge remove nvidia-glx nvidia-settings nvidia-kernel-common sudo rm /etc/init.d/nvidia-* sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop sudo sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-9629-pkg1.run sudo nvidia-xconfig --add-argb-glx-visuals sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start Remember that following this method requires a reinstillation of them every time the kernel changes. STEP 3: Install Beryl Code:
sudo apt-get install beryl emerald-themes STEP 4: Lets Go! Type beryl-manager into alt+f2 or a terminal and all should work. I hope this has worked

Re: HOWTO: Beryl with latest nvidia drivers
This guide is broken for about the next 10 minutes, I've wiped the beryl directory to replace it with a repo that has all of these packages in it.

Re: HOWTO: Beryl with latest nvidia drivers
hey, anyone have a themes package for emerald themer? The cgwd-themes and cgwd-themes-extras packages could probably be ported, but I can't install them while compiz isn't installed.

Re: HOWTO: Beryl with latest nvidia drivers
I manually extracted the themes from cgwd-themes into ~/.emerald/themes. Use file-roller to do it.
