dear lord there's a ton of settings

I told you its kinda daunting!! Just fiddle around and stuff don't worry you won't break anything. The only nausiance I got from playing around is that windows don't focus anymore, I get an error and it just stays in the background. A bit of googling solved it

 

Buy on AliExpress.com

Sorry can't help ya there

Would it be as easy as apt-get?

It would, except I have an ATI card *expletitive deleted* and it could very well be a show stopper. I imagine there are ways around it but I'm not to keen on hacking myself there if the standard install doesn't work.

PS. Never buy ATI cards.

Well the whole project has advanced hugely in the past year or so, just compare the desktop I posted back then and the one I just posted. It was hell back then, your windows borders suddenly disappear, slowdowns crashes and no fallback window manager

I installed Beryl once, lasted 2 minutes on my system

 

[Martin]

I soon realized beryl don't work out the box cause ATI is a bitch, so I have to install xgl in place of xorg. Thought so.

Slowed down ur pc? or just buggy?

I experienced Beryl twice, one on my bros pc and now, it ran smoothly.

All this ATI, Nvidia BS is kinda confusing me. So in order to get the best out of these cards I should install XGL? or is it with Beryl only??

I couldn't find out if it were buggy but it sure slowed down my PC.

Rule: Binary only drivers = baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad

Nvidia, ATI = only binary drivers

Nvidia drivers = decent

ATI drivers = crap

Ps. It actually works w000t. Have to figure out how to start it up tho.

 

[Rami]

locate beryl ?

 

[Martin]

locate beryl ?

something like:

1. start xgl
2. start beryl wm
3. start kde without crashing because wm alreay running

Hacked together something real quick here, but starting up beryl-manager seems to crash it, have to investigate

Actually installing xgl/beryl wasn't that bad though, expected worse.

Probably explains why I couldn't get Command & Conquer 3 going for my lil bro'.

Now if you could only convince Jack

Beryl is a must for a Linux evangelist, trust me I know
