Beryl + XGL on Ubuntu in 3 clicks or less

May 27, 2007 by dragon_788.

I just reinstalled my “server” machine with Ubuntu and after having a few issues with too many disks in the system I have a stable system and most of my favorite apps. I’ve grown used to having Beryl and all its pretty effects that can also enhance productivity at my fingertips. Thinking it was as simple as installing a few packages I forgot that I’d probably hafta change my driver and the settings on it slightly. After that first abortive attempt I searched Google for “beryl ubuntu feisty” and wham-O the first two results were exactly what I was looking for. Since I have an nVidia card I chose the 2nd one linked here. It allowed me to copy and paste a few lines and run them and after the X server restart I was golden and using Beryl. Now to tweak it the way I like it….
