[praka123]

^^ did u saw a red diamond icon on top right of gnome-panel?if yes beryl is launched.you need to theme it with emerald theme
edit Pls verify that the line:
Option "XAANoOffscreenPixmaps" "true"

is on the section device:

Section "Device"
	Identifier	"Intel Corporation 945G Integrated Graphics Controller"
	Driver		"i810"
	BusID		"PCI:0:2:0"
[U][B]       Option   "XAANoOffscreenPixmaps"   "true"[/B][/U]
EndSection

yes diamond is on top rite side

do i have 2 add it manually ?
Option "XAANoOffscreenPixmaps" "true"

coz its not in xorg.conf

@nach:
seems beryl is loaded.but you needs a theme for beryl.
try:

~$sudo apt-get update &&  apt-get install emerald emeral-themes

after this,try right clicking beryl-manger(diamond icon) and try reloading Window manager and WIndow decorator.Also make sure that the Select Window Decorator>Standard Beryl
Option "XAANoOffscreenPixmaps" "true"
Yes you must need that line in ur section device .see my post above.just check

 

[nach p]

yes added line in section device
given ~$sudo apt-get update && apt-get install emerald emeral-themes
reloaded both Window manager and WIndow decorater and
standard beryl under window decorator .

so what should I do?
is whole process completed or what ?

 

[praka123]

^^ Did u see any difference?at the window borders?smooth GFX?try hold pressing CTRL+ALT+left mouse key clicked on the screen and try moving the mouse=any 3d effects?

make sure u have selected beryl decorator by right clicking the beryl icon on right top of gnome panel scroll down>Select Window decorator>beryl use left mouse click to select.

 

[nach p]

nah no smooth borders,gfx etc.
same as running Gnome.
Select Window decorator>beryl
already done.

when select window manager ->beryl
screen flickers 3-4 times and option Metacity gets selected.

I think I will go for Ubuntu 6.10 or Suse 10.2 .

 

[praka123]

the kernel version u use is 2.6.15 na?depends on ur luck.
@nach:you need to restart to confirm whether beryl works or not.as i assume u just now only added the option in /etc/X11/xorg.conf:

Section "Device"
	Identifier	"Intel Corporation 945G Integrated Graphics Controller"
	Driver		"i810"
	BusID		"PCI:0:2:0"
[U]       Option   "XAANoOffscreenPixmaps"   "true"[/U]
EndSection

just audit ur /etc/X11/xorg.conf for everything OK and restart

 

[nach p]

yup its 2.6.15
restarted but still no effects
anyway thnx for lettin me try beryl .

Which one should I download suse 10.2 or Ubuntu 6.10

and hey have u changed u r id ?Is it was Prakash Kerla .....?

 

[praka123]

yeah,your distro seems to be a little old;but u may be able to achieve the effects-it needs to be sortout-what is wrong with DRI pkg with dapper-upgrading to a kernel gr8er than 2.6.15 like 2.6.17 i believe definitely help
:If u want a Beryl distribution there is a ubuntu derived beryl distro:
UBERYL
another option:
ubuntu ultimate edition-i feel apt and dpkg are better for Linux pkg management-so Debian based distros.no distro trollingtry it
@nach:yes i changed my uid 2 praka123:*www.productivitytalk.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/hiding.gif I PMed fatbeing to do the change

 

[nach p]

how can I upgrade existing Kernel

 

[praka123]

search in menu Desktop>administration>synaptic package manager for linux-image.xx or for older distros kernel-image

 

[nach p]

better I will download Ubuntu 6.10.

THnx again 2 all of u guys .

 

[nach p]
