I got a Nvidia 7600GS and tried to start beryl. But it just crashes the Xserver. Well anyways I am downloading Sabayon Live CD which i read has XGL/AIGLX enabled. Let's see how it goes.
Will experiment with ubuntu again later on.

Well I got a new SMPS yesterday and got AIGLX running today. Though it only works as root for now.

Beryl is really eating up my system. I want to use this but it makes this super slow. My system : intel 2.66 GHz processor, Intel 945 mobo, 1GB DDR2 RAM. Direct rendering is enabled. This is required so thet i can boast about linux to my friends. But it makes my system crash all the time. Processor runs at 100% all the time. I am using ubuntu 6.10 Linux mint 2.0 distro.

Try updating beryl!

 

[baccilus]

It's already updated.

 

[QwertyManiac]

Get to terminal (home folder) and try a rm -R .beryl . and see if it eases something. It just deletes the beryl-settings you've made and sets it back to default once you restart beryl.

Thanks Maniac. This seems to have got better.
