This is my silly little KDE/Beryl system (Gentoo Linux). It's a bit overwhelming and all for *real* work, so I typically use something like this:

Edit - you might notice that I took much of this from conky.sourceforge.net (they have a screenshot page with links to .conkyrc files and scripts), but that I modified the tcp_portmon sections. I realize that *typically* the higher ports (32768+) are outgoing, and that *typically* the lower ports are incoming, but that seemed a bit senseless to me...I know the damn ports, so I just put them 1-65535 on here...I know that if I see port 22 local, that sshd has been connected to with an *incoming* connection, and if I see port 80 remote that an *outgoing* http connection has been made...I just dropped the incoming/outgoing nonsense because it seemed too restrictive.

 

[mehulved]

Thanks. Yeah I am aware of that sourceforge page on conky, that's where I got my last conkyrc file from. One thing I liked in that was the fetching of headlines from RSS feeds.

 

[rocket357]

^^ Yeah, I used the RSS script for Gentoo Linux Security Advisories...I also toyed around with the GMail script, but I hated having to blur that section of the screen every time I wanted to post a shot...

Long time since tried Compiz on Ubuntu Feisty GNU/Linux,now Compiz-Fusion is the way.the power of 3D and Compositing on GNU/Linux.salutes!

^^How much Ram is needed to run this .. when ever I run berly I get White SCreen Of Death I have 256 MB ram on my system

 

[praka123]

Is running on Compiz-Fusion btwn.
I got a XFX 7300GT 256MB dedicated RAM.it run flawlessly.I think @shashwath -u get hold of some good deal on any NVIDIA graphics card! on Bazaar Section of forum dont buy AMD ATi if u want Linux to run good.
btwn WSOD?LOL

 

[rocket357]

Beryl runs comfortably on my GeForce 6600 GT 256 MB graphics card. System memory might be an issue at 256, but as long as you're capable of direct rendering you should be fine (depending on the distro's RAM requirements...some are upwards of 256 MB, but I doubt any would be higher than that).

Beryl is a TON of eyecandy for the requirements, actually.

Edit -

@praka123:

Don't you just love those water effects?

 

[praka123]

^yup.those rain effect is so cool btwn wiper too btwn i was stuck with a VIA unichrome earlier dr00ling on compiz effects sometime back.I'd say VIA chipset(horrible,terrible,no other words) and ATi gfx cards drivers sucks in GNU/Linux.

I won't purchase another ATI card...they seem to require more "maintenance" than GeForce-based cards, Windows OR Linux (but especially Linux). Last time I upgraded my wife and my computers, I bought nvidia all around. (speaking of which, those 6600's are probably getting a bit "tired"...might be time to upgrade again haha).

What happened to old Mrs. Rocket? I hope u didn't upgraded to a nVidia wife, lolz

 

[infra_red_dude]

.......but as long as you're capable of direct rendering you should be fine

right on the point!!! you need full direct rendering support.

shashwat, if u want simple effects then try the built in desktop-effects (based on older compiz). if u are looking towards compiz fusion wid 256mb ram (system ram) then i'd suggest try beryl wid taxing effects turned off. compiz fusion, imho is a bit slower.

i run compiz fusion on my laptop wid an ati igp 345... since its based on the older generation ati engine, the opensource driver radeon runs just fine. the problem is wid the newer ati cards. if u plan to buy a card now, i'd recommend an nvidia card too. btw, what graphics adaptor do u currently haf?

i haf 512mb main memory out of which 32mb is shared as uma and i find that compiz runs just fine. of corz the settings are tweaked for a balance between performance and eye candy!

hahaha

Mrs. Rocket is fine...her *computer* needed an upgrade! Man I worded that wrong hahaha...that should read:

Last time I upgraded my wife's computer and my computer,...

right on the point!!! you need full direct rendering support.

At the terminal as root run:

glxinfo | grep direct

That'll tell you if you're running direct rendering, Swashwat. If you are (it'll say Direct Rendering: Yes), then you should be fine. Without it, however, no amount of RAM in the world will help you run Beryl smooth because you're running in *software* rendering mode, and that's slow =(

 

[praka123]

I'll say use "glxgears" it can show FPS etc.
