Would people recommend my putting Beryl onto a pentium 4 laptop running at 1.73 ghz with 1 gig of ram or is it not needed? It looks pretty and all that but is it worth the frills?

You also need an actual graphics card, not integrated. If you have one then its up to you. I like it mainly because of the expose-like features and its desktops. Also the transparency is very nice. Basically all of the aspects that make it macesque.

What if I have an ATI card?

Here

actually you dont need a graphics card, just Xorg 7.1 or later. You can use integrated intel graphics. If you use ATI, i feel sorry for you (drivers are sucky so getting Beryl to work will not be fun...)

However with an actual graphics card it would be faster. Integrated graphics would be pretty slow.

AIGLX is surprisingly fast. XGL is actually incredibly slow and requires direct rendering. Really, the best bet is NVidia (but they have their own bugs). So really I would recommend AIGLX. Its really fast (maybe not with blur turned on but thats scheduled for some speed improvements soon....)

I have a problem. I installed Ubuntu 6.10 on my laptop and I used the Nvidia install guide suggested above, but when i use beryl i lose my title bars (with minimize, maxumixe, close) on all my windows. If i want to get them back i need to select the Gnome window manager. Anyway have any help? Ive tried uninstalling then reinstalling both Beryl and the Nvidia drivers. The graphics card in this is a 6600 GO connected through PCI-E. Its a fresh install, and im very new to linux, so i wouldn't be too surprised if i missed something basic.

ive been trying for weeks to get this to work, and these two guides are what did it for me:

http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Edgy#Ho...er_.28NVIDIA.29

Really from this first guide, all i did was followed the link to install and run the envy script for my nvidia card

and then i followed this guide exactly:

http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Edgy#Ho...LX_.28Nvidia.29

And everything is running perfectly!

Im running on an nvidia geforce2 mx400 64mb ddr by the way, and it runs great, no complaints.

rusn fast as anything on this PC, with an integrated graphics

There is no beryl. Only Compiz-fusion.

(beryl has been merged back into the main compiz tree)

That is my understanding as well, but it is a bit confusing.

Back when I was playing with Ubuntu a few months back, I got it running on my ATi X1200 integrated card. It took me several hours over the course of a few days though and trying many, many different things read on several forums. Really made me want to have nothing to do with Linux :p. Unfortunately I don't remember what I did to finally get it working.

    • All it does is use the CPU more efficiently during boot to speed up boot times. That's it. Yawn....
    • It's not a one or the other kind of thing. Software should run efficiently, and the operating system should appropriately manage the CPU clocks. You could have the best most optimized software on earth, and it will still run faster if the CPU does a better job of boosting as needed. All this is doing is pre-boosting the CPU based on user actions, instead of waiting for the normal detection mechanism to kick in. If the OS knows it is about to need more CPU, why shouldn't it use that knowledge? It's the same idea of downshifting before passing someone, instead of just burying your foot into the peddle and waiting for the transmission to figure out what you want to do.

    • There really isn't anything magical about the low latency profile, other OS's do this as well. All they're doing is using your CPUs boost clock options in a more smarter way.
    • So we shouldn't have the option because of people using their laptops on battery? OK? LOL
