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.

    • The better these AI models get, the more this is going to happen. It's gonna turn into government versus government in regards to using proprietary and unavailable security research models to basically find flaws and vulnerabilities in other governments or companies systems. It's basically turning into a cybersecurity arms race. This is actually a good thing. The better AI gets, the more restricted and expensive it's going to become, making it far less mainstream. This is good 👍
    • Crazy. The government fired everyone who was capable of actually understanding this. More security theater. Just checked it is gone from Claude.
