Installing Beryl On An Ubuntu Feisty Fawn Desktop With An ATI Radeon Graphic Card - Page 2
On this page
4 Install Beryl
To install Beryl, we open /etc/apt/sources.list and add the line deb http://ubuntu.beryl-project.org feisty main to it:
sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
[...] deb http://ubuntu.beryl-project.org feisty main [...] |
Then we import the GPG key of the Beryl project and update our package database:
wget http://ubuntu.beryl-project.org/[email protected] -O- | sudo apt-key add -
sudo apt-get update
Next, we have to edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf again.
sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Search for the Module section and make sure that it contains the following lines:
Load "dri"
Load "dbe"
Load "glx"
|
For example, my Module section looks like this:
Section "Module"
Load "i2c"
Load "bitmap"
Load "ddc"
Load "dri"
Load "extmod"
Load "freetype"
Load "glx"
Load "int10"
Load "vbe"
Load "dbe"
EndSection
|
We are finished with /etc/X11/xorg.conf now. After all changes, my /etc/X11/xorg.conf looks like this:
# /etc/X11/xorg.conf (xorg X Window System server configuration file)
#
# This file was generated by dexconf, the Debian X Configuration tool, using
# values from the debconf database.
#
# Edit this file with caution, and see the /etc/X11/xorg.conf manual page.
# (Type "man /etc/X11/xorg.conf" at the shell prompt.)
#
# This file is automatically updated on xserver-xorg package upgrades *only*
# if it has not been modified since the last upgrade of the xserver-xorg
# package.
#
# If you have edited this file but would like it to be automatically updated
# again, run the following command:
# sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg

Now we must restart X by pressing Ctrl-Alt-Backspace (or rebooting the system if this doesn't work).
Afterwards, we install Beryl like this:
sudo apt-get install beryl beryl-manager emerald-themes
Next we start Beryl:
beryl-manager
If all goes well, your desktop should now have 3D effects, and you should see the red Beryl gem in the top right corner of your desktop:
If this doesn't work, right-click on the red Beryl gem and choose Select Window Manager > Beryl. Beryl should start then.
