Can u elaborate these steps more in detail.

whats dapper and breezy.

Is breezy = Ubuntu 5.10 , dapper = 6.06 and edgy = 6.10

I have an Ati based card.

Also what exactly is Automatix.

also are these effects shown in the video built in beryl or one has to download

and install them seperately.
 
all these effects are built in to beryl

but to get some very new beta plugins like video capture

u have to use the SVN snapshot(devlopment version)

i will write a small how to this weekend as to how to do this.

u are right abt dapper and edgy

automatix is an installer sort of thing for linux, it downloads and installs most of the things.

Having an ATI based card may be a bit of problem but its not impossible to intall beryl there are many users who are using it with ATI cards.

I have a 6600gt tough
 
Why is beryl a problem with Ati , also is compiz the same as beryl as i have heard that compiz works with ati cards.

Also is there any automatix for FC5 and FC6 or any similar software.
 
Ati is not a problem

just that we have to install XGL since it doesnt support AIglx

so some extra work to do

thats it
 
Xwinwrap

this is not a beryl plugin but when used along with beryl adds more eyecandy to the desktop.

with Xwinwrap we can use any video or opengl screensaver as the desktop ( Dreamscapes in vista :tongue: )

this is slightly longer video when compared to others

YouTube - Xwinwrap wth beryl

Hey, how exactly to use the cube effect? Here's what I get with ctrl+Alt+Mouse1



How can I zoom out and see the entire cube?

Edit: Got it :P :ashamed:
 
Could someone please provide the download links to these beryl plugins like the Wall plugin, burn effect plugin etc.

I wasn't able to find the download link for these...
 
dude i dunno abt suse but for ubuntu u get them via svn repositories
if u can find svn repository for suse then u can get them
 
actually i tried searching the Suse repos but couldn't find it.

Beryl site should have the plugin download links but i couldn't find them :(
 
plugins dont come seperately

they come in three packages.

1) Beryl-plugins-- these are officially supported by beryl.
2) Beryl-extra-plugins
3) Beryl-unsupported-plugins.

last two are not officially supported.

so there are no seperate packages for each effect.
