| I tried this and got a warning. gtk warning: can't open display. I use a nvidia geforce 4 Ti 4200 gfx card. I used apt to get beryl and libxcomposite1 after adding kanotixguide.org to my sources.list (http://kanotix.com/PNphpBB2-viewtopic-t-21184.html). Suggestions appreciated. |

| Here's what worked for me: Enter init 3 before installing the Nvidia driver, then init 5 to return to KDE. Launch Konsole and type - as user - beryl-manager |

I did the init 3 before installing driver, and when finished, it dumps back to gui and kde log on. I'll try to run beryl-manager once I log in. Thanks again, ockham

Yes, of course I did.
Here is message, if I type beryl-manager:

** (beryl-manager:12992): WARNING **: Couldn't find a Selection Owner, perhaps no WM running?
Otherwise, manually kill your wm, and report the bug to the developers, it doesn't follow the standards.
Falling back to looking for a defined WM in xlsclients.

After that, KDE don't work right and I have to restart it...
Then I ceated a new user and logged in. Here beryl starts well. Do you know, what I've to change so I can use beryl with my origine user...
PS:
Do you plan to integrate beryl with aixgl as default in final kanotix 2006?
It's the best I ever saw, next to E17 
Yours

tach!
ich hab auf ne frische rc4 den nvidia 9625 (für geforce7600gs) und beryl gepackt - läuft super!
- was im gegensatz zu kwin hackt, sin videos im kaffeine (so kommtz mir vor). mir scheint so, als wäre die framerate etwas niediger - kann man da was tweakn?
- gibtz irgendwo die möglichkeit, die fenster-übersicht von rechts oben bzw links unten, ausschließlich auf links oben zu bringen?
was mich am meisten stört sind die arbeitsflächen. ich hab jetzt immer alle programme aller flächen in der leiste.. manche programme hab ich so konfiguriert, daß sie immer auf bestimmten arbeitsflächen öffnen. das klappt zwar noch, nur sieht man das nicht an der kontrollleiste - unübersichtlich! läßt sich das ändern?
schön wär auch, wenn dabei die abreitsflächen-übersicht in der leiste wieder da wär ..
edit1:
ich vergaß: muß ich mich wegen beryl von superkaramba verabschieden? das theme, das mir nette infos anzeigt, wird als fenster behandelt und beim "alles minimieren" mit minimiert... |

| Just tried creating new user in kde and yes- beryl-aiglx works well all of a sudden. I too would love to know what setting to change in my original user to enable this- as it always gave similiar error as arohrmann. Boing, Boing wobble wobble. |

| what the ** ? sorry piper, i'm the one to excuse. seems like i've mixed up english/german.. your link was quite useful to help me understand the way of the beryl's virtual-desktop behaviour a bit more. |

anyone an idea, how to get the emerald-themes work?
i installed emerald and emerald-themes and the menu opens after klicking the trayicon.. there are also several entries with previews for each theme - but selecting has no effect!
do i still have to do something else to change the emerald-(beryl)-theme?
thanks.. |

Suppose you use the Beryl windowmanager. It should work then. Does here on two boxes (both with nvidia cards). Otherwise no ideas, because it just works here.

oops sure, i use beryl. my machine has an nvidia-card, too. k is a fresh install.
so you didn't do anything more than installing beryl, adding emerald - and by selecting a theme in the menu it changes instantly? when i checked kanos compiz-script, there it was just like that, but here with beryl nothing happens... |

Btw, mit KDE 3.5.5. funktioniert übrigens der "Umschalter zwischen Arbeitsflächen" unter beryl/compiz. |

I test something and if you remove (rename) your /home/xxx/.kde folder, then beryl works fine.
Problem is, you have to reconfigurate your KDE...
If someone knows, which file in folder ~/.kde/ don't want beryl to start - please tell us here...
Yours

| I did find it was i had destop icons swiched off. Turned them back on in kcontrol AND restarted x/kde and then beryl plays nice. I'm sure someone did mention this a while back but i didnt restart kde or x to confirm this worked. This obviously may not be your problem but worth a try. |
