I had beryl installed and working with edgy. Decided to do a fresh install of feisty and have yet to get beryl to work. My hardware hasn't changed from the edgy install. What I've done so far:
I've installed the nvidia-glx-legacy driver from repositories as I think that is what is needed for my card as it is a geforce4. I can get it istalled and get the nvidia splash screen to come up with reboot so I think it installs correctly as it doesn't crash the xserver. When I install beryl it wont work with an error message from console:
extension glx missing, screen 0.0 is not a valid glx screen or something of that nature. I've scoured the forum and the beryl wiki and tried numerous fixes.
1. doing a sudo nvidia-xconfig add ''' ''' ''' ''' can't remember the whole line but I get a message "command not found"
2. manually edit xorg adding the Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "True"
and Section "Extensions"
Option "Composite" "Enable"
EndSection
still get the same error message.
3. tried the envy script for feisty, after fixing dependencies and getting it installed, crashes the x server.
4. tried directly from the nvidia web site, downloaded the 1.0 97xx legacy driver with error message that I need the 1.0 96xx legacy driver. Downloaded that driver, had to resolve a few dependencies, got it installed, crashes the xserver on reboot.
5. tried automatix which is what worked for me on edgy, got error messages that the nvidia-glx-legacy conflicts with the nvidia-glx-new driver or some sort but neither of them were installed at that time as the other steps had removed replaced, etc the drivers.
6. I've done 3 fresh installs and started over.
7. haven't tried a fresh install using the automatix yet, next attempt.
8. I've had it partially working using the envy script, had the 3d desktop working but the window borders were missing and at times the whole computer would freeze requiring a hard reboot. The composite enable option was present in the xorg file as well as the addargvisiual """""" line was also present.
9. following the 123 script from the beryl website also doesn't work as it crashes the xserver as well.
The only driver I can get installed to work is the nvidia-glx-legacy driver but I get the glx extension is missing. Apparently, the nvidia-xconfig downloaded from the repositories doesn't support commands to add this.
Can anybody help? How do you add the glx extension the the xorg file or wherever it is required.
BTW, the envy script that partially worked gave this error message:

Any suggestions...I'm about ready to pull the plug on beryl at this point.
