Re: linux, it isnt working for me... help maybe?

beryl seems to be working...
but no screen borders..
that may jsut be something in beryl i need to change..

Hmmm, worked for me... I'm sure you probably restarted X after editing your xorg.conf (logout alt-ctrl-backspace) but that's the only thing I can think of...
lemme search the ubuntu forums to see if I forgot anything
EDIT
also do this...
emerald --replace in a console that should fix it

mi loev you long tiem
lol
this is great
the thing you said to do in your edit...
it worked...
YEAHH
umm.. i closed konsole..
and the bar for the top.. kinda dissapeared..
instead of it just going to the top of the screen, its ust blank there...
?

Ummm, if your running beryl from the command line something is wrong,
I have a big red gem icon on my desktop & in my systray for beryl. If I switch
from beryl mgr back to KDE mgr sometimes it hoses my start bar... I just right
click the desktop & logout, then log back in.. also FYI I can't play open-GL
games or watch movies full screen with beryl mgr running, they don't like
each other,,,, I just drop back to regular KDE mgr when I do that.

I'd back up, uninstall all the beryl/emerald stuff using adept, then goto
the beryl wiki page & reinstall beryl as per their instructions. Beryl will add
its own icons when installed correctly. Leave your xorg.conf like it is & do the
emerald --replace after you get beryl reinstalled

Re: linux, it isnt working for me... help maybe?

ummm not sure.... you should be able to read your win partitions just fine,
I see other issues about writing to ntfs partitions in other posts... I don't
have personal experience with this because I don't have a dual-boot box...
looking thru the forums for a solution for you tho

Right click on the package and use kubuntu packagemanager to install. It took 5min from download to have it configured the way I wanted it.

Glad everything else works.
