    I am using a nvidia 64mb GeForce4 MX 4000 video card. Earlier today it was working great, I made the mistake of trying to add 64mb shared motherboard display and screwed everything up

    any help would be greatly appreciated

    Re: help with beryl

    Assuming you have made no other changes that would change xorg.conf, you could open a root konsole and change into /etc/X11 and rename the existing xorg.conf to say, xorg.conf_bad

    Then copy the xorg.conf.1 file to xorg.conf and restart X. This is assuming that the xorg.conf.1 contains the working setttings before you 'messed' it up?

      Re: help with beryl

      I am still using this reinstall of kubuntu but I just can't get beryl up and running right

      I am not sure but I may even be missing a package (I went through them quickly) ,I have no reload window decorator or select window decorator available (they are non-selectable on the beryl menu) makes me think ,because when it was working correctly those options were available

      once again any help will be greatly appreciated!

        Re: help with beryl

        If I recall there was a whole bunch of... ahem... stuff I had to do to the xorg.conf to get the windows decos to work right. Also, don't forget to install Aquamarine so Beryl can use your KDE theme. Here's mine so you can compare.

            Re: help with beryl

            Section "Device"
            Identifier "nVidia Corporation NV18 [GeForce4 MX 4000]"
            Driver "nv"
            Try changing to:
            Code:
            Section "Device"
  Identifier  "nVidia Corporation NV18 [GeForce4 MX 4000]"
  Driver   "nvidia"
            Then restart xserver.
            Beryl should work.

                  What about
                  Code:
                  Option "AIGLX" "true"
                  in the section "server layout"?
