I need some help with Beryl!

[hempa]

Hi i just installd Beryl according to the instructions from this link

http://wiki.beryl-project.org/index....buntu/Edgy/XGL

Everything has worked out ok until i get to the chapter called: Running Beryl
when i type Beryl-manager in the terminal i just get a blank screen. well not blank its creamy colored with no icons.and i cant get out from that screen.
i have installed fglrx and i have direct rendering, so i dont know what the problem is.
another thing is that when i open adept package manager there is a couple of Beryl packages that is not installed should i install any of those??

And my last question: i have just got automatix bleeder and there is an option there for proprietary drivers for ati graphics cards like my radeon card, and there is also a option for installing beryl. can i install those Ati drivers and then use automatix for instaling Beryl??

ctrl-alt-backspace will take you to the login screen.

I have given up installing it, been doing it for about 2 weeks and cannot get it going properly. I once had the white screen and i could see the cube sort-of as i messed with buttons etc...

Might try again, i'm a glutted for punishment!!!

Ati X1300...

Never mind graphics > i was messing as usual and trying VMware so i can use XP while booted into linux, i and rebooted, could not get beyond Kbu splash screen.

I remembered that i had to remove a previous version of VMware and doing so i think it too xorg out. So silly me... i apt-get install kde, then sudo reboot...

Nothing just the same So i sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg and set it to a vesa config, rebooted and at last i could login **BUT** i have what looks like a fresh install of Kubuntu as all my settings in programs and desktop eye candy have all gone even downloaded wallpaper have gone. Im totally cheesed off with this because i have had tweaked the setup in that many places it will take another 3 weeks to do again and then I'll not have what i had before.

Just looked and have got alot of apps that i did not have before...

MMMmmm think i'll try XP and use VMware for Kubuntu as its easier in windows than this.

EDIT: I had logged in as root from the reconfigure terminal at boot-up, thats why it looked like everything had been wiped.
