Yeh Fedora 6 has it pre-configured as well. I'm still on Kubuntu and will stick with that as my OS of choice and am keeping my fingers crossed that the Gutsy Gibbon (7.04) will have it enabled. ATI has some good open source drivers but Nvidia is much better when it comes to supporting OpenGL I think I have a CD of that somewhere around here. Yeh Fedora 6 has it pre-configured as well.

It comes with Beryl pre-configured and you can try it out if when at the login, you choose 3d desktop...or however it's stated. ;-) http://linuxtracker.org/torrents-details.php?id=3861 http://www.mepis.org/mirrors ;-) btw, you should try out the live CD of Mepis (My OS of choice).

So far, no issues whatsoever. It's an integrated video card, so that could make the difference... I thot ATI was better supported then Nvidia....

I actually have to load up XGL first as a session in Xorg before I can load Compiz, and Beryl at present just crashes continually. I'm looking forward to the two groups coming together as I think it will only enhance the experience and tools available. I guess we'll see how long it lasts.

Loads of fun and actually as you say, very practical. ;-) I always used the multiple desktops, but this adds to it. I’ve been running Beryl for some time now!
