Beryl problems on fedora 6

[cranky]

Hi, I have a fedora core 6, I installed beryl from fedora repositories, the problem is, the beryl-manager starts, but the window border disappears. Even if i choose compiz window manager it doesn't change.

Which graphics adaptor do you have? And did you make the required changes in /etc/X11/xorg.conf?

[cranky]

Thanx for replying. What changes do I have to make xorg.conf?
The lspci|grep VGA output is as shown:
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device (rev 03)

PS: I don't have any nVidia card

OK just checked the beryl wiki it says no extra configuration is needed for Intel cards.
I am doubtful if 845 based cards work.
See if DRI is enabled
glxinfo | grep direct
Also, type
beryl in the terminal and see what error it gives.

one doubt regarding Beryl, there is a Super Button for shortcuts - which button is it any way?? i am running opensuse 10.2

Super is the logo of that 'Super OS' that comes on many keyboards these days.

Problem solved!! Now, this may be obvious but I didn't know :D

.......Previously I was just starting beryl-manager

ya, now you have to make sure that beryl starts every time you switch on the system, else it you have to do your invention every time :D

If you are using Gnome Go to Control Center>Sessions>Startup Programs (this is the 3rd Tab)

There you have to add:
berly-manager
berly

that's it...

KDE don't know can't say

For KDE you can either
1) Edit your KDE env file and add beryl as KDEWM,
2) Link beryl-manager in your ~/.kde/Autostart, or
3) Install KDE Autostart Manager and use that to start beryl-manager on startup
