Beryl 0.2.0.rc2 is Ready For Testing
The latest Beryl 3D desktop, version 0.2.0.rc2 is now in the mepis64-6.5 and mepis32-6.5 pools. To tryout beryl, you must be running SimplyMEPIS 6.5.beta5 or better. To get started, install the beryl, aquamarine, and emerald packages. Then while logged in, click on Beryl Manager in the System menu. Automatic integration of Beryl with KDE will be available for testing in a few days.
To run beryl wih nvidia, the nvidia driver is required. The latest nvidia driver does not support older nvidia chips and the current legacy driver is too old to support Beryl. A new leagacy driver will be available soon.
The fglrx driver from ATI is not compatible with Beryl. Fortunately, the xorg radeon driver works well with Beryl.
The latest i810 driver for xorg 7.1 also works with Beryl but it has limited support for Intel 965 chips.
If you find a problem that seems to be related to MEPIS support for Beryl, please report it to . If you have a problem that seems to be related to Beryl functionality, please go to www.beryl-project.org and report it there.
