How do I get beryl working on a Nvidia Mx400

Can anyone tell me whats wrong? Is it my graphics card thats to old?

I did that and yes the desktop moves but it doesn't look like a cube as it covers the full screen. Also I have 4 desktops and just to see if its rolling through all the desktops, I put a different wallpaper on each one. rolling the mouse wheel would flip the current desktop but the wallpaper stayed the same which means its just showing one desktop.

is there something i need to do?

Beryl is still in its 0.2 stage, so some things are lacking. One of those is proper integration of the kde desktops and the cube sides.

In Beryl settings manager you can specify how many sides the cube will have (if it has 5, it will be a pentacube

When the cube spins, you see the different sides of the cube. For each desktop in KDE, you will have a different cube. So, if you have 4 desktops and a 4 sided cube, you will basically have 16 workspaces.

In system > more applications you find the Beryl settings manager. There you can set all kinds of preferences for window effects etc.

To view the cube in all its glory, hold the left ctrl-alt keys and click and drag with the mouse on the desktop. You will then see how the cube moves.

Poke around in the settings manager. It takes some getting used to.

Also, be aware of a bug in the nvidia driver. You probably have a card with 64 MB of memory. With a lot of apps open at the same time, you can suddenly get black windows. This is due to a memory management bug that hopefully will be solved in a next release

Newbie or not Newbie, there's always a question

its so old i even own two, and no, there are no fancy effects here either with that card
