| 577511 | 2007-08-07 04:42:00 | I just saw the YouTube flick on Beryl (thanks ziggy!) and I am impressed to the max . Where can I get it? I'll fire up another SOYO for this if it's available! What's the system requirements? |

| 577512 | 2007-08-07 07:41:00 | What's the system requirements? Linux :eek: Do you reaaaaallly wanna go there again SJ? You also need to get your vid drivers 3D capable... easier said than done as I followed the instructions *cough* with a recent install of either Mint or similar. From memory Beryl kicked in OK on Mint but not another distro. Was fun to play with for a while, then I was over it. |

| 577514 | 2007-08-07 23:33:00 | What- someone obeying me??? :eek: I'd say give Mint linux a go if you get the urge/time, it is fun to play with, but in the end just window dressing . |

| 577515 | 2007-08-08 01:28:00 | I have Sam Linux on my machine and it came with beryl working pretty much out of the box I think you just had to tick the enable 3d effects button, and sam linux installed as easily as any other linux i have used recently, as in no problems whatsoever | Morgenmuffel (187) | ||
| 577516 | 2007-08-08 08:30:00 | Beryl forked back into the Compiz project and is basically discontinued. Check out http://compiz.org/ for more information. I had Beryl running on my notebook a few months ago (Feb/March) but it was while I was booting Vista, XP and Ubuntu so it wasn't exactly the most stable it could be. Was a bit of a hassle getting it going but was glad when it finally worked out. |

Even my laptops 32MB Shared SiS Video Card runs it uber-fine! Yeah...I got another SOYO Mobo, Athlon XP 1.7 (it says) and 2g RAM..Nvidia...SBlaster and such....2-500g HDDS 17" CRT... Have you never heard of SOYOs? |

| 577519 | 2007-08-08 21:03:00 | Nup, never... Basically, it'll work on a puttload more than Vista would, lets put it that way ;) Ive found it uses very little system resources, you should be fine :) |

| 577520 | 2007-08-08 21:20:00 | Except for the Nvidia bit :D Give it a go SJ, it's purdy... just remember to whack it on it's own HD, in it's own box at least 2 metres away from any other computer equipment (to be safe switch all other electrical equipment off)... in this country they call it quarantine, in yours I think pugatory :thumbs: |
