-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi,
I guess it is clear for all, but it was not for me.. One should completely _remove_ ati proprietary driver, before trying to use the open source one, since it changes /usr/lib/libGL.so. After removing it and including: deb http://debian.beryl-project.org/ etch main deb-src http://debian.beryl-project.org/ etch main in my sources.list, and running apt-get update; apt-get install beryl, I have radeon driver + composite + kernel 2.6.20 + beryl up and running :) Cheers, Ivan Inko IA wrote: > Hi Ivan! > > I used one of this Howtos, I don't remember which one: > > http://wiki.debian.org/Compiz > http://sonique54.free.fr/xgl/xgl.htm > > BUT, I think Compiz xgl is for gnome.
