Installing Beryl On An Ubuntu Feisty Fawn Desktop With An ATI Radeon Graphic Card
This tutorial shows how you can install and configure Beryl on an Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty Fawn) desktop with an ATI Radeon graphic card. With Beryl, you can make your desktop use beautiful 3D effects. We will use the open-source ATI driver that comes with Ubuntu plus AIGLX to achieve this; the other way to do this would be to use the closed-source ATI driver together with XGL which seems to be a bit unstable.

Good tutorial...
Wish I had seen it a week ago when I hosed my X server while trying to get Beryl working. lol The good news is that I didn't panic. I logged in on the command line, navigated to the right directory, and used nano to correct the offending lines. Gold star for me!
