Hi All Well I managed to get Ubuntu on the Fujitsu Amelo D-7830 I needed to add *acpi=off pnpbios=off* after running all the updates (107 of them) with a hopeful glee like a six year old on Christmas day I started the Beryl install process. 1st up is xgl-server "Go on my son" sudo apt-get install xgl-server Wait for it... apt-get "Get stuffed xgl-server requires libc6 2.4.1 but 2.3.0 is to be installed, unmet dependencies" I know says /me, I'll enable backports, world, universe and anything else I can find. (Mr Bavige sound from Family Fortunes) bhaaaarp bhaaaarp "dependancies" Alright I'll google for it, apparently libc6 is twenty gazillion light years ahead of everyone so Ubuntu thinks its really cool to stick it in the update tree. Maybe I could downgrade but; 1. I don't know how 2. I can't be arsed to learn .deb, dpkg, aptitude and whole deluge of other stuff. 3. Have wasted enough time without sitting on the web for 10 hours trying to find the correct libc6 then struggling with apt/aptitude getting the dam thing installed. I only installed Ubuntu because it has the very latest Beryl stuff but I may go back to being two months behind with Beryl releases and install opensuse instead. Its so much easier with rpm :-p -- Dick Turpin "Stand and deliver!" _______________________________________________ Staffslug mailing list Staffslug(a)staffslug.org.uk http://www.staffslug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/staffslug

Yep just had this in from a guy I know. ... I haven't used xgl in ages ... I assume you've got ubuntu edgy? That has xorg 7.1 which means it's got aiglx on there already, so you don't need anything more ... just install beryl and add a line or two to xorg.conf and you're laughing Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "true" Option "AllowGLXWithComposite" "true" under device is what I've got may be a little different if you've got an intel gpu xgl isn't supposed to work right with the newer beryls anyway I believe ... it does give you support for xwinwrap ... but that probably isn't going to work great unless you've got a nice gpu on there. Seeing as its Friday and I generally have a couple of cans there maybe some swearing tonight or avery bad celebration hangover in the morning. -- Dick Turpin "Stand and deliver!" _______________________________________________ Staffslug mailing list Staffslug(a)staffslug.org.uk http://www.staffslug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/staffslug
