Hi
I watch some ubuntu-beryl videos from youtube and I want to try these effects on my Toshiba Sa50 series laptop. I am good at windows systems but I don't know anything about linux so please give me some step by step instructions about installing this software. (My experience on linux is not very good installing a software is a big pain)

My computer specifications are: Centrino 1.7 Ghz 1 GB DDR-Ram Intel 855 GME on board video and I am running Ubuntu 7.10 with a clean install...

How can I install compiz in easy steps ?

Thanks

go to Applications > Accessories > Terminal
run sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager
sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.confthen
Now, we need to change a few sections. First, we need to load all required modules. Navigate to Section "Module" and make sure that the following is added or present:

Section "Module"
Load "dri"
Load "glx"
Load "dbe"Add these to Section "Device"

Option "XAANoOffscreenPixmaps" "true"
Option "DRI" "true"Add these to Section "ServerLayout"

Option "AIGLX" "true"Make sure Section "DRI" looks like this

Group "video"
Mode 0660Finally, add this to Section "Extensions"

Option "Composite" "Enable"save
right-click on your desktop and in Change Desktop Background, there is a tab that says desktop effects, select 'extra' (this is needed for you changes to take place)

to edit the settings, go to System > Preferences > CompizConfig Settings Manager

:D
