[gentoo-user] Upgrading from Beryl to Compiz-fusion
All - Does anyone know if there is an upgrade path from Beryl to Compiz-Fusion. I am currently running Beryl on my laptop and would like to try out the new Compiz-Fusion. Do I need to unmerge the Beryl packages before I install Compiz-Fusion? Thanks for any help that you may be able to give. -James -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

I didn't unmerge Beryl first and it worked. Nevertheless, I would still recommend: $ emerge -C beryl $ emerge -va --depclean $ # install fusion -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

The only complaint that I have is that I have no windows decorations unless I open up a shell and manually execute emerald . Any ideas on how to get emerald to run on login? It seems to me like it should be started automatically. In CompizConfig go to /Effects/Window Decoration. Make sure it's enabled and, if necessary, enter emerald for the command (mine is actually blank which seems to indicate it's not necessary). -- Albert W. Hopkins -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
