    Knoppix 5.1.1 on Toshiba P25-S507 Laptop

    Hi:
    I have Knoippix 5.1.1 DVD with me I dont have the boot option for beryl like Knoppix Desktop=lg3d|kde\gnome or something else.

    In KDE when I click beryl I get these errors

    XGL absent, checking for NVIDIA Nvdia Absent,
    Checking for texture_from_pixmap
    texture_pixmap present

    beryl: No Composite Extension.

    I dont get anything else.

    I can see the Beryl manager in GNOME, Does Beryl only works on KDE?

    I have P4 2.8GHZ, with 512MB RAM and NVIDIA GeForce FX Go5200 Graphics CARD.

    How do I get Beryl working on both KDE & Gnome.

    Thanks,

    I have not installed it yet, But is a great improvement over Knoppix 4.0 DVD

    Thanks,
    AJ

    Hi:

    I was able to use the Knoppix cheatcode

    knoppix desktop=beryl at boot,

    I get this message stating,

    "No AIGLX extension for your graphics card, sorry no 3D Desktop"

    I am using NVIDIA GeForce FXGo5200 Graphics Card. Are there extensions for this card. I am thinking of replacing Knoppix 4.0 on my laptop with 5.1.1 version. Getting Beryl to work would be great, I would not mind if it did'nt.


    Thanks
    AJ

    You need to download the Linux NVIDIA drivers from the NVIDIA website...

    google for: "Linux NVIDIA Drivers"


    Take Care,

    I have the latest NVIDIA drivers installed, I still get this message, though the BERYL diamond appears on the task bar.

    XGL absent, checking for NVIDIA Nvidia present
    Relaunching beryl with __GL_YIELD="NOTHING",
    XGL Absent, checking for NVIDIA
    NVIDIA present
    beryl: No Composite Extension.

    What next?

    Thanks,
