beryl

I'm finally using beryl on my main machine, and its beautiful. I'd been using it on and off, but now I have it turned on all the time. Despite being really beautiful it really does provide a boost in productivity. Especially when coding. Try F8 or F9, and see if it helps you too...

Ok, I'll tell you what F8/F9 does. Its Linux equivalent for OS X's expose. I really like the feature since it makes it much more easier to work with open windows/workspaces.

beryl

I tried getting AIGLX and beryl working on my ubuntu box yesterday, but it seems that the graphics card on the machine isn't strong enough. I think its a really old ATI card, I don't even remember. Any case, when beryl starts up it complains about the texture size, and 25% of the screen is black. And I really wanted to try out the new dock.

And my friends wonder why in the world I would need a couple of more systems to play around with! :D
