I've been trying to get XGL/Compiz/Beryl working on my desktop, but not had any luck. I've got Ubuntu on there and the graphics card I'm using is a ATI Radeon 9600 TX. Anyone know if it is supported, or if it's me that's doing something wrong. I'm a n00b on Linux :eek:

You've got a few places to go for help:

I've got an Nvidia card, not sure how you get it working with ATI cards.

All hail Mac OS X clones! :p

:p

The difference is, XGL/Compiz desktop stuff is all eye candy - not actually useful. OSX stuff is useful :p

I thought it was all eye candy too, but being completly honest its not.. I really find myself using multiple desktops now with all my work stuff on one desktop with music players, web pages such as CS on another. And its so easy to move windows around and sort out the clutter if you have too many windows open.

Very nice stuff indeed and makes the desktop very 'newbie' friendly, and at the end of the day the more appealing the desktop looks to users the more enjoyment they will get out of using it.

Yep, but that's all standard stuff.. XGL just made it prettier. :)
I was using multiple workspaces in various window managers years ago.. I just didn't have a cube rotating and taking longer than an instant to get me to my desired workspace :p

XGL/Compiz is very nice.. when I was showing people at Uni it.. every single person said it's very neat.. it's just got the wow factor, but it didn't improve my productivity at all (infact, it made it worse.. I just wobbled windows all day and made the cube rotate at high speed :rasp:)
