Activating Beryl and AIGLX
Translated by J.B. Esteves - BR

After the Dreamlinux GL Edition instalation an item at the menu will make it possible to create an AIGLX/BERYL
session, just by clicking on activate.








To log in on the Beryl session the user must do logout and then make a new login, pressing the sessions button of the login
screen and choosing Beryl/GL session.

 

 


This session will only work after the correct 3D drivers are installed for your graphical card.
The driver installation for Nvidia cards is
automatically made by Dreamlinux Control Panel - DCP through the item
Ati-Nvidia - install, and it's not needed to build manually the xorg.conf.







An icon "Beryl-manager" will show at Engage for control of all the aspects, movements and effects of the environment.





Once inside the Beryl session it's possible to alternate between the normal window manager of XFCE an the Beryl, only having to do the switch through the Beryl-manager menu.

 

 

KNOWN BUGs:

On the first login of the Beryl/GL session the desktop can behave on a weird way or have an distorted appearance.
To solve this just press, at the same time, the keys Control + ALT + Backspace to restart to graphical mode.
You can also reboot the machine or restart gdm.

We hope that this new version can attend to the expectations of those that were waiting a Dreamlinux with AIGLX.
