I have suffered over months to get Beryl working on my Toshiba Satellite with ATI Radeon x700.I found out that this was an issue every ATI mobility x700 users encountered.(Click here if you don’t know what beryl is)
Now finally, I managed to get it working with new ATI proprietary ‘flgrx’ driver.After installing the driver you have to configure the xorg.conf.
In the ServerLayout section add the option ‘AIGLX’
Section “ServerLayout”
.
.
Option “AIGLX” “true”
EndSection
In the section ‘Module’ you should have ‘dri’,’glx’.In my xorg.conf its like
Section “Module”
Load “i2c”
Load “bitmap”
Load “ddc”
Load “dri”
Load “extmod”
Load “freetype”
Load “glx”
Load “int10″
Load “type1″
Load “vbe”
EndSection
In the ‘Device’ section you shoud have follwing options,notice that I am using the ‘flgrx’ driver
Section “Device”
Identifier “aticonfig-Device[0]“
Driver “fglrx”
Option “XAANoOffscreenPixmaps”
Option “AGPMODE” “4″
Option “AGPFastWrite” “true”
Option “DisableGLXRootClipping” “true”
Option “AddARGBXVisuals” “true”
Option “AllowGLXWithComposite” “true”
Option “EnablePageFlip” “true”
EndSection
Also you should have following sections:
Section “DRI”
Mode 0666
EndSection
and
Section “Extensions”
Option “Composite” “Enable”
EndSection
That’s it.Now you can run ‘beryl-manager’ and enjoy the eye candy.
