You'll see codes within the blue boxes below for various commands. When you see a \ that signifies a line break. What this means is that the command is split up across more than one line. When you copy/paste the commands, you need to leave out the \ from within the command. If you fail to do so, the command will not work.

Open a terminal as root and add the following Beryl urpmi sources: 

urpmi.addmedia SoS-Contrib \ 
http://seerofsouls.com/mandriva/2007/i586/contrib/ with hdlist.cz
urpmi.addmedia SoS-Main \ 
http://seerofsouls.com/mandriva/2007/i586/main/ with hdlist.cz

The above sources are for i586 systems ONLY

Install beryl using the following command: 

urpmi beryl-core beryl-manager beryl-plugins beryl-settings

To run beryl just launch the app called: 

beryl-manager

Now for Nvidia users

Make sure you are using the latest drivers from http://nvidia.com - as of now they are 9746 or anything newer will certainly work. Download the .run file and perform the following command while X is *NOT* running: 

sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-9746-pkg1.run

Then, make sure your system isn't using Xgl and Compiz. To do so, edit the following file: 

/etc/sysconfig/xgl

And make sure you have the following line in the above file: 

XGL=no

You also need to edit the following file: 

/etc/sysconfig/compiz

And make sure you have the following line in the above file: 

COMPIZ=no

Now you need to edit the following file: 

/etc/X11/xorg.conf

Make sure the following lines are in the above file: 

Section "device" 
Option "RenderAccel" "True" 
Option "DisableGLXRootClipping" "true" 
Option "BackStoring" "True" 

Section "screen" 
Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "True" 

Section "Extensions" 
Option "Composite" "Enable" 
Option "RENDER" "Enable"

Once you have those files edited correctly, simply reboot your system.

For Intel card users you need to edit the following file again: 

/etc/X11/xorg.conf

And add the following line to the 'Devices' section in the above file: 

Option "AccelMethod" "EXA"

Then launch beryl with the following command: 

beryl-manager

Some Extra KDE Information

If your extra unlucky the console will freeze and you won't be able to do anything but close the session. Opening a new console will do nothing. So what you need to do is open an "XTERM" session, for some reason this won't be frozen and type in beryl-manager.

All the title bars on your windows will probably disappear once beryl is running. Don't worry this will fix itself once you do the following:

1. Right click on the Beryl icon (which should be in your system tray on your task bar) 2. go to "Select Window Manager" and select Beryl.
