The Rabbit Joint

Guys please help me. The new/shiny syndrome is too much to handle. Im on the verge of torrenting in Vista Ultimate

cant....fight........urge.........too.......................new and shiny....

... my WINxp desktop is black with only one Icon; for MAME. Not even the task bar was safe :lol:

You don't need shiny, you don't need widgets, you don't need animated semi-transparant-song-singing-break-dancing friggin' windows to get things done.

I'm like a new/shiny addict. And you guys are a poor support group!

I thought you built a mame cab?

You have to add the Beryl repository to your repository list, there's guides on how to do this everywhere. Also you have to have your video card configured right, so look for a guide involving your brand of video card. Oddly, the easiest ones to get working are the cheap Intel integrated cards <_<

I'm using the open source ATI drivers which were quite easy to get working, but they only work on older ATI cards, people with newer ones need the closed source ATI drivers which are a royal pain.

Well I'm now stuck, cos I had to upgrade from dapper to edgy to get to beryl, and since the upgrade, my wireless adaptor does'nt work, and therefore can't install beryl.

If you're using ndiswrapper, then follow this guide. Should help you.

 

[Mudi]

Yeah, I can confirm that guide works if you have one of the bcm43xx's. I installed Edgy on a laptop with one and for the longest time couldn't figure out why the wireless card isn't working ("it's loading the module, why isn't it going?") but in order to use the bcm43xx module you need to rip the firmware from the Windows driver. I didn't feel like doing that, so I just used ndiswrapper myself, and it works perfectly.

Beryl always satisfies my new and shiny needs.

Always end up uninstalling it eventually though.
