Fixing Beryl problems in Ubuntu Feisty and the i810

In another post I was mentioning that there is a way to make Beryl run smoother when you change the depth in X11 lower than 24.

Actually by the time I had the feeling it sucks. Well it is faster even you have a lot of eyecandy enabled, but on the other side I didn’t really like it when the shadows around that window for example don’t look nice. Or when other things are looking bad only because of the screen depth. I was playing around changing the depth to 24 but it only resulted in the white screen of death, or yes Beryl only showed me a white cube.

So I found a solution for it when I was searching for something very different.

Anyway reinstalling unstable intel drivers did the trick. Everything now works like a charm and in 24bit depth :)

If you want the unstable intel drivers installed just give your terminal some:

sudo aptitude xserver-xorg-video-intel/unstable

and restart the Xserver
sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
and you are done.

Can enhancing my Ubuntu desktop with Beryl help me pass the 350-001 exam? Maybe the flaming effects applied to the window displaying my VCP-310 study guide or my Cisco 640-802 questions and answers would help motivate me to study? It could just be that nothing will help you pass the actual tests that go with the Microsoft 70-290 exam than actual hard work and determination.
