The "desktop cube" efect is enabled by default. To rotate the cube hold Ctrl+Alt then drag the the desktop(if the rotate cube efect doesn't start try to intall libcroco, librsvg and maybe cairo again). To search/edit/add more bindings, open 'beryl-manager' General Options>Shortcuts>Keyboard and Mouse:

If you want more effects(snow, splash, water) go to 'beryl-manager'>Extras

Also read the beryl FAQ http://www.beryl-project.org/faq.php :wink:

It's a problem with the hardware. You'll need a better graphics card. (at least a GeForce FX)

By default it is the "Win" button on the keyboard, to enable it use this:
Run Puppy's "Mouse/Keyboard Wizard">>"Advanced Xorg keyboard configuration">>another window will pop up, press the "Alt/Win behavior" button>> select "altwin: super_win">> press OK and restart X.

Hmm, not from me (don't have the time to install, preconfigure, test, upload, etc.) sorry, but I was thinking about a pup_save file with everything preinstalled(for Intel and ATI gpus).

I haven't read anything about that.

It should work, since it works on other distros.

Try to reconfigure the xorg.conf file running this command(nvidia only):

Code: Select all

nvidia-xconfig --add-argb-glx-visuals --allow-glx-with-composite --disable-glx-root-clipping --render-accel --composite --depth=24
Copy and paste this line in any terminal window, press Enter and Restart X.

sounds great

what are the chances of compiz fusion .pets or pups being made?

the pupsave would likely be multi version compatable also right?
only an upgrade would occur for some versions

Give me some time :wink: I need to recompile everything for GTK+ 2.8.x

Yes, for Puppy-2.13 and up. A 64MB (unzipped) pup_save file should be good enough.

so.. Intel PIV 3GHz with on board graphic card I810 can not support water effect?

My Xorg-7.2 package has newer drivers. Try to install(in order) [Pack]x11-7.2-i486.pup in Xvesa mode then run xorgwizard to switch to Xorg. Now if you want 3D acceleration install the Mesa dotpup and this driver(requires devx_217.sfs): http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_disp ... 14.11.html

Get the graphical installer or sources from: http://www.xfce.org/download/

I cannot share my xfce-4.4.1 binaries because "my Puppy" uses gtk+-2.10.12 and the official Puppy works under gtk+-2.8.x

And about Compiz Fusion, I got it working on the same system required to run Beryl(Puppy) with few updates such as: intltool-0.35.5; pygobject-2.12.x; pygtk-2.10.4; mesa-7.0. BUT there are problems, CCSM(CompizConfigSettingsManager) still needs gtk+ 2.10.x; so Compiz Fusion is almost unconfigurable. Some tweaks can be done through an old version of "CompizConfigSettings".

This is the end(for now) we have to wait for a more updated release of Puppy; switch to Grafpup or use a fancy puppy derivate.

Note: Compiz and Beryl can't coexist(in my setup).
