beryl on Etch
 
I would like to install beryl on a debian etch machine...

I went to the beryl site. I saw only the *.tar.gz package.
i didnt get any *.deb package...

So how can I install beryl on debian Etch...

Add this section to your /etc/apt/sources.list, the commented line starting with "wget" is the command to issue to import the gpg key for the beryl repository. Then do an "apt-get update".
Code:

#################
##### Beryl #####
#################
#wget http://debian.beryl-project.org/root@lupine.me.uk.gpg -O- | apt-key add -
deb http://debian.beryl-project.org/ etch main
deb-src http://debian.beryl-project.org/ etch main

Then to install beryl, issue this command, using aptitude if that's your method instead of "apt-get".
Code:

apt-get install beryl emerald emerald-themes
Then you need to edit your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file, mine is below if you want to try it, I have an Nvidia GeForce 6800 card using the Nvidia proprietary drivers from Nvidia's site. You need to install proprietary drivers, and the card must support 3d.
Code:

# nvidia-xconfig:  version 1.0  (buildmeister@builder26)  Sat May 26 01:03:50 PDT 2007
