I'm getting back into linux here, last time I was using linux consistently I installed beryl and kiba dock and had a lot of fun with it. I want to install it again, but about the time I dissapeared from the linux world Beryl merged with Compiz, so I dont know the exact situation anymore. What has changed? Second, I'm about to set up a second monitor no my computer this week, just waiting for an adapter in the mail, am I going to be able to configure compiz to use this to my advantage, and will it be hard to get it to work with multiple monitors? Also, should I wait until I get that second monitor on and configured normally before I install compiz?


Thanks,
MJ

In Ubuntu at least, gone are the days of problems with "Beryl." Beryl and Compiz merged to compiz-fusion. It's all a breeze now with the ccsm utility. So long as you setup your second monitor in Xorg you can simply "click a button" to get compiz-fusion to span or mirror on the two monitors depending on what you want.

Man, your were right, so easy to get compiz working this time around Now i'll see what happens when I get my other monitor hooked up in a few days...
