Hi there
Any ideas on how to get the 3D Cube effects working on Beryl. (Suse 10.2 / KDE)

I've installed compiz, beryl, XGL and all the packages from the repositorywith no problems and Beryl starts fine. What do I do now

I know it's installed OK as things like Wobbly Windows and rotate etc work.

My Nvidia graphics card works fine and is 3D enabled.

All the Googling I do shows me how to INSTALL the stuff and then everybody shows screen shots of nice 3D cubes etc but nobody seems to explain how to get this actually to work.

The plug ins are also all installed.

(BTW the SMART package manger is light years ahead of YAST).

Appreciate any help on this one --please though start from AFTER the install as I've done that part OK and all I want to do is get the 3D effects working.

Cheers

You can see the keys and mouse operations needed for a given effect by checking the Beryl Settings Manager. For the cube the default keys are ctrl-alt and left mouse button. Hold ctrl and alt down, left mouse button click on the desktop and drag to rotate the cube.

Thanks -- there's a zillion and one commands --should keep me busy until the Rugby 6 Nations today England Vs Scotland.

Cheers
