[gentoo-user] Upgrading from Beryl to Compiz-fusion

[gentoo-user] Upgrading from Beryl to Compiz-fusion

[James Colby]

All - 

Does anyone know if there is an upgrade path from Beryl to
Compiz-Fusion.  I am currently running Beryl on my laptop and would
like to try out the new Compiz-Fusion.  Do I need to unmerge the Beryl
packages before I install Compiz-Fusion?  

Thanks for any help that you may be able to give.

I didn't unmerge Beryl first and it worked.

Nevertheless, I would still recommend:

$ emerge -C beryl
$ emerge -va --depclean
$ # install fusion

I will second Albert's message.  I didn't unmerge Beryl, and unlike Albert I
did have some issues.

Thanks, I used the above procedure and it compiled and runs well.  The
only complaint that I have is that I have no windows decorations unless
I open up a shell and manually execute emerald &.  Any ideas on how to
get emerald to run on login?  It seems to me like it should be started
automatically.

Thanks again for the help,
James

In CompizConfig go to /Effects/Window Decoration. Make sure it's enabled
and, if necessary, enter "emerald" for the command (mine is actually
blank which seems to indicate it's not necessary).

have you looked at the wiki page on gentoo?
http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_compiz-fusion

Your answer might be there.
