That URL is quite old, and the post no longer exists. Since I posted this, Compiz-Quinn has changed its name to “Beryl”.

You may find up-to-date instructions at the Beryl wiki (http://wiki.beryl-project.org/wiki/Main_Page).
For Ubuntu Edgy: http://wiki.beryl-project.org/wiki/Install_Beryl_on_Ubuntu_Edgy_with_XGL
For Ubuntu Feisty: http://wiki.beryl-project.org/wiki/Install_Beryl_on_Ubuntu_Feisty_with_XGL
For Debian: http://wiki.beryl-project.org/wiki/Install_Beryl_on_Debian

Thanks for your comment, I’ve updated my blog post to reflect this

Any chance you could relocate the document which used be at http://www.compiz.net/topic-389-1.html ? That URL isn’t working for me.

Nice to hear that it Just Worked™ for you … I’ve completely screwed my five-hour-old install of Ubuntu Edgy trying to get it to work. Probably looking at the wrong guides.

Sure, usually OpenGL apps are slow, but I found a way to make them work at fullspeed (it involves running them on the other display (not the one that XGl is running on)

And I don’t believe that OpenGL acceleration is supported that well in the opensource drivers.

“Anyways, I prefer the open source ati driver and aiglx method”
Hey, you know AIGlx is built in to Xorg 7.1? And Xorg 7.1 is in Ubuntu Edgy.

I guess you’re using the Xgl Xserver, which means that OpenGL apps are going to be SLOOOOW!!!

Anyways, I prefer the open source ati driver and aiglx method, but it probably doesn’t support the X1400 anyway.
As you know, I’m getting a laptop with asdfjkl; powers (also known as radeon express 200m), I hope that it is supported by the open source drivers…
