Howto: ATI Xpress 200M+ XGL + Beryl in Feisty
This is very simple actually. It worked perfectly for me.

After installing Feisty, make sure your system is completely updated.
Code:

Kod: Markera allt

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

First step is getting your drivers set up. To do this use the Restricted Driver Manager.
Code:

System >> Administration >> Restricted Drivers Manager

and enable your ATI driver.
Reboot the computer and make sure fglrx loaded correctly. There should be an icon in the notification area telling you that you have restricted modules loaded. You may also need to add this to your xorg.conf file, I don't remember adding it by hand, I'm pretty sure the restricted modules manager did it for me but I'll put it here just in case.
Code:

Section "Extensions"
        Option          "Composite"    "0"
EndSection

Now we need to install XGL.
Code:

Kod: Markera allt

sudo apt-get install xserver-xgl

the package in the Ubuntu repo works.

XGL won't load on its own so we need to write a few scripts to have it start.
Code:

Kod: Markera allt

sudo gedit /usr/local/bin/startxgl.sh

put this in your startxgl.sh file
Code:

Kod: Markera allt

#!/bin/sh
Xgl :1 -fullscreen -ac -accel xv:pbuffer -accel glx:pbuffer &
DISPLAY=:1
exec dbus-launch --exit-with-session gnome-session

if you experience a bug where you have no restart/shutdown button in the shutdown menu then you need to edit startxgl.sh to this
Code:

Kod: Markera allt

#!/bin/sh
Xgl :1 -fullscreen -ac -accel xv:pbuffer -accel glx:pbuffer &
DISPLAY=:1
cookie="$(xauth -i nextract - :0 | cut -d ' ' -f 9)"
xauth -i add :1 . "$cookie"
exec dbus-launch --exit-with-session gnome-session

now save and make the script executable
Code:

Kod: Markera allt

sudo chmod a+x /usr/local/bin/startxgl.sh

Now we need to create a way to login and launch that
Code:

sudo gedit /usr/share/xsessions/xgl.desktop

put this test into that file
Code:

Kod: Markera allt

[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=GNOME with XGL
Comment=
Exec=/usr/local/bin/startxgl.sh
Icon=
Type=Application

now make that script executable
Code:

Kod: Markera allt

sudo chmod a+x /usr/share/xsessions/xgl.desktop

Now test your login. Logout, click sessions and chose GNOME with XGL. If you get to the desktop you're now very close. If you have the universe repository enabled we need to disable it. The beryl that is in the universe does not work with xgl.
Code:

System >> Administration >> Software sources

now disable the universe repo and reload.
Now we need to add the beryl repo.
Code:

Kod: Markera allt

wget http://ubuntu.beryl-project.org/root@lupine.me.uk.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add -

Now add this source to your Software sources via the Third party tab
Code:

Kod: Markera allt

deb http://ubuntu.beryl-project.org/ feisty main

reload sources and it's time to install!
Code:

Kod: Markera allt

sudo apt-get install beryl emerald-themes

Once that's finished installing you can launch beryl with
Code:

Kod: Markera allt

beryl-manager

That's it! Now if you want to enable the universe repo be careful not to update any beryl packages. They will break beryl as they do not have XGL support unfortunately, hopefully by release date this will be fixed. I don't think I left anything out but if I did please let me know! I'll do my best to answer any questions I can, as you can see it went very smoothly for me and i wish all of you the best of luck.

Kort som har funkat utan problem med denna guide:
ATI Radeon Xpress 200G Series (RS480)
ATI Xpress 200M
ATI X1400
ATI X600 mobility
ATI Radeon 9600xt

För dem med vit skärm/kub, försök med det här i terminal för att starta beryl:

Kod: Markera allt

LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/fglrx/libGL.so.1.2.xlibmesa beryl --replace &

och sen

Kod: Markera allt

beryl-manager
