We were having issues getting our first HVM machine up and running in Lenny AMD64 and this did the trick perfectly.

Thanks for sharing.

I’m glad you posted this. I came across this issue today and other posts were not helping. I believe that this is a potential issue for any network which is setup with multiple ip addresses and/or internal/external hostnames.

Hi abhishek, as long as the ATI fglrx driver is installed beryl should work... except I believe Beryl has been merged into Compiz Fusion.

And Ubuntu now includes Compiz Fusion in the one of the repositories... try typing "apt-cache search compiz" on the command line to see the list of packages.

Just as a warning, it is possible to make your system unstable, so just make sure you experiment with it when you have time to debug things if something goes wrong. It's probably a lot more stable compared to the first time I tried it.

Enjoy!

Hi Brandon, Can we install beryl on ubuntu. I have almost same configuration as your laptop (except 15.4″). I have read the book mentioned by you but it says x1400 is not supported ie. x1400 is not in the list of supported driver.

I am really glad it worked! Enjoy Ubuntu! I’m glad that you are finding that book very useful, I will recommend it again in the future to other people. =o)
