First, let me say that I'm very happy to see that Kanotix is back. It's been missed greatly.

I just downloaded and installed 2007 RC6. Almost everything I've looked at so far seems to be working as it should. Congratulations Kano!!

But of course, there is a problem. It may be the video card, beryl, or maybe it's just an operator malfunction. Unsally I suspect the latter because I missed something I shouldn't have. Nevertheless, I need help.

I installed the nvidia driver (Nvidia 7600gs video card) using the Kanotix kde control module. After logging out and later rebooting I could not get select Beryl as the window manager. Kwin is the only choice the Beryl manager will let me have. What have I done wrong?

Guidance will be greatly appreciated.

I guess the tool accidently started it with -c option, as I reversed the meaning Composite might be off. Login to vt1 (ctrl-alt-f1) and run:

update-scripts-kanotix.sh
install-nvidia-debian.sh

That way you will always get latest drivers - I guess they update it soon. Also you can even install nvidia in live mode using

nvidia

cheatcode (fglrx would be for ati cards).

Thanks Kano!!! You can mark this one as solved.

I now have a cube which turns, gets transparent when I want it to , and does all that other stuff which makes Beryl such great eye candy.

Hopefully compiz-fusion will make all that eye candy even better (eventually). Sehr glücklich
