Hi,
Apologies if my problem has been solved somewhere else, but I've been looking around, and have found too many things I do not understand completely. So before I try too hard to break my PC, here is my problem:
I installed Beryl in my FC6 as described in the beryl site, and also changed my /etc/X11/xorg.comf as indicated. However, Beryl it would not launch. I got the Beryl settings allright, but nothing else. And when I modified gnome-session-properties to start Beryl automatically, it crashed. And everytime I tried to log in as root, it would crash my xserver and go back to the login screen. However, it did let me log in as mythtv (another user), and finally I had to unistall Beryl. I still want to try it, so please help me...
I had been trying to install MythTV just before (couldn't, but that's for another thread), and I installed the latest NVidia drivers as recommended somewhere.
My Gnome->Administration->Display Settings report my video card as "nVidia Corporation NV18[GeForce4 MX -nForce GPU]". I know it's integrated onto the motherboard. It seems there is no problem with the card, as I can see the environment pretty well.
Any ideas? If you need more information, please let me know. I've come back to Linux after a few years without touching it, so I'm a bit rusty at the moment.
Thanks in advance
