beryl on x86_64 [solved]

tony5429 · 2007-07-16 07:18:20

i am planning on building a 64-bit system soon and would like to know if beryl will work on it. typically, i have simply installed the necessary packages with 'pacman -Sy xgl beryl-gnome beryl-extras' but now i see from http://www.archlinux.org/~andyrtr/pkg_diff.html that many beryl packages are only available in 32-bit. will i have problems installing beryl on the 64-bit system or will pacman know to use the 32-bit version of beryl since there is currently no 64-bit version??

All necessary packages are available on arch64 bit.

beryl runs fine on 64bit. But there is only the latest release (0.2.1) from beryl in the extra repo of arch64. But beryl isn't developed anymore...
I test compiz-fusion (compiz and beryl fusioned to compiz-fusion) this morning, runs fine here on arch64.

wiki page is here: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Compiz_fusion

thanks for the feedback! can't wait to try out compiz fusion

compiz-fusion is under heavy development.....so expect bugs.....the packages are only snaphsots from the development tree

Agreed, use beryl if you want something stable. compiz-fusion is the future though.
