Yeah I might see about documenting it at some point, but I basically |
| 16 |
just followed the wiki. Although it's still a little quirky wrt to |
| 17 |
starting beryl-xgl, and beryl-manager during log in. But that kinda |

Nah, it's all about your config. If that sucker is not dialed in it will |

blow. It took me forever to get mine to where it's at. Still some stuff |
| 26 |
left like dialing in dual monitors and etc. Here is my current |
