If you are in an experimenting mood. I would recommend going to Compiz-Fusion and skipping Beryl. Beryl is no longer being developed. Compiz-fusion is the merger between the old compiz and the old beryl and it looks great. It is very easily configured and seems to be mostly stable on two of my systems (one using an ATI card and the other with an NVidia card) There are some instructions here http://moosy.blogspot.com/search/label/compiz%20fusion (Scroll down) although they needed to be modified a little bit (I use Smart as my package manager) to install the packages. Suse has a some git-snapshopts here that take most of the work out. Just install compiz-git-all and it will get what you need. (http://software.opensuse.org/download/home:/cyberorg/openSUSE_10.2) Hope this helps. Tom Bob Williams wrote:

It went OK, except that all my windows lost their title bars. Having fiddled around a bit with the display settings, I decided to back out. So I reverted to the KDE window manager, uninstalled all the beryl packages using YaST, that is
beryl-core beryl-manager beryl-plugins beryl-settings emerald emerald-themes aquamarine
leaving compiz and xgl.
Unfortunately, nothing's changed :( My desktops are still on the faces of a rotating cube, my windows have no title bars, and my theme has reverted to KDE-standard. This behaviour survives logging out/in and even rebooting. I've even deleted ~/.beryl
Any suggestions, please?
Try running aquamarine (or emerald) by hand
ie. "aquamarine --replace"
So I'd have to re-install all those packages? I'll give it a go :)
