aerogate Posted June 22, 2007 Report Share Posted June 22, 2007 Many of you Cedega users will notice that most games wont play in full screen mode while you have 3D Desktop/Compiz/XGL/Beryl loaded. Googling around there`s plenty suggestions on how to solve this problem by loading a second instance of X display, some say that a future Kernel update will solve this problem too. A great workaround is to use Beryl, and Beryl manager instead of Compiz. Beryl manager gives you a small tray icon with easy access to switch between full 3D/composite desktop manager and Kwin (Kde windows manager) without you having to logout or restart x server. So, you simply switch from Beryl to Kwin, load you game, play and when finished simply switch back to Beryl. Here`s a video to show how easy it is. http://www.mistersend.com/mike/videos/beryl_cedega_mp4.zip Hope this helps someone, Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyme Posted June 22, 2007 Report Share Posted June 22, 2007 Note that beryl and compiz are re-merging and will soon both be the same project again. Also note that in GNOME you will want to switch to Metacity instead of Kwin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
