Beryl on an Ubuntu laptop with Intel graphics

So I’ve been happy with Ubuntu so far, but wanted to show those Vista guys a thing or two by installing Beryl. The Beryl/XGL-Ubuntu instructions over at the Beryl Wiki are great, but didn’t have information for an Intel graphics card (for people like me with Intel embedded graphics through the chipset).

I did some Googling and found a startup script for XGL that works with an Intel graphics chip like on my Dell 700m. I’ve added the information to the wiki, but if you’re looking to get Beryl up and running on an Ubuntu laptop with Intel graphics, here’s where to go. The Intel-specific startupxgl.sh script I’ve added is:

#!/bin/sh
beryl-manager
sleep 4
exec gnome-session
