<br>or the 3ddesktop package which is a very different thing. If Beryl,<br>try:<br><a href="http://wiki.beryl-project.org/index.php/Install/Ubuntu/Edgy/XGL">http://wiki.beryl-project.org/index.php/Install/Ubuntu/Edgy/XGL
</a><br>which is a tutorial for installing Beryl to your system and<br>configuring it on Edgy but it worked for my Feisty installation, too.<br>Compiz comes, I believe, with Feisty but has to be called, it isn't<br>'turned on' by default.
<br>If it's the 3ddesktop package you want then just<br><apt-get (or aptitude) install 3ddesktop> and, in a terminal run<br><sudo 3ddeskd><br>to start the daemon and then<br><3ddesk><br> to operate it. Arrow keys to switch, <Enter> to zoom in.
<br>Incidentally, if you have Beryl installed and working you'll see only<br>one desktop when using 3ddesktop unless you've changed the default<br>desktop number in the configuration. The sides of the Beryl polygon
<br>aren't really desktops in the traditional sense. You have to change<br>the setting for 'Number of Desktops' in the Beryl settings manager.<br>Then each desktop will have a polygon (Beryl 'cube') of its own.
