Solved: How to enable Beryls effects
I'm running an Nvidia 8600 GT video card under PCLinuxOS and I've installed the Nvidia driver through Synaptic. I've enabled 3D acceleration. After doing these steps I get 16 desktop numbers in my taskbar and when clicking them the desktop spins like a rectangle but when minimizing or restoring windows it still looks (reacts) the same as before. When moving windows they will bend. How do I configure these effects? Under "Configure your computer/3D desktop effects" I see no other options other than to enable "Full 3D effects" and "Use native support and Compiz-Fusion" which I have all checked. Help!!!

You see 4 sides of the cube.
You had 4 desktops b4 before you did this.
This gives you a total of 16.
Reduce desktops to 1 from 4.

I will say that Beryl makes Vista's Aero graphics look like a crayon drawing next to the Mona Lisa

Yes. There really is no comparison between the two.
