The new machine is:
Asus A7N266-VM Mobo (has GeForce2 integrated GPU)
GeForce4 Ti 4200 AGP 8x video card
Mint has installed fine and the Nvidia driver has been installed using Envy.
The Nvidia driver is acknowledged in the Restricted Drivers Manager as installed and in use.
Beryl however, won't run.
It is setup to load at startup and for the splash logo to appear.
At startup no splash appears but the icon appears in the taskbar.
Right clicking the Beryl icon shows that the window manager is Metacity.
Trying to change to Beryl makes the display blink a few times then revert to Metacity.
Trying to change themes with Emerald results in no change.
I've been searching forums and trying all manner of things with no luck.
Hope someone can help
