Easy way to setup your graphics card
Finally, there is an easy way to install your graphics card in Linux. Envy is a program written in python that will do the following:
1) detect the model of your graphic card (ATI and Nvidia cards are supported)
2) download the right version of the proprietary driver for your ATI or Nvidia card from ATI or Nvidia’s websites
3) handle the dependencies (compilers, OpenGL, etc.) required to build the module
4) install the driver
5) set up your xorg.conf (i.e. the configuration file of the Xserver) for you
6) restart the Xserver for you (if you wish so)
Wow! That leaves pretty much absolutely nothing left to do. If you’re really into graphics in Linux (aren’t we all?) than envy will help get you all setup to run Beryl in no time. If you’ve used Envy please let us know if it is as good as it promises to be in the comments.
