在 Linux and Open Source Blog 上看到的 SUSE 10.1: Xgl with Beryl Compiz

freedesktop.org compiz 跟 beryl 兩者之間有什麼不同呢？

Beryl

Uses flat file backend instead of gconf meaning almost no gnome dependency.
Needs “beryl-settings”, an application to configure settings instead of gnome-xgl-settings or gconf-editor.
Has a lot of extra plugins and enhanced features in other plugins.
Starts with beryl-manager.
Has a custom themeable decorator (emerald), over Compiz’s metacity theme support.
Has a theme manager (emerald-themer), over default gnome theme manager.
Changes frequently: new features are added on a daily basis.
Made by a community right here at forum.beryl-project.org, although submissions of extra plugins and enhancements from here to freedesktop would make the compiz better over all.
