QGameX

1.1.1

KDE Other Utility

Score 73%

Link: http://
Downloads: 1123

Submitted: Nov 11 2006
Updated: Dec 9 2007

Description:

QGameX is a tool for launching games, optionally in a separated X11 session. It has a configuration GUI (QT 4), which is used for profile generation by setting certain options (see screenshots). The game itself can be simply run later by PROFILE=myprofile qgamex game-command game-args.

Compilation:
qmake (or qmake-qt4)
make

Then you may want to copy the resulting binary to your PATH.

TIP: Add nvidia-settings -l into the "commands to execute before running the game" field. It will apply your nVIDIA overclocking settings.

Changelog:

* version 1.1.1
keyboard map is now restored after the game exits (but not 100% reliable)
* version 1.1.0
support for new FSAA modes
program displays only the options available for the selected GPU
program can run a game in the existing X session too
* version 1.0.3
a running X server is no longer necessary for running a game
* version 1.0.2
increased program verbosity
* version 1.0.1
added an option "vblank sync to device"
* version 1.0
initial release

I have the Qt4 libraries and everything, I tried to compile it using:
qmake-qt4 -project
qmake-qt4
make

but when I run make it has loads of complaints, including:
qgamex.cpp:26:24: error: QDomDocument: No such file or directory

but I can't work out how to get it.

Use just qmake && make. The -project switch overwrites settings that include QT XML libs.

of launching games in a separate X

users with XGL may need that, cause
AIGLX doesn't needs at all.

I use a separate X session so I can switch back to the desktop easily without terminating the game.

MultiGPU mode also causes me some trouble in 2D, so I need to start another session for games (with MultiGPU enabled xorg config file).

Also, when the game crashes or freezes, you can simply switch back to your desktop, kill the game and x-server and start again without the need to hit the reset switch again for a reboot.

P.S.: Maybe such a mechanism could be added to this app? You could then just hit a button to kill the stuff. Finding the correct processes and additionally needed rights to terminate the frozen (different user/root?) x-server and game come to my mind.

Another use would be watching videos on a TV screen.

I use a different xorg.conf for everyday use than for watching videos with my card's tv-out, because I don't want to have to have cloned mode on all the time and be forced to use the low resolution that TVs support on my CRT.

However, I use xgame-gtk2 and a script I wrote for that ATM.

Try running "which startx" from KDE if it just yields some path or says not found.

Then try this modified version that should be more verbose: http://dolezel.info/sub/projekty/qgamex-1.0.1-verbose.tar.bz2

But that's not the way I like it :-)

The original idea is to use one profile for more games, not to have one profile per game. E.g. one profile for GPU intensive games, another profile for simple games etc.

Therefore screenshots and other stuff make no sense.
