For Optimus the games needs to be run with the --software-ui option.

Quoting: liamdaweNote: This shows my 970 performing better than the 980 Ti and Titan X tested over at Phoronix, so his benchmark is very odd.
My Titan X (driver v352.30) running at 1920x1200 on Ultra settings, with the HD Content, gets the following results.
Average FPS: 79.59
Max FPS: 115.81
Min FPS: 44.91

Quoting: doctorxi wanted to play this...but crashes starting up.
Yeah, I'm not having much luck either. I figured out that there are two missing libraries -- "libSDL2-2.0.so.0" and "libSDL2_image-2.0.so.0" -- even though they're supposed to be included in the Steam runtime. When I installed the Ubuntu versions, it got me past the missing library error but then immediately crashed without even getting to the splash screen.
Using a mixture of libraries like that will cause problems. See the Steam support page on how to refresh your steam files [External Link].

Logitech F310 Gamepad Review On Linux
19 May 2015 at 7:29 pm UTC

Quoting: jsa1983I have the F510 and it is very confy, indeed.
I grabbed one of these back when I heard they were being discontinued. I find these Logitech game pads rather unconformable for prolonged usage. The area below the shoulder buttons is slightly too small for the knuckle of my ring fingers (friends have had the same issue).


Quoting: coesetaI am using a Wii U pro controller, best gamepad I have used

Looks pretty good. If the Steam Controller [External Link] doesn't live up expectations, I'll be giving it a try.

Great article! :D

@mirv & amelcher,
For pointer input I switched to a graphics tablet [External Link], with which I can work all day long. For info regarding keyboards I recommend heading over to geekhack [External Link].
