Quoting: killxdenIs the Overlay always that big?

It can be modified! You can edit two config files, one being global or the other being per user.
/etc/glxosd.conf for global configuration, contains the default config
or the user specific one at the following:
~/.glxosd/glxosd.conf

You can modify the color of the text, the position, what exactly gets outputted and of course the font. You can also modify VoglPerf's as well (I've done it), but it requires messing with source code. GLXOSD is simply adjusting parameters via the glxosd.conf text files. :)

P.S: If you enjoy using GLXOSD, let the dev know on Github! I don't want him to stop working on it, it's a great piece of software. We need tools that rival Rivertuner and FRAPS.

Quoting: liamdawe1920x1080, 337.25 drivers.

Thank you, just needed the info for my own understanding of where the performance is at over different hardware :)

May I know what resolution you're running it at? (1080p?) And what driver you're currently on?

It's a shame that it performs like that on just medium settings. That really shouldn't be the case (it would be understandable if that was max settings). I'll go give the beta a go and see if I notice any improvements on my end or not.

Ps. How the hell do you get voglperf to build on Ubuntu/Mint to get a benchmark?

It's unnecessary if you're just looking for the Frames Per Second to show up. Use GLXOSD instead.

• To install it, follow this easy guide page's information:
  http://nickguletskii.github.io/GLXOSD/install.html [External Link]



• Once installed, right click Witcher 2 in Steam and click Properties. Click 'Set Launch Options' and enter this then hit ok:
  

  glxosd --steam %command%




• Now, just run the game and see the fps.

Now, these instructions might change in the future since the tool is still in development. This does work for me now, I tried it with Space Hulk as well to see the FPS. If you're looking to log the fps though, then VoglPerf would be the choice.

Quoting: liamdaweI was thinking of trying it with some heavy metal...see how that works out :P

Now that's an idea I can get behind! Some Trivium, Metallica or A7X for my tastes :D

Quoting: Armand RaynalOk Guys, reading you i was wondering if I was dumb, so I made a video to show you that, on my setup, it does not work.

Three quick questions. First, are you plugged into a USB 2 or USB 3 slot? It might make a difference, although unlikely as both work for me.

Secondly, is it certain that the USB cable you are using is not faulty in any way? I've had black USB cables like this work with some devices and not others, making me think the other devices were broken. It was just a shoddy USB cable, which is why I bought this new one.

Third, after plugging in the DualShock 3 controller, have you held down the PS button until a menu appears in SteamOS? That's usually what I have to do initially to get it recognized for input.

These are just some steps I would advise when attempting to troubleshoot why it doesn't work. Have you navigated to the controller section in SteamOS via keyboard+mouse whilst the PS3 controller is plugged in? Does it say PS3 controller or nothing at all?

I truly wonder when they started facing financial woes. Was it after Crysis 3? Or was it due to Ryse? You'd think these exclusive deals with EA and Microsoft would make them rich beyond comprehension, but it doesn't seem so. I wonder if it was Warface's doing?

Quoting: Armand RaynalMy favorite controller, the Sixaxis/dualshock 3, is not supported either on SteamOS or on big picture on windows(expect if i use DS3 tool).

I have to agree with Tak that the PS3 dualshock 3 controllers work fine with SteamOS. I tested it just now on the latest Alchemist update to make double sure of it.
Here's me controlling my buggy goat with it on SteamOS:

Here's me maneuvering the SteamOS menu's with the DualShock 3 SixAxis:

SteamOS even detects it as a PS3 controller right off the bat:

All I did to get it working was connect it via a cheap USB cable (seen here):

Wireless is of course another thing entirely, and I don't have any bluetooth connectors for it to begin with.

Quoting: sevenIs there a big difference between terraria and starbound? i own starbound and thought the multiplayer was quite fun (now im waiting for the devs to complete the game)

From my experience, Starbound is very futuristic. The way you build things also differs quite a bit. Other than that though, I'm unsure. I haven't played Starbound too much, since I want to wait till it's completed before putting hours into it.

I fear it is too late for me. I already finished every possible "quest" in the game, and have gone through all tiers of items and bosses (through Wine and Windows). Definitely a fun game, but only really fun if you're playing with friends. If Redigit adds more content alongside the Linux release, then that would be a reason for me to jump back in.

What I'm looking forward to now is the completion of Starbound :)
(even thinking about getting Magicite, anyone think it's fun?)
