Can I start "No Mesa, no Pesos?" Haha.

Or Jar Jar style; "No Mesa, me-sa no buy!"

Quoting: BeamboomIt's a shame and horrible to admit, but I do feel a slight hint of wish to return to Windows gaming. Only in brief moments mind you, and only very weak blips, but they do appear whenever I read about VR.

That's why I'm trying to get GPU pass-through working. Windows in a VM under linux doesn't seem as dirty as it is native. I look forward to the day (it's getting ever so close) that WINE/Native games pick up to the point I can completely replace windows for gaming. I'm going to try getting any game working on Linux first before installing on Windows.

Quoting: EhvisSince "walking while standing still" is the most common cause of nausea with VR, I'm wondering how they solved that in this game.

I have a HTC Vive (haven't managed to try it under Linux yet, still trying to get GPU pass through working) and I can say that most games use limited walking within the play area (for room scale) and then "teleportation" using the trackpads on the Vive controllers to point where you want to go. I suffer from very sensitive motion sickness due to a concussion and can report that as long as the frame rate is rock solid (90 fps) I do not get sick. If games don't properly set up their FOV/motion blur/other effects, that can change though. The only game I've had that issue in is Trickster VR.

I got my scripts working.

The GDM presession script determines which monitor configuration (according to my workplace's unique configurations) is present and disables the secondary monitor until login is achieved at which point the other script takes over and detects again what configuration is present and re-initializes the previously disabled display to be the desired dual monitor configuration.

I've been trying to combat this problem for a different use case (hundreds of dual monitor workstations) and I had a solution that works using GDM Init/PreSession scripts...only when SELinux is in permissive mode. For whatever reason the GDM script will not run xrandr if SEL is enforcing (throws permission errors but they (as well as the SELcontexts) are correct for /etc/gdm/Presession).

Here's the older versions of the scripts. Haven't finalized the newer version. I gave up on GDM presession and am now writing the script for /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/ as it works from there. Note the set -- command is flawed, but you get the idea.

Instabought. Can't wait to see how it runs on an i7 3770 + 1050Ti (OC'd)
