X.Org 21.1.0 sees a release with Variable refresh rate support in the modesetting driver
28 Oct 2021 at 11:17 am UTC

Thanks for explanation.

The modesetting driver part i could search myself also, but my point actually was that there are so many little things. like if you search for what modesetting driver is, then you get anther set of questions. What is KMS what is DRM..then you search for this and even more new questions arise :)

Quoting: Eike
Quoting: TrainDocI think that this is maintainers realizing some bugs can't just be left to rot and decided to patch up before they leave.
Variable refresh rate support sounds like a major thing to me, though?
But the question is, what did it improve?
VRR has been working on X for long time.. the only issue has been that it has been working only with 1 monitor active.
Does that change that? what the F is modesetting driver, what does it improve for the end user?

Looking good. Just wish there was a model with 5 macro keys on the left side of the keyboard.

I think they just mean the regular EAC SDK update that requires QA and testing.
Probably not gonna test linux specifically.

Quoting: fagnerlnGreat! I don't know about WRC9, but none of KT/Nacon games works (older WRCs and TT), if they use the same engine, it start to work.
WRC8,9,10 work couple of weeks with the proton-experimental.
before that they worked when you changed windows version to win7 in the prefix.
but now everything works, including forcefeedback with logitech wheels

looks like the game isn't anything too great compared to Prey though.

Input mapping tool AntiMicroX 3.1.7 is out with improved Wayland support

Nice. Using this tool to map my Handbreak for Dirt Rally 2.0 and WRC 10. Handbreak sadly is detected with 8 axis and the 8th one is the Handbreak feature, but wine/proton seems to only know up to 5 axis.

EAC/BattlEye support would be sweet. Don't really personally care about handheld gaming devices though. But nice to see some push on linux powered devices. Hopefully it will succeed

Quoting: mrdeathjrrbr custom still works with this driver and last dxvk.......................obiously on X :woot:

Don't you have the Trees disappear issue? Like all the track side objects go invisible after like 1 minute of playing. I used to have that with both wined3d and DXVK last time i tried (~1 year ago)

What have you been tapping play on recently? Let us know

Sea of Thieves (proton) - Didn't think i will like this game tbh, but playing with a friend, its tons of fun. There are few issues on Linux with it though. The player who Hosts the session have to load into the world first. then you go Adventure and closed crew and then accept invite. Otherwise you will get stuck to "locating fresh supplies" ... Runs wonderfully and is loads of fun.

Mafia Definitive Edition (proton) - currently ~9 hours in. Looks good and plays mostly good. Hate the cover button, but i unbounded it and playing it more like the classic. Voiceacting is top notch, story is a bit changed from the original, but follows the same line mostly, just adds more.

Portal: Reloaded (native) - My brain just melts.. im stuck at the 14th of the puzzle. The time traveling adds brain melting difficulty to the puzzles, but its fun.
