In this tutorial I’ll introduce you a new project, FSGamer<\/b>, which can improve full screen gaming in Ubuntu Linux (still in alpha).<\/p>\n

\"FSGamer<\/a><\/p>\n

FSGamer<\/b> runs games in their own X server, which can improve the speed, reduce annoying interruptions, and make switching between fullscreen games and your desktop easy and reliable.<\/p>\n

To install this tool, click to download the deb<\/a> and then follow below steps:<\/p>\n

1.) First, install from the deb package, assuming it is in Downloads:<\/p>\n

sudo dpkg -i ~\/Downloads\/fsgamer_0.1.1_all.deb<\/pre>\n
2.) Allow FSGamer to start extra X server:<\/p>\n
sudo cp \/etc\/X11\/Xwrapper.config \/etc\/X11\/Xwrapper.config.backup<\/pre>\n
sudo gedit \/etc\/X11\/Xwrapper.config<\/pre>\n
then change the line allowed_users=console<\/b> to allowed_users=anybody<\/b>.<\/p>\n
3.) Allow audio to work in the new X server (change $USER to your username):<\/p>\n
sudo usermod -a -G audio $USER<\/pre>\n
After the previous step, you may have to reboot in order for the audio settings to take effect.<\/p>\n
NOTE: This is alpha quality software. It is also very sloppily written, and may crash everything and make you cry. So save your work! :)<\/b><\/p>\n
