Start new X server feature in Nexuiz

Postby divVerent » Sun Dec 31, 2006 12:56 pm

Nexuiz now has a feature to start its own X server in nexuiz-linux-glx.sh and nexuiz-linux-sdl.sh (get them from http://svn.icculus.org/%2Acheckout%2A/nexuiz/trunk/nexuiz-linux-glx.sh and http://svn.icculus.org/%2Acheckout%2A/nexuiz/trunk/nexuiz-linux-sdl.sh). To use it, first start Nexuiz with:

Code: Select all
./nexuiz-linux-glx.sh +vid_x11_display :2


This will start Nexuiz on display :2, starting an X server for the display if needed. If Nexuiz successfully exits (without crashing), the option is saved to config.cfg and will be automatically used. To undo, either edit ~/.nexuiz/data/config.cfg or run it like

Code: Select all
./nexuiz-linux-glx.sh +vid_x11_display ""


In some special cases, you may want to specify the ServerLayout section to use for your X server. Then:

Code: Select all
./nexuiz-linux-glx.sh +vid_x11_display :1/nvidia


This will start a new X server on :1 using the "nvidia" ServerLayout. It is not possible to give other options to the X server for security reasons.

Oh, I forgot to add - you need to add some lines to default.cfg for it to be saved. So download http://svn.icculus.org/%2Acheckout%2A/nexuiz/branches/nexuiz-2.0/data/default.cfg to your data directory.
1. Open Notepad
2. Paste: ÿþMSMSMS
3. Save
4. Open the file in Notepad again

You can vary the number of "MS", so you can clearly see it's MS which is causing it.
