GLXOSD is an extensible on-screen display (OSD)/overlay for OpenGL applications running on Linux with X11 which aims to provide similar functionality to MSI Afterburner/RivaTuner OSD. It can show FPS, frame timings, temperatures and more in OpenGL games and applications. It can also be used to benchmark games, much like voglperf.

How to run glxosd on Mint 17.3 #79

Closed ghtux closed 8 years ago

ghtux commented 8 years ago

LM 17 is based on ubuntu 14.04 and glxosd supports 15+. From the ppa I can install v2.5 and it is working. I see fps and temperature but nothing else. Compiled v3 from source and all Sensors are working in glxgears but not running in games. Got several errors, tried to fix them but finally gave up.

It seems v3 isnt in the ppa, so could you please add it?

licaon-kter commented 8 years ago

v3 is in the PPA for Wily and Xenial, maybe you need to update your APT list entry?

ghtux commented 8 years ago

ppa:nickguletskii200/glxosd

Used this one, update list was done. Opening the ppa it only shows 2.5. So I thought it is because of not running 15+ ubuntu

licaon-kter commented 8 years ago

Like I said, you need either Wily or Xenial as version, check your entry. https://launchpad.net/~nickguletskii200/+archive/ubuntu/glxosd or https://launchpad.net/~nickguletskii200/+archive/ubuntu/glxosd-experimental

First of all, you should never add the glxosd-experimental ppa on a production. I use it to verify if the packages are ready to be released into the main repository. If a version is ready, it is in the main ppa.

Secondly, I haven't had the time to backport GLXOSD v3 to Trusty. I hope that I'll have a little bit more time next week, so I'll see what I can do about it.

Also, it didn't work in games because most games have 32 bit binaries and you were compiling on a 64 bit system, which gave you 64 bit binaries.

Would be nice if you could backport it. THX for help!

GLXOSD v3.1.1 is now available for Ubuntu 14.04 and newer.
