I heard about some new stuff called "search engines" yesterday, and they sound really cool! Maybe they can help you? ;)

I did search for it. DuckDuckGo had zero links to Frapix, only to Fraps. I just tried searching on Google instead of DuckDuckGo and after 4 links that had no download links to Frapix there finally was one. Assuming I didn't search first only makes you look rude.

Use this then: http://code.fluffytapeworm.com/projects/libglfps (because there's no such thing as Synaptic)

Quoting: PublicNuisanceI'm looking for a Linux alternative for FRAPS simply for seeing a games FPS. Any suggestions ? Not trying to hijack the thread.

Try voglperf.

Frapix is only availabe in source code (there is a tab in the web page that states «source»). You'd need a svn client to get the source code (in ubuntu install subversion) and then compile it yourself. This might be somewhat advanced computer stuff, so if the other alternatives work for you, then you'd better try with the others.

theres glxosd and voglperf

for steam games theres fps counter in the steam settings, which you can enable.
you can also add a non-steam game into steam and use it. this is probably the simplest solution.

I just saw that mumble overlay also can show your frames per second, so that might be the easiest solution af all. Just load mumble and enable overlay in the configure options.

Good tip!

yeah but you need both 32 and 64bit overlays then, cause 64bit one doesnt work on 32bit games and vice versa.

The Steam idea may be the easiest to implement. I have never compiled a program on Linux so anything that requires that isn't high on my list. It sucks because I would prefer not to use Steam but it doesn't really violate my DRM values ebcause I'm not buying the games from Steam.
