I really don't get this RGB trend. All the blinking lights is a distraction and totally breaks the immersion. But better support is always welcome, because it means that I can turn the blinking lights off. :D

Let me just say that this is fucking cool, and exactly what we need to make Linux gaming console a reality. I will be very surprised if the next SteamOS will not be (exactly like) GamerOS.

Quoting: MayeulCDo you see lights flicker at 60Hz?

Don't really know what my threshold is, and like you mentioned it most likely depends on the implementation.

I don't think I have ever seen an actual strobing backlight, but some OLED TVs use black frame insertion for blur reduction. And I know some people like it. I personally cannot stand it, because the whole thing just feels flickery.

Quoting: MayeulCI'm considering buying a monitor with strobed backlight to imitate this (AKA blur reduction, or ULMB).

Is this something like the flickery backlight dimming on some panels? Because that messes me up quite bad. Cannot look at it for more than a few seconds.

Quoting: DuncI'm seriously considering going back to a CRT.

No, thank you. I'm quite happy those are getting extinct. I remember having a 19" CRT monitor back in the day, which was huge. And I don't mean the screen estate, which was quite amazing back in the day, but it was the size of a goddamn minifridge.

Quoting: heidi.wengerCould it be possible to integrate somehow, someday to Lutris?

Cannot imagine it ever will. While it is cool, it is basically a hack. Not something for general purpose use.

This is cool. Didn't know about xpra before. Although this will definitely reduce performance, because the script starts a virtual X server via xvfb, which is non-accelerated, and neither is xephyr as far as I know. Not that it matters for pinball.

One thing that would be interesting to try is starting another real X server, and then using xpra to connect to that.

Wonder what is this all about?

yep been playing Euro Truck Simulator 2 a lot lately... my brain is overloaded with the covid19 news.

Euro Truck Simulator 2 is great. I am planning to visit my hometown during the Easter holidays.

DiRT Rally gives me the same anxiety as driving a real car. That's how you know it's good.
