I just installed the new Linux mint20 on my testing PC.

just some teaser pics if you want to try it and get rid of your constant problems with banana w10  :harumph:
A whole office suite and a TV-App make it a complete OS ;)
GPL + teamspeak make it the gaming PC..

Super gimmick - GPL running in window- as long in menu - full screen in game!
So you can modify sound devices and NVidia settings being in GPL on the fly !!!

Axel,

Thanks very much for this tutorial.  

I have finally decided to try Linux & GPL on an old PC.   Few small problems along the way, but it's up and working and GPL is very fast considering the age of the PC.

Currently stuck on pribluda.  I'm getting garbled text (see screenshot below).  Any clues from your experiences?  I have added TrueType fonts and tried some changes in pribluda.ini, but haven't fixed it yet.

I remember having similar issues... I think the thing I changed was the following line in the pribluda.ini:

outlineOpenglFont = 1

before it was = 0 ; I guess when you use the Open GL V2 rasterizer you need to change the value into 1, otherwise the text looks garbled.
Apart from that, which fontFace is used in your pribluda.ini? Mine is:
fontFace = Consolas

I just copied my pribluda.ini from my Windows install (also OpenGL).

Font was Courier New but I tried other fonts that were installed on Linux. Tried adjusting a few settings like font size.

Thanks for the feedback, I will try outlineOpenglFont = 1.

I use brr's patched pribluda

My pribluda.ini is beginning with:

Quote

[global]
version = 1.1.2.1
blackBarRatio = 0.1041
boldFont = 0
borderSize = 3
defaultColour = 0xffffff
fontFace = Consolas ; Lucida Console ;
fontSize = 12
overlayBoards = 0
outlineOpenglFont = 1
outlineOpenglFontSize = 12
outlineOpenglFontFactor = 1.8

When the fonts get distorted in Windoze or Linux,
I have to look for the settings of CPU (intel speed step) and GPU (max performance) running in full speed

Thanks guys fixed now.

outlineOpenglFont = 1.  Helped a bit.  The font was readable but still smudged

Changed to "fontFace = Consolas"  and it's working.

Is there a tutorial on how to get your G27 H-Shifter working on Linux Mint 20 MATE? I'm stuck at that point...

I've got Fairshift installed via Wine but it doesn't want to work. :( I'll try again and update you later. The program starts and then returns to desktop.

Maybe we need help from the wine forum guys, imo it has to do with the way how G27 is implemented in wine control ( event - js )?

Other way could be using an arduino and make the shifter a standalone device - https://www.youtube....h?v=62ETwZq3P4Q

I have some Arduinos and shifters here...
