gamescope is a port of steamcompmgr as Wayland compositor.
Configure with meson and build with ninja.
After building you can launch it directly on a VT or from another Wayland/X11 session in nested mode. At the moment the following operation modes are supported:
- With Steam integration.
- To test other X11 clients on it.
Start gamescope with the -e
flag and start Steam with it like:
gamescope -e -- steam -tenfoot -steamos
Launch other clients from a second terminal via DISPLAY=:1 glxgears
assuming gamescope's XWayland instance uses DISPLAY id 1. You can also start Steam this way on it, but the best integration is ensured when running in integration mode.
If you run gamescope on a VT it'll try to use hardware planes if possible. This can be disabled with the -L
flag. For additional debugging information also issue the -d
flag. You can also force a resolution with the -w
and -h
parameters. Together a command to run gamescope from a VT with layers, debugging and in 4K would be for example:
gamescope -e -d -w 3840 -h 2160 -- steam -tenfoot -steamos
You can use this command also in a nested session. The -L
, -d
parameters will be ignored then.
