Yea.. i dunno.. I was running Mint 17 when I posted the other day about the AA. Same nvidia drivers.. same xorg.conf.. just a fresh install of the same.. but AA is working. No clue haha.

I got a new SSD yesterday and did a fresh install of mint 17 cinnamon for the hell of it.. Fired up ksp and AA is working now?! Im running the same exact xorg.conf from the previous install as I copied it over.. so I dont know why its working and I don't care haha =) No more jaggies!!

Figured I would try here before starting a thread. I recenly setup tripple monitors for a total 5760x1080 res. I prefer playing in linux because I only boot windows to play games I can't with linux. Anyhow. KSP in win goes full screen on all three no problems. With linux I cannot select the res in settings and if I manually input them into the settings.cfg it only loads on one monitor though it's only what would be displayed on that monitor if it was spanned across them all.. ie. the first 1920 of the total 5760 width. So i cannot see the loading or menu at the menu screen as they "should" be on the middle monitor. I fly in X-plane via xinit with linux all the time and it renders across all three no problem so I know it's possible.

I know the game renders beautifully at that res with windows. is this some kind of superficial limit to the linux KSP version? EDIT* well i figured it out by searching about unity3d and linux in general. The key is the borderless window. You can enable it by using the -popupwindow switch. Like I said before when I game with linux I like to close out the destop mangers and get to just the command prompt to free my system of every little bit it can. Then I run via xinit. You do this on most distros (the ones ive used) by pressing alt+ctrl+f1. this brings you to the tty1 prompt where you will login and then shutdown your desktop session. Im currently using linux mint 17 so I do "sudo service mdm stop" (mdm = mint display manager) for you current ubuntu flavor's you would do "sudo service lightdm stop". this closes out everything but the "base" linux system so all our power and resources are available to the game. I have the following script in my home directory and it is just named ksp. then you #!/bin/bash xsetroot -xcf /usr/share/icons/DMZ-Black/cursors/left_ptr 8 #you need to make this point to a proper cursor file to use for the game or you will get no cursor. The 8 the cursor size.. change to liking. xset s off #this disables the screen saver.. don't want it coming on while playing. xset -dpms #this disables power management so that the screen(s) do not blank or go into standby mode while playing lsusb #mainly here for debugging purposes. /home/damadone/.local/share/Steam/SteamApps/common/Kerbal\ Space\ Program/KSP.x86_64 -popupwindow #command to run the game. change location as needed # end of script This should work for any ubuntu based distro. 1.) alt+ctrl+f1 2.) login 3.) sudo service mdm stop (replace mdm with your dm(ie. lightdm)) 4.) cd ~ 4.) xinit ./ksp 5.) after you close ksp you will be back at the command prompt 6.) sudo service mdm start (replace mdm with your dm(ie. lightdm)) 7.) w00t back at the desktop. KSP runs perfectly smooth across all three monitors @ 5760x1080 when run this way.. I have a pretty beastly system with 2 gtx580's and it stutters and lags when run at only 1920x1080 from within the "desktop mode" If you are going to play a native linux game you might as well run it this way as you are basically giving all of your resources to the game and there is nothing much else going on in the background to cause stutters and lag in game. hope this will help someone out. You can take that script.. modify it to launch about anything. EDIT AGAIN* Any idea when AA is going to be fixed?

I am new to KSP and have been mostly lurking the forums for learning purposes, but I finally signed up to say WOW! I have watched countless KSP videos the last few weeks and while there were a lot of awesome ones, this one pretty much made me sh*t myself. Well thought out.. spectacular module design.. and amazing execution. I don't feel ready to put that many mods into my KSP yet, but I hope in the not too distant future I can be half as good as what I saw in the video. So much inspiration here. GREAT job!
