KSP and Linux

Okay, what I do is this.

Open Synaptic.

Click "Settings".

Click "Repositories".

You'll get a "Software & Updates" box, the first tab has checkboxes for the main, universe, restricted and multiverse repos, tick'em all.

The next tab is called "Other Software", other repos are here, so if you want to add a new repo just click "Add" and paste in the repo from the site where you found it, you'll see other repos there already so you can get an idea what they look like, but lets say you want SimpleScreenRecorder, you'd add this line:

"http://ppa.launchpad.net/maarten-baert/simplescreenrecorder/ubuntu"

Close "Software & Updates", hit "Reload", find what you want with the "Quick Filter" box, tick it and apply

Ok. I seem to have found version 349 of nVidia's drivers.... and installed them fairly easily. I noticed a little lag in KSP when shifting the view with the mouse so I'm going to try seeing if changing the mouse polling rate, as found in Sal's sig links works. (Question about the polling, does it affect keyboards as well?)

Edit: 349 might have developed some graphical glitches.... The inner ring of the angle tool and offset tool is a bright magenta... But other than that, it seems to work well. I will have to see how 346 works in comparison.

Yeah it's magenta for me as well, I don't know why but the proprietary driver doesn't render those properly, but the open source driver handles them fine.

Mouse polling rate should only affect the mouse, though I have not needed to test it myself, I don't own a high end gaming mouse
