How to disable joycons analog stick to act as my mouse cursor?!

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 1 hour 27 min ago

So if you interest to see how much I struggled with getting joycons on linux mint you can check out my other posts. So much time put into figuring out. I got error after error for almost every cmd but I didn't give up! I got it to work now. But one thing I don't know where to begin and I need your help is:

The analog stick acts as my mouse and I control the cursor. How do I disable that so the analog stick only works on games? Right now it works fine but it also acts as my mouse so In games as I move around u can also see the mouse cursor moving all over the place. Thanks!

LG B9 TV, how screwed am I with AMD?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 1 hour 50 min ago

Hi all, I switched from a RTX 3080 to an 9070XT and I'm loving it so far. However I did not research enough and my tv is not class compatible as id assumed. I have a cablematter HDMI dmDP converter, but I'm not getting VRR to show up at all. Is it because the TV is using Gsync? On nobara btw

Headtracking War Thunder help?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 3 hours 39 min ago

Super niche thing I guess but anyone knows if there is anyways to have headtracking on war thunder in linux ofc? Native Linux WT version doesn't support it but in windows it works but War Thunder crashes using any kind of proton layers (experimental, GE, etc). Is it just not doable for now? VR is also busted in Linux on this game.

Please see that your systems comfort with the minimum specifications and ensure you have the latest graphic card drivers installed." I'm lose.

Native SteamVR with ALVR on quest 3

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 3 hours 55 min ago

Hey, I’ve been trying to play truck simulator on my quest but for some reason the dashboard on steam vr only shows the docking option on both current and previous versions. Also, I can’t launch ets2, either it doesn’t launch (the case with proton ets 2 cause native doesn’t have vr support). I tried google earth, which is native, and I just added the launch options alvr told me to add and it worked.

My LMDE 7 setup with Forky repositories

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 4 hours 10 min ago

After a bit of tinkering, I was able to move my LMDE 7 installation to Debian's Forky/testing repositories, and I pinned the Forky repositories to a slightly lower priority level than the Mint repositories, so it basically just pulls in kernels and packages that are newer than Mint's. If any of you want an automated .sh script that updates the repositories safely, something that you can read through and run as a program, feel free to ask and I'll start working on one in a Git repository :

mount vhd's in dolphin ?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 3 Oct 2025 - 11:37pm

Hello,

I run KDE Plasma and i need to play around with a lot of vhd's for my MiSTer FPGA, while i was managing it on windows it was pretty easy, under Linux i seam to be forced to use the terminal, while a terminal is not a problem for doing it every now and then, but mounting 10 or 20 vhd's in an hour to make modifications to my installs its a long process.

Is there someone who knows of a plugin to mount vhd's in the dolphin file manager ?

lsfg-vk isn't working with Wine game (Monster Hunter Frontier)

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 3 Oct 2025 - 10:47pm

I'm trying to get Monster Hunter Frontier Z, runned from Lutris using wine-ge-8.26, at 60fps using lsfg-vk. I have the software bought on Steam and I configured both the .dll path and pointed the exe process on the lsfg-vk profile.

I tried both on fullscreen and windowed mode, opening the program before/after launching the game. None of this worked for me.

The game can be played at 60fps using the program ON WINDOWS, but I'm not willing to dual-boot just for this game heh.

Has anyone got any experience with lsfg-vk? Does it even work with Wine games?

Mouse leaving game window (hyprland)

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 3 Oct 2025 - 10:46pm

Hi,

I've been using Linux for a while and recently switched to Hyprland with the End/4 dotfiles.

I'm encountering an issue where, when launching a game, my cursor moves out of the game window to either my secondary monitor or the edge of the screen. This prevents me from being able to look around in-game.

I'm running Arch Linux with an NVIDIA GPU and an AMD CPU. My current launch options are:
WLR_DRM_NO_ATOMIC=1 gamescope -f -w 2560 -h 1440 -- mangohud %command%

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Fedora Update broke Vulkan shaders?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 3 Oct 2025 - 9:56pm

When the Steam sale started this week, I picked up Total War: Warhammer III, which I've been wanting to play for a while. It worked fine and I played about 4 hours total across 2 different sessions on the native build.

Then the other day, my Software app (Fedora 42) popped up a notification about urgent updates, so I accepted them. After restarting, I have been unable to play the game, as whenever I load into a 3d view (main menu is fine), the game freezes and a pop-up displays which says

Game crashed with signal 6
vkWaitForFences failed:-4
You may be able to relaunch the game to send the crash log automatically.
etc...

This is the case for both my saved games, and multiple attempts at starting a new campaign, so it doesn't appear to be related to a particular faction.

I checked the update history with dnf history list, but that for some reason doesn't show any changes that the Software app makes to the system, and there is no history within the app itself. I have disabled automatic updates from this app and will only be updating from the command line moving forwards.

I've tried downgrading the package mesa-vulkan-drivers but only one previous version is available, and I'm not even sure if that's the one that used to be installed, because again, Software app has no logs.

Any suggestions for how I could troubleshoot this problem?

I do have the latest dump file mentioned in the error message, but no idea how to open them. file says it's a "Mini DuMP crash report", but GDB doesn't recognize the format.
