#!/bin/bash # gamescope's own gaming mode on NVIDIA: a patched gamescope that allocates its scan-out buffers with GBM, which cures # the corrupted picture (https://github.com/ValveSoftware/gamescope/issues/2309). The patch and the build recipe are in # patches/ (kept in sync with https://github.com/theupriser/steamify-gamescope-nvidia, where new gamescope versions are # prepared); the package `steamify-gamescope-nvidia` is built here, on the PC, and replaces `gamescope` (it provides it). The patch is opt-in: gamescope reads `gamescope_drm_gbm_scanout=1` from its # environment, which is set for the gaming session (gamescope-session's environment file, and environment.d). # Used by the SteamOS conversion (`gaming_enable`/`gaming_disable`) on every NVIDIA PC (`nvidia_present`); the kernel # parameters and the rest of lib/nvidia.sh's setup only on a supported card (`nvidia_supported`): GTX 16 / RTX 20 series or # newer (Turing and later, what NVIDIA's open kernel driver supports). Tested on an RTX 5080 only. # Sourced by steamify.sh; not meant to be run on its own. GSN_PKG=steamify-gamescope-nvidia # The package this Steamify release was tested with (the recipe in patches/ names the same version): built by CI in # CachyOS's container and published as a release of steamify-gamescope-nvidia.
