QGameX

QGameX is a tool for launching games, optionally in a separate X11 session. It has a configuration GUI (Qt 4), which is used for profile generation by setting certain options (see screenshots). The game itself can be simply run later by PROFILE=myprofile qgamex game-command game-args.

Common issues

Many users experience permission problems when trying to use qgamex. If you receive the "user not authorized to run the X server" error message, modify /etc/X11/Xwrapper.config to contain allowed_users=anybody. If you get access denied or other error messages, verify that the /usr/bin/Xorg binary has the setuid bit set (just execute chmod +s /usr/bin/Xorg and start qgamex again).
