OpenGL Overlay ============== The OpenGL overlay works by intercepting the call to switch buffers, and just before the buffer switch we draw our nice GUI. To load a game with the overlay enabled, start the game as this: LD_PRELOAD=/path/to/libmumble.so.1.0.0 gamename If you have Mumble installed through the binary packages, this can be done by simply typing: mumble-overlay gamename Global Keyboard Events ====================== Unlike Windows, there is no easy way to monitor all key and mouse events under X11. At the moment, Mumble uses the Xevie extension to accomplish this, but unfortunately that extension is disabled by default. To enable it (and push-to-talk), add the following to your xorg.conf: Section "Extensions" Option "XEVIE" "Enable" EndSection Without Xevie, we would have to either: a) [Normal events] Accept shortcuts only when Mumble was the active application, making it useless for gaming. b) [XGrabKey] Accept only key-down of specific combinations, so that you could bind Ctrl-S to "toggle send speech". No binding of keyup in normal X11.
