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_LIBRARY_PATH=/path/to/overlay_gl/ 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.
