Geelauncher simplifies the login process for gamers by allowing them to access their games directly from GDM. The software offers a convenient tool for gamers to log in and play their favorite games with ease.
The GDM Game Launcher is a handy Perl script that enables users to log directly into games whilst ensuring maximum RAM and CPU power is allocated to the game. The script features an XML config file for centralized control of a variety of options, including support for controlling driver settings for Nvidia cards. For more information regarding the setup and operation of the script, refer to the README file.
To run the GDM Game Launcher, you must first download and install Perl and XML::Simple software. Once installed, copy the "geelauncher.pl" file to a location on your path, such as /usr/bin. Then, edit the "geelauncher.xml.example" file to fit your requirements and save it as "/etc/geelauncher.xml".
The GDM Game Launcher is simple and easy to use. To launch a game, provide the script with the --game commandline option, specifying the name of the game. Alternatively, should you require .desktop files for all defined games, simply run the "geelauncher --makedesktop" command as root. This will create the necessary files in "/usr/share/xsessions". Once created, log out of X, select the game from GDM's session menu, and begin playing.
Should you wish to create slightly different settings for a game, simply create a ~/.geelauncher.xml file for any user preferences. The launcher will prioritize user settings over system-wide configurations.
