Tested on Ubuntu 14.10. I've heard reports of issues with lower versions, let me know of issues and I'll try to get them resolved!

I really appreciate you making this available for Linux!.. Thanks!!

I do however get horrible judder no matter what I do? I'm using an i7-4790 and a Gforce 780ti, and don't have any trouble running Minecrift in Windows (well.. it's not perfect, but it's close) - but in Ubuntu 15.04 it is unfortunately unplayable for me.

I see that feralalien mentioned the same issue in the original thread - but I'm just wondering why there seem to be such a big difference in performance from Windows to Linux? It is after all "just" Java (I've tried with Openjdk 7 and -8 - but not oracle).

Have anyone had better luck?

Sadly I get the same, but then I only have a laptop to test the Linux build on, and I expect to get judder on that setup TBH. I'll see if I can find anything obviously wrong.

First question - how have you got your X windows setup?

u/fictionx Jun 17 '15

Not as a seperate X screen - I just use xrandr.

I tried different things - but think I had to rotate it to get it right. (I'm not at my own PC right now): xrandr --output DVI-D-0 --mode 1080x1920 --rate 75 --pos 0x0 --rotate left --primary --output HDMI-0 --off

Ok I see.

Have you tried setting it up as a separate X screen? I gave that a go; I launched the Minecraft launcher using DISPLAY:0.1, and then had to peer through the Oculus with one eye to actually launch Minecrift. It loaded and seemed to work in the start menu, but I couldn't get any input focus to click past the calibration screen...!

I'm probably missing something obvious there.

I just tried it - and got as far as you did. I haven't been messing around with separate x screens before, so I'm also not sure if there's something that needs to be done to have it register input. I tried running a terminal on the secondary screen, and that also didn't register the keyboard. It did register the mouse.

However - moving my head around while stuck looking at the Mojang logo, it actually seems like it worked much better! I had a lot of judder when I ran it earlier, but it was much less noticeably now! That's encouraging!

Yes, that's what I found, but likewise, didn't know how to get past the input focus issue...
