For anyone that is using FX cpu’s, the npt patch also gives noticeable performance improvements.

If you didn’t see it in the other thread, I posted a video demonstrating the current state of the headless project.

hoooly shit thats amazing. the seamlessness of the mouse cursor is great, my question is will it lock the mouse in during gameplay for fullscreen and+or borderless games in windows, and can you tab out as in native mode.

this is incredible man, great job!!

Can/will this work with multi-monitor setups like Eyefinity and whatever nvidia calls it?

It can, but in it’s initial version it wont.

npt fix is in 4.14.3 as well

I just update to kernel 4.14.5-300.fc27.x86_64, It is the fix included on that kernel or I have to re patched it

I believe it’s in that one, Fedora backported the patch.

I’ve done some extra research and it sounds like a .ko file has some extra information that’s missing from a .o file, so I can’t just rename it. The process for converting a .o to a .ko looked somewhat involved, though, which I figured the instructions would have mentioned.

You can configure the kernel to build modules directly into itself or make seperate modules (.ko) files. If you have the .o (object file) but no module, it is very likely it’s compiled into the kernel, in which case you will have to upgrade your entire kernel to apply the fix.

Yes. The NPT patch is present in kernel 4.14.3 and up. No need to patch it in yourself.
