smtty

A minimal TTY "Steam Machine" launcher that runs Steam Big Picture inside gamescope on a chosen monitor, with configurable internal resolution (including 4:3 / 16:10 stretch) and saved per-user settings.

IMPORTANT:

• Steam cannot be running in any other session or smtty will fail.

• Make sure “Enable GPU accelerated rendering in web views” is enabled in Steam, or Steam notifications can cover the entire screen with a black image when running under gamescope.

Steam Big Picture overlay cursor quirk (gamescope)

• On my setup the game only consistently re-grabs raw mouse input if the mouse is moving while I close the Steam Big Picture overlay.
• If I close the overlay with the mouse perfectly still, the game often fails to re-grab the cursor and the camera or aim can feel stuck or pinned to an edge.
• In other words, the current dumb workaround is to jiggle the mouse while opening and closing Steam Big Picture so the game can re-grab the cursor.
