Script to help games run smoother.

Im trying to figure out how to have a script shutdown Xwindow extras and then launch the game, then when the game is shutdown those extras are restarted.

I mainly want to shutdown xcompmgr and re start it after I shutdown the game.

How could this be done?

are you running a window manager like gnome or kde? I happen to know these are huge, memory-intensive systems

i don't know if it would fulfill all dependancies of the game but i suggest loking into pwm, which takes up so little memory it's funny.

You could always shut down your xserver completly and use xgame to launch games from the command line.

It starts an X server with no WM, just your game.

launch the game in a different X instance.
