A version of ioquake3 that runs on bare Linux KMS, with raw evdev for input: no X11, no Wayland. OpenGL ES 1.0 is used for rendering, through EGL.
Another setting relevant to input is kmsterm. This is useful when launching
ioquake3 from the Linux console, to prevent keyboard input from ending up in
the terminal: it will set up the terminal to eat all console input during the
kms event loop. It defaults to 0.
seta kmsterm "1"
Optionally (for debugging) the client can run in X11 mode. This will render into a full-screen X window instead of KMS.
The option will only be effective if the client was built with USE_X11
compilation flag.
seta x11 "1"
Note that this does not affect the input subsystem, just the rendering.
Install a suitable set of game data (pk3) like the original Quake3 or
openarena and put it in ~/.q3a/baseq3.
