You can use ET switch :

Get this : http://hem.bredband.net/b400150/etswitch/etswitch-0.1.14.tar.gz

Then open your console and enter :

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install build-essential xserver-xorg-dev libxxf86vm-dev libxpm-dev libxmu-dev

Then extract and complie using those cmds :

Code: Select all

tar xvzf etswitch-0.1.14.tar.gz
cd etswitch-0.1.14/
sudo ./configure --prefix=/usr
sudo make install
sudo chmod 777 /usr/bin/etswitch
sudo chmod -R 755 ~/.etswitch

If you succeeded those steps, you have now to bind your etswitch in order it works during the game :

Code: Select all

etswitch -c

Then final step, you must had a command line in your ET start script (which you prolly already have). Your launch script should looks like this :

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash

echo "et.x86 0 0 direct" > /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/oss  // line which redirect ET sound to oss sound manager
echo "et.x86 0 0 disable" > /proc/asound/card0/pcm0c/oss   // id.

etswich &  // this is the line which launch your ET switch when you're execing your ET script
et "$*"  // line which launch ET

Well from my part i use a way more simple method but which was reported as not working by many ubuntu users ... Anyway here is what i do to minimize ET :

- just do Alt+ENTER during game >> it minimizes your game as expected but your mouse pointer disappears as well when you're on your desktop
- to get back your pointer just push your console bind (usually ² on keyboard) and the mouse pointer should magically appeared

(you can also open you console before doing Alt+ENTER of course)

Hope it'll help you.
