DESCRIPTION

       xracer  is  a  3D  arcade game in the style of the Psygnosis game WipeOut. You have to fly
       around the track without crashing, shooting opposing craft where necessary,  and  arriving
       in first place.

       xracer  requires  a  supported  3D  hardware  accelerator  card and OpenGL or a compatible
       library such as Brian Paul's Mesa.

OPTIONS

       -h, --help
              Display the options and exit.

       -V, --version
              Print the current version number and exit.

       -v, --verbose
              Print verbose messages to stdout about the progress of the  game.  This  can  be  a
              useful aid to debugging.

       -s, --size WIDTHxHEIGHT
              Set the initial screen size.

       -p, --position LEFTxTOP
              Set the position for the initial window placement.

       -f, --fullscreen
              This  option puts the game into full screen mode. In this mode, the game takes over
              the screen and keyboard.

       -j, --joystick DEVICE
              Set joystick device name.

       -L, --nomipmap

BUGS

       The fullscreen option is currently broken on 3Dfx Voodoo Graphics and Voodoo2  accelerator
       cards. Set the MESA_FX_GLX environment to get fullscreen on those boards.
