[02:13] <BenC> fabbione: ping
[02:31] <cjb> BenC: Evenin'.  17" Powerbook, huh?
[02:40] <BenC> yeah
[04:48] <BenC> fabbione: I have working sound on my pb
[04:58] <BenC> now I have working trackpad
[07:47] <triceratops> Is there a known problem with /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist in linux-image2.6.15-8-k7? Here the evbug module is always loaded but it is blacklisted.
[07:58] <triceratops> Aany hint how I stop evbug loading at bootup with linux-image2.6.15-8-k7?
[07:58] <crimsun> does -9- not work for you?
[08:00] <triceratops> crimsun: I had -9 before and thought it was because of using -9...
[08:00] <triceratops> crimsun: :-)
[08:01] <triceratops> crimsun: I've removed evbug via rmmod an did a depmod -a and update-modules
[08:02] <triceratops> crimsun: What is a bit anoying for me is that evbug don't show up in /var/log/boot
[08:03] <triceratops> crimsun: It would be helpfull for me to have a starting point what causes evbug to load
[08:03] <crimsun> did you place it in /etc/modules?
[08:04] <crimsun> cat /proc/cmdline
[08:06] <triceratops> crimsun: /etc/modules, no. 
[08:06] <triceratops> crimsum: cat /proc/cmdline ->> 'root=/dev/hda3 ro splash quiet'
[08:08] <triceratops> crimsun: It is not a big problem itm, but I better don't forget to rmmod evbug. logcheck send me an 250MB mail some days agoo... ;-/
[08:12] <triceratops> crimsun: It's more a sportive challenge to learn why and how evbug is loaded. I will try it on a fresh installed dapper machine over the3  weekend. In the moment it's a breezy machine, updated to dapper
[08:13] <crimsun> it's not in /etc/mkinitramfs/modules, is it?
[08:13] <crimsun> I also have a Breezy->Dapper system, and evbug isn't loaded.
[08:13] <triceratops> crimsun: /etc/mkinitramfs/module is empty here
[08:15] <triceratops> crimsun: The problem first occured after I installed network-manager. Thougt it's time to give it another try...
[08:18] <triceratops> crimsun: dmesg has a lot of 'evbug.c: Event. Dev: isa0060/serio0/input0, Type:$foo' lines and 'evbug.c: Disconnected device: isa0060/serio0/input0' + 'evbug.c: Disconnected device: isa0060/serio1/input0'
[03:12] <zul> morning
[05:39] <fabbione> hey BenC !
[05:39] <fabbione> BenC: push your tree! i want sound and touchpad :P
[05:40] <zul> how is the laptop BenC 
[05:48] <fabbione> hey zul
[05:49] <zul> hey fabbione how is it going?
[05:49] <fabbione> zul: not too bad actually
[05:49] <fabbione> i got mythtv in a decent setup
[05:49] <zul> good to hear...good christmas?
[05:49] <fabbione> nah
[05:49] <fabbione> boring as hell
[05:50] <zul> oh...i have wirelesss at home now..
[05:50] <fabbione> we were at my mother in law's
[05:50] <zul> ouch..
[05:50] <fabbione> and no internet
[05:50] <zul> BenC: that rt2500usb works
[05:50] <zul> hehe
[05:50] <fabbione> i have wireless too, but i don't use it much
[05:50] <jbailey> BenC: Here's another person yelling random things at you!
[05:51] <zul> i use it all the time now...nfs works great with it as well
[05:51] <fabbione> *cough*
[05:51] <fabbione> zul: what kind of wireless did you get?
[05:51] <zul> well it does
[05:51] <fabbione> i am on 11Mb and nfs sucks
[05:51] <zul> dlink *mumble* *mumble*..
[05:51] <zul> works for me at least
[05:52] <fabbione> one of the station is about 3 feet from the base station
[05:52] <zul> wirless g i think
[05:52] <fabbione> with a fake wall in the middle
[05:52] <fabbione> it can't get more than 6Mbit
[05:52] <zul> works fine at home
[05:52] <fabbione> yeah g should be okish
[05:52] <fabbione> but i have cisco everywhere and it's pissing me off
[05:52] <fabbione> only good thing is that i can run VLANs
[05:52] <fabbione> so i can associate some machines to crappy net
[05:52] <fabbione> and others to real internet
[05:53] <fabbione> with public ips
[05:53] <zul> i dont do anything fancy so it works for me
[05:54] <BenC> whew
[05:55] <BenC> fabbione: sound was a one-time thing, I can't get it working again, but I think it's because of alsa's PMacToonie.conf
[05:55] <BenC> trackpad and function-keys are working great though
[05:55] <fabbione> BenC: oh cool.. that would be a good start
[05:56] <fabbione> did you also get the keyboard to "turn on" if it's dark in the room?
[05:56] <BenC> fabbione: did you notice the screen corruption when switching between X and console?
[05:56] <BenC> fabbione: not yet, that's my next goal after sound
[05:56] <fabbione> BenC: are you using EXA acceleration?
[05:56] <BenC> so far I've done this:
[05:57] <BenC> - Fix for radeon drm corruption (suspend and console switching)
[05:57] <BenC> no, how do you enable that?
[05:57] <fabbione> Section "Device"
[05:57] <fabbione>         Identifier      "ATI Technologies, Inc. Radeon Mobility 9600/9700 M10/M11 (RV350 NP) 0"

[05:57] <fabbione> EndSection
[05:57] <fabbione> but as daniels says.. EXA is unstable
[05:57] <BenC> - USB HID powerbook function key patch
[05:57] <fabbione> it seems to works here
[05:57] <BenC> - Trackpad patch
[05:58] <fabbione> not bad
[05:58] <fabbione> the EXA accell will workaround the XAA <-> cairo drawing problem
[05:59] <fabbione> so X will actually refresh properly
[05:59] <BenC> cool, I was wondering about the background artifacts
[05:59] <BenC> let me restart X
[06:01] <zul> *cough* hotplug patches..
[06:01] <BenC> much better
[06:02] <BenC> zul: bah, powerbook takes precedence, especially when I'm still on canonical leave :)
[06:02] <zul> hehe..
[06:03] <BenC> fabbione: we need that enabled by default for radeon it seems, because these artifacts show up on my G5 when booting the livecd, and on my G4 before I hacked around it somehow by accident
[06:03] <BenC> s/radeon/ati*/
[06:03] <fabbione> BenC: it's a bug in the FB code of xserver
[06:03] <fabbione> i have a patch to test from daniels
[06:03] <fabbione> but didn't get around it yet
[06:04] <fabbione> but it is a very well known problem
[06:04] <BenC> it's funny, terrasoft was trying to get yellow-dog running on this system before sending it to me
[06:04] <fabbione> eeheheh
[06:04] <BenC> I told them to forget it and ship it
[06:04] <mjg59> People still use yellowdog?
[06:04] <fabbione> mjg59: apparently...
[06:04] <BenC> they send you a USB mouse with it because they know that the trackpad is broken under Linux :)
[06:05] <fabbione> ahahhaha
[06:05] <BenC> mjg59: my pb had ydl on it, 2.6.15-rc5 in fact
[06:05] <fabbione> i bought mine with the laptop, because i generally don't like toucpads
[06:05] <BenC> touchpads only useful to me on the couch, or on a plane
[06:05] <fabbione> BenC: so i can pull from kernel.org
[06:06] <BenC> fabbione: haven't pushed yet
[06:06] <fabbione> BenC: exactly.. i tend to use them as less as possible
[06:06] <BenC> I haven't even commited this stuff into my tree, just hacking on a live build
[06:06] <fabbione> because they tend to get broken very fast
[06:06] <fabbione> ah ok
[06:06] <BenC> I _need_ sound
[06:06] <fabbione> ehhehe
[06:06] <BenC> it sucks that it worked once
[06:06] <fabbione> can't you remember how did you get it working?
[06:07] <BenC> guy on l-k reported the same thing, worked once, and then oopses everytime after
[06:07] <BenC> I fixed the oopses, but no sound is back
[06:07] <fabbione> humpf
[06:08] <BenC> I need to find a set of headphones
[06:08] <BenC> I think it's just that it is going to the wrong output
[06:08] <fabbione> i could test that easily
[06:10] <BenC> you should be able to test it with your system
[06:10] <BenC> no patches
[06:10] <fabbione> ok
[06:11] <fabbione> did you play with any config file?
[06:12] <BenC> from what I've heard, with the stock driver, things work with headset, but not speakers
[06:12] <fabbione> ok i can test that easily tomorrow
[06:13] <fabbione> i have been playing all day with the mythtv setup and i am not really in the mood for more testing today
[06:13] <fabbione> lirc is a royal pain 
[06:13] <fabbione> we should consider at least including the kernel drivers 
[06:19] <BenC> sweet, there was a bug in PMacToonie.conf, fixed in their CVS...I fixed it wrong
[06:19] <BenC> brb
[07:16] <zul> bah
[07:40] <BenC> now I'm confused
[07:40] <BenC> sound is working again, but not because of my changes :/
[07:40] <dilinger> check the cable? ;p
[07:41] <BenC> it's built-in on the laptop :P
[07:42] <dilinger> hehe
[07:57] <BenC> fabbione: pushed my changes
[10:33] <fabbione> BenC: cool
[10:33] <BenC> fabbione: sound is going to take a bit
[10:33] <fabbione> no problem
[10:33] <BenC> it seems it needs a mix of two different chip types, I have to use one to set the mixer settings, but the other chip type operates the actual pcm
[10:34] <BenC> fortunately I still have macosx on here, so I can rumage through that driver and see what's up
[10:34] <fabbione> ah
[10:43] <BenC> nice having my home/end/pgup/pgdown keys back though
[10:43] <BenC> brightness keys work too
[10:43] <BenC> definitely need to hack to glowing keys
[10:44] <BenC> once I get them working, I can probably use pbbuttonsd to do the auto fade/bright for the backlight and keys
[10:45] <BenC> bbl
[11:46] <BenC> mjg59: ping
