[05:12] <shifter> anyone about ?
[01:13] <rodarvus> infinity, ping
[01:29] <infinity> rodarvus: Hrm?
[01:30] <rodarvus> infinity, I'm plannning to update the fglrx driver on linux-restricted-modules, but couldn't find any public download of the .tar.gz tree we use to package this driver
[01:30] <rodarvus> and I've seen you were the last person to update it
[01:30] <infinity> rodarvus: I'll do it on Monday.  I run fglrx on my laptop, so it's a bit of a priority for me.
[01:30] <rodarvus> so, I was wondering if you know the procedure to update this driver, if via another ftp/www site, or if we just repack the default installer
[01:31] <rodarvus> *nods*, ok
[01:31] <infinity> rodarvus: It's also moderately tricky what we do to mangle it, and only Ben and I are privvy to that currently.
[01:31] <rodarvus> :)
[01:31] <infinity> (It includes a pretty sketchy license violation that we have tacit permission to make, but not public agreement)
[01:31] <infinity> So, yeah.  Best to leave it to me for now.
[01:32] <rodarvus> ok, thanks!
[01:32] <rodarvus> infinity, also, it would be nice to at least update Depends: to xorg-server (>= 1:1.1.1)
[01:32] <rodarvus> (if I read correctly, version 8.27 of the driver is for X.Org 7.1 only)
[01:33] <infinity> Well, their module SHOULD support 6.9, 7.0, and 7.1
[01:33] <infinity> You read incorrectly, I think.  But I'll test that theory when I build it.
[01:33] <rodarvus> and how does it deals with xorg-server ABI - it just ignores whatever ABI the server provides?
[01:33] <rodarvus> (just curious)
[01:34] <infinity> Both the nvidia and fglrx modules adjust to the ABI (well, the ones they know about) on the fly, IIRC.
[01:34] <infinity> It's all rather scary.
[01:34] <rodarvus> haha :)
