| jldugger-tablet | quick check before I dig through launchpad: is acpi mostly broken in feisty? | 02:53 |
|---|---|---|
| jldugger-tablet | damn its annoying to have the brightness low | 02:56 |
| Burgundavia | jldugger-tablet: bugs in laptops are usually very hardware specific | 02:59 |
| jldugger-tablet | true | 02:59 |
| jldugger-tablet | looks like Im getting APIC errors =/ | 02:59 |
| jldugger-tablet | aha | 03:01 |
| jldugger-tablet | found the bug. sounds like an easy fix (upgrade toshiba_acpi.c); maybe i should investigate why toshiba_acpi is a common culprit. is it not in the main tree? | 03:02 |
| mjg59 | No, but it has nothing to do with APIC | 03:12 |
| jldugger-tablet | i didnt really mean to imply the two were related | 03:19 |
| mjg59 | Ah, ok | 03:20 |
| mjg59 | Hm. Looks like toshiba_acpi is missing the Ubuntu-specific patch. | 03:20 |
| mjg59 | I'll chase Ben about that. | 03:20 |
| jldugger-tablet | since ive got an ear, who does the wacom stuff? | 03:21 |
| mjg59 | Me | 03:21 |
| mjg59 | Though I haven't had time to touch it lately | 03:21 |
| jldugger-tablet | understandable | 03:21 |
| mjg59 | For tablet machines, it should Just Work if you install the wacom-tools package | 03:21 |
| jldugger-tablet | convertable | 03:21 |
| jldugger-tablet | it Mostly Just Works | 03:21 |
| mjg59 | Ok | 03:22 |
| mjg59 | What's up, then? :) | 03:22 |
| jldugger-tablet | ive got a Tecra M7; you can convert the screen to a tablet | 03:22 |
| jldugger-tablet | basically rotate the screen 180 degrees | 03:22 |
| mjg59 | Yeah | 03:23 |
| jldugger-tablet | im not sure what's up exactly, but rotating the screen screws up the input | 03:23 |
| mjg59 | So pretty standard | 03:23 |
| mjg59 | Yes | 03:23 |
| mjg59 | The input rotation isn't tied into the screen rotation | 03:23 |
| mjg59 | I keep meaning to look into that | 03:23 |
| jldugger-tablet | people are saying the new version solves it | 03:23 |
| mjg59 | xwacomcfg (or whatever it's called) should let you change that | 03:23 |
| mjg59 | If it does, it's not mentioned in the changelog | 03:24 |
| jldugger-tablet | i have no idea what it's called | 03:24 |
| mjg59 | xsetwacom | 03:24 |
| jldugger-tablet | yea, there's new options | 03:24 |
| mjg59 | The rotation options are in our one | 03:24 |
| jldugger-tablet | xsetwacom -blah HALF | 03:24 |
| mjg59 | Hm | 03:25 |
| mjg59 | Though there's reasonably compelling reasons to update to the newer code anyway | 03:25 |
| mjg59 | They've merged button support | 03:25 |
| jldugger-tablet | yes. i hear it works with USB hotplugging or something | 03:25 |
| mjg59 | Through indescribably ugly hacks | 03:25 |
| jldugger-tablet | does debian's package really suck or something? | 03:25 |
| mjg59 | We'll have input hotplug for feisty | 03:26 |
| mjg59 | And be able to avoid this | 03:26 |
| jldugger-tablet | ive got a script set up to do the rotation, but none of the options for input work. i guess xrandr rotates input as well or something, so even adding in a fix to wacom-tools would be a hack to work around a broken assumption in xrandr | 03:28 |
| mjg59 | xrandr doesn't rotate input | 03:28 |
| jldugger-tablet | then why would i need to rotate input at all? | 03:28 |
| mjg59 | Well, not in the way you expect in this casde | 03:28 |
| mjg59 | You touch the tablet in the top left corner. The driver reports (0,0). | 03:29 |
| mjg59 | But because you've rotated the screen, (0,0) is no longer the same corner as far as the display is concerned | 03:29 |
| jldugger-tablet | so logical vs absolute coordinates | 03:35 |
| mjg59 | Yes | 03:51 |

| jldugger-tablet | expanding tables in the current wiki kinda sucks =/ | 03:55 |
| Fujitsu | Adding extra columns, you mean? | 03:57 |
| jldugger-tablet | yea | 03:57 |
| Fujitsu | Yeah, I've only had to do that once (adding a Feisty column to my LaptopTestingTeam page). | 03:58 |
| Fujitsu | But that did suck. | 03:58 |
| jldugger-tablet | it'll be even worse when the next release comes out | 04:02 |
| jldugger-tablet | my plan is to keep an LTS column, a stable column and a testing / development column | 04:03 |
| === Cheyenne [n=chatzill@ip68-229-175-177.om.om.cox.net] has joined #ubuntu-laptop | ||
| jldugger-tablet | maybe i'll write a script or something that takes a spreadsheet and converts to wikiML | 04:11 |
| Fujitsu | That's what I've done since the start of Feisty (LTS, stable, dev) | 04:18 |
| jldugger-tablet | i just installed feisty last night | 04:20 |
| jldugger-tablet | so do you have an agreement with Fujitsu, or just like em a lot? | 04:20 |
| Fujitsu | I've had Feisty installed since... early November, I think. | 04:21 |
| Fujitsu | Neither. | 04:21 |
| jldugger-tablet | ive had other priorities, like passing classes | 04:21 |
| Fujitsu | Well, I need to test stuff I upload, so it's sort of a requirement. | 04:22 |
| jldugger-tablet | heh | 04:23 |
| Fujitsu | Uploading broken stuff to the archive is sort of not a good idea :P | 04:23 |
| jldugger-tablet | aww, you wouldnt be the first | 04:23 |
| Fujitsu | Heheh. | 04:23 |
| jldugger-tablet | but with great power comes great responsibility | 04:23 |
| jldugger-tablet | for some reason, i thought network manager was gonna disable the keyring crap | 04:25 |
| Fujitsu | Not yet, I think that's scheduled for 0.7. | 04:25 |

| jldugger-tablet | seems so. wonder when NM.7 is planned for release | 04:30 |
| jldugger-tablet | in time for feisty i hope | 04:30 |
| Fujitsu | I believe so. | 04:30 |
