| mvo | bryce: could you please check if glxinfo works for you in a vesa driver session? it seems to kill my xsession here and I wonder if that is just my local setup | 03:13 |
| seb128 | mvo: what videocard do you have? | 03:18 |
| seb128 | mvo: do you have a binary driver diverting libGL installed? | 03:18 |
| mvo | seb128: r200 ati, but I set it to vesa to test this new compiz-by-default stuff | 03:18 |
| seb128 | if that's case, does it happen without it? | 03:19 |
| mvo | let me check | 03:19 |
| seb128 | I've seen some glxinfo crashes to libGL from closed source drivers when cleaning some bugs previous cycle | 03:19 |
| mvo | it kills my session at once | 03:20 |
| mvo | pretty amazing | 03:20 |
| mvo | eh, what would be the best way to detect the currently used driver under X? | 03:45 |
| jcristau | grep drivers /proc/$(pidof X)/maps? :) | 04:10 |

| bryce | mvo, ahh, yes there is a report on that from Marc. I checked it on two of my systems with vesa, but it did not crash X | 06:20 |
| bryce | mvo, however I found an upstream bug report on it | 06:21 |
| mvo | bryce: cool, can you give me a url ? I want to subscribe :) | 06:23 |
| mvo | bryce: do you have a opinion on howto detect the current runing driver? displayconfig is too clever it seems and just gives me the recommended driver currently | 06:24 |
| mvo | there must be a easier way (I think?) | 06:24 |
| bryce | sure | 06:42 |
| bryce | bug 119341 | 06:43 |
| ubotu | Launchpad bug 119341 in xorg-server "glxinfo command causes Xorg to abort on Dimension E520" [Unknown,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/119341 | 06:43 |
| mvo | bryce: thanks! any idea about the "current-driver-decetion"? I may go with the earlier suggestion of /proc/`pidof X`/maps | 06:46 |
| bryce | that is the only way I know of to do it | 06:49 |
| bryce | I have an email thread from Xorg I can send where that was discussed; I think they suggested a permutation on that | 06:49 |
| bryce | http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg/2007-June/025251.html | 06:52 |
| bryce | yeah here it is: cat /proc/`pidof Xorg`/smaps | grep _dri.so | 06:52 |
| mvo | bryce: ok, thanks | 07:01 |
| bryce | btw, I think I also sorted out some ideas on pciids and whitelisting | 07:01 |
| bryce | lspci -nn displays the pciids | 07:02 |
| bryce | the master list of pciids is at http://pci-ids.ucw.cz/iii/?p=%2A | 07:02 |
| bryce | the ids are composed of $VENDOR:$MODEL | 07:02 |
| bryce | also in general the MODEL numbers are incremental | 07:03 |
| bryce | so we can definitely check ranges of ids, like for $VENDOR==1002 && $MODEL<1234 | 07:03 |
| bryce | mvo or seb128, I've got a new xserver-xorg-video-nv ready for upload; would one of you mind reviewing and sponsoring it for me? http://people.ubuntu.com/~bryce/Uploads/ | 07:09 |
| mvo | bryce: I need to do some shopping now, but I could do that in ~2h (unless seb beats me to it :) | 07:10 |
| bryce | that'd be cool :-) | 07:10 |
| mvo | ok, see you in a bit | 07:11 |

| pwnguin | hi; I'm thinking of adding a feature to nv-- is it dead? I dont see any serious changes in some time | 11:23 |
| bryce | the -nv driver? in fact I'm just about to upload a new version of it | 11:27 |
| bryce | http://people.ubuntu.com/~bryce/Uploads/ | 11:27 |
| bryce | the 2.1.0 nv driver was just released a few days ago | 11:27 |
| pwnguin | oh heh | 11:28 |
| bryce | pwnguin: so yeah, if you have new features, that'd be great to get them in :-) | 11:28 |
| pwnguin | i dont have the code written yet | 11:28 |
| pwnguin | it doesnt look like it would be hard, but i think i'd have to get the "open source" details right | 11:28 |
| pwnguin | and then test | 11:28 |
| === bryce nods | ||
| pwnguin | basically, nv doesnt offer a rotate 180 option | 11:28 |
| bryce | oh yeah getting more of the rotational features correct would be very nice | 11:29 |
| pwnguin | i looked at the patch that added xrandr | 11:29 |
| pwnguin | it was pretty small | 11:29 |
| pwnguin | right now im thinking, grab the build deps and source package for -video-nv | 11:30 |
| pwnguin | but im not sure where to save the work im doing | 11:30 |
| bryce | ok I can explain about this | 11:31 |
| bryce | ok, first, instead of doing apt-get source, I would suggest checking it out from upstream git, like this: | 11:32 |
| bryce | git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/xorg/driver/xf86-video-nv | 11:33 |
| bryce | then go ahead and make your changes locally to that tree | 11:33 |
| bryce | when you're done, you can run the command "git diff > mypatch.diff" to create a patch | 11:33 |
| bryce | I'd be happy to help you when you get to the point of needing to make the patch | 11:34 |
| pwnguin | ok | 11:34 |
| bryce | now, another approach would be to use apt-get source to get the tree, and then save a copy of it. Then later you can use 'diff -u' to identify the changes between the two trees | 11:35 |
| bryce | however I think the git approach is better, and will be easier to do | 11:35 |
| pwnguin | alrighty then | 11:35 |
| pwnguin | the origina xrandr patch was only a few hundred lines of code, so this might be an evening task ;) | 11:36 |
| pwnguin | i'd kinda like to test it personally before sending off patches | 11:36 |
| bryce | yup | 11:38 |
| pwnguin | shoot. looks like i'd have to test on gutsy | 11:38 |
