jcristau"Added a conflicts of libgl1-mesa-glx against libgl1-mesa-swx11, and vice versa" wtf? they both have Provides/Conflicts: libgl110:52
brycehobbsee had trouble getting it installed and added that to solve the conflict she had10:54
jcristaui don't understand10:55
jcristaui can't see how that would change anything10:55

brycepulling up the irc convo, one sec11:03
brycehttp://pastebin.ca/59428511:09
jcristauyeah, still don't understand how adding a redundant conflict would help11:12
jcristaulibgl1-mesa-swx11-i686's shlibs are fucked up, though11:12
bryceI'm guessing it was due to installing via individual .debs rather than through apt, but I'm not sure11:12
jcristauyeah11:12
jcristaui'll fix the shlibs thingy in 7.0-111:12
brycedoes the change cause any issues?11:13
jcristauno, it's just useless11:13
brycebtw I found a minor bug in dexconf with xorg - there's a for loop missing its done.  11:17
bryceline 473 or so11:17
=== pwnguin wonders how that qualifies as minor
bryceminor as in a one-line fix ;-)11:18
brycemajor in terms of potential harm11:18
jcristaubryce: also, re: your mail on xorg@, see /usr/share/doc/xserver-xorg-core/NEWS.Debian.gz11:19
brycejcristau: also I had a question - VMWare has sent me a handy util for detecting if the vmware mouse driver should be used instead of the mouse driver.  I'm wondering where the best place to house such a thing would be?  xorg-server/hw/xfree86/utils/ ?11:20
bryceah, thanks.  "Disable"11:21
pwnguinso when should i expect 7.3 to hit gutsy?11:30
brycepwnguin: well, according to http://www.x.org/wiki/Releases/7.3, upstream isn't going to release it until August11:33
pwnguinwell then11:33
brycepwnguin: however most of the components are being released individually, and we're integrating them as they come11:33
kylemwe already have most of 7.311:33
pwnguinwhat im interested in is the part where config files change11:33
brycepwnguin: those are starting to filter in.  The next xorg I'm working on uploading will drop some sections from it11:34
bryceother sections will drop in time.11:34
brycewhen xserver 1.4 is out (presumably by August), the input hotplugging will come, allowing much more to drop11:35
pwnguinim hoping it will make things like nv versus nvidia and wacom-tablets simpler to set up11:35
bryceyes, wacom will be a post-1.4 type thing11:35
pwnguinone of the KC lug members was moaning that xorg was generating too many errors because he didnt have a tablet11:35
bryceopen vs. binary driver selection I'm less certain about11:35
brycewell, those are easy to fix - just comment out the wacom lines ;-)11:36
jcristauor ignore them11:36
pwnguinno kidding11:36
pwnguinive recently had to fix some stuff related to tabletPC-ness11:36
bryceunfortunately, if we drop wacom from the generated xorg.conf's it turns the (harmless) error message into a bug for wacom users11:36
pwnguinbut theres so many different kinds of wacom users11:37
pwnguinim not sure how to generalize the fix11:37
brycein any case, I think everyone is looking forward to xserver 1.4, after which work can go into a proper fix, making wacom auto-detected on the fly11:37
jcristaubryce: well i'm not sure i consider "i don't want to have to configure xorg.conf for my tablet" more than a wishlist bug, but.11:38
pwnguinthe problem is there's no documentation on how to configure it11:39
pwnguinnothing in /usr/share/doc worth while11:39
brycejcristau: heh, well this was a decision made before my time, but see no reason to change it11:40
bryceactually in joining canonical, getting rid of that wacom section was at the top of my todo list; I was rather bummed to find it'll have to wait until after input hotplugging11:41
pwnguinyou could always add a script to wacom-tools that munges xorg.conf ;)11:41
pwnguinit seems that wacom currently doesn't detect my tablet PC as a tablet PC, because i have to specificy what the manpage says is a default11:43
=== pwnguin should probably file a bug about that
jcristaubryce: yeah, if the current section works for your users, it's probably fine11:43
bryceI created a dexconf patch for any users that really, really want to eliminate it11:44
brycejcristau: for tools that assist in detecting input devices, what would be the right package to put them in?  Would I be ok in patching them into xorg-server/hw/xfree86/utils/ ?11:46
jcristaui don't know11:46
jcristauprobably not, if it's not going upstream11:46
bryceassuming the need for the tool will be made obsolete by input hotplugging, I doubt it will be important to push it upstream to xorg.11:48
brycebut I'd like to put it in a sensible place in case e.g. debian may want it11:48
jcristauprobably in the xorg package then11:48
bryceok11:48
jcristau(as in source package)11:49
bryceit's compiled .c code11:49
jcristaunot sure which .deb11:49
bryceI notice xorg/debian/local/ contains scripts, so wasn't sure that was a good place for it11:49
jcristauit also contains xserver-wrapper.c11:50
kylembryce, what's the symptom of this broken loop11:59
jcristaudexconf is 439 lines long here12:01
jcristauso i can't really see which line 473 you're talking about :)12:01
brycesorry, that was the ubuntu-ized version12:02
jcristauanyway, in our version i see one for loop, and it's correct afaics12:04
bryceok well maybe I'm on crack.  I'll take another look and see where it slipped in.12:05
