sbalneav Quick question: I'm trying to debug Bug #140051  I've installed the xserver-xorg-driver-amd-dbg package, but I'm still 05:29
ubotuLaunchpad bug 140051 in xserver-xorg-video-amd "amd driver fails to autoconfigure" [Undecided,New]  https://launchpad.net/bugs/14005105:29
sbalneav                  only getting a hex address in the dump from xorg, with no indication as to what routine it dies in.  Any ideas as to how 05:29
sbalneav                  I might at least narrow it down to a subroutine within the driver?05:29

sbalneavWhen I get the bt from xorg, once it pops into the amd_drv.so, there's nothing but a hex offset.06:13
brycehmm06:19
brycehave you seen https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingXorg and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DebuggingXAutoconfiguration ?06:21
bryceanother trick:  strace -s 512 -p $(pidof X) 2>/root/x.log &06:22
bryceI've heard there is also an 'Xorg -verbose' option but haven't played with that myself06:22
brycealso, make sure you have the dbg packages for -amd installed06:23
sbalneavGot that installed, thanks for the links, I'll check 'em out06:25

tepsipakkitormod: heh, true01:57
tepsipakkitormod: I mean, there must be a typo, I think :)02:00
tormoddo you know exactly what is included?02:01
tepsipakkiI believe the latest change was the one by Michel Dnzer02:03
tepsipakkiat least that's included02:06
tormodfrom Sept 8, right02:06

tormodok thanks. maybe the wrong ID in the changelog is from the debian git repo.02:08

mvobryce: are there any news about the new xserver-xorg-core fix for patch 132?06:44
bryceyep!  All that's left is to verify it doesn't break ume, and yesterday I worked on getting my ume box going with latest ubuntu.  Today I will figure out how to apply kees' change to it and verify it's all okay06:45
mvogreat, I found that it breaks fglrx too so now I have a personal interesst ;)06:47
bryceyeah I suspected that might be the case06:47
=== mvo uploaded xserver-xorg-video-intel and waits for the fallout

mvokylem: I uploaded a new -x-x-video-intel package with a patch to make it use overlay video on < i965 cards (just FYI) 07:04
kylemfine by me as long as its ok with bryce07:05
brycekylem: yeah I reviewed and it basically just removes a texturedAdaptor for 965G07:07

keescookthanks.  I seems that edgy and feisty also have it disabled, but not dapper, so I'll release an update for that.08:20
bryceexcellent08:27
bryceI'm still trying to figure out a way to get your fix tested on the ume box.  I've updated it to latest and I think I can just compile it for lpia and then copy the deb over on usb...08:28

tormodbryce, displayconfig-gtk can not set up dual-head on the new ati driver (should use xrandr instead of zaphod) https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12295  Is this a well known issue?09:19
bryceI think it is but don't know a bug ID offhand09:23
bryceI know that "doesn't support xrandr" is a known issue in the TODO09:23
bryceI recall seeing a bug that dual head was not supported on either ati or nv but don't recall which09:23
tormodmaybe it should disabled then, depending on the driver?09:24
tormod* should be09:24
tormodI mean, the dual head set-up in displayconfig-gtk09:25
brycepossibly09:25
brycedid it cause breakage?09:25
tormodyes it makes an xorg.conf that makes the server crash09:26
bryceok, put in a bug report about it if there isn't already one.  if you're comfortable patching displayconfig-gtk a patch would be great09:27
tormodIMOH the server shouldn't just crash because of the xorg.conf, but you know what upstream thinks.09:27
jcristauupstream thinks it shouldn't crash, but doesn't care enough to fix it, afaics :)09:28
bryce"send a patch" ;-)09:28
brycewell I suspect their strategy is to make the need for an xorg.conf go away09:29
brycepersonally I think *some* kind of configuration is always going to be needed, so they really need a wider strategy09:29
brycehowever I'm not ready to send a patch so am keeping my mouth shut ;-009:29
tormodwhere is the displayconfig-gtk source anyway? the bazaar link on the wiki page is stale.09:31
bryceit's in bzr, hang on I'll get you a link09:32
brycehttps://code.launchpad.net/~displayconfig-gtk/displayconfig-gtk/ubuntu09:32
tormodthanks, I'll update the wiki page.09:33

tormodoh my, that URL on the wiki page was ok, it's just that it is a bzr URL and not a web link.09:53

tormodtepsipakki: I guess this has been asked before, but what is holding back the ati driver?10:09
bryceyeah, I've only built it on gutsy10:12
tepsipakkitormod: no-one reviewing it10:19
brycetepsipakki: who do we need to review it?10:20
tepsipakkibryce: someone of the release-manager team10:20
tepsipakkiI subscribed them to the bug earlier today10:20
brycelike pitti?10:20
tepsipakkiyes10:20
bryceone sec10:20
brycehrm, looks like he's offline for the day10:21

brycenot yet afaik10:22
tormodno, I get it. UVF.10:22
tepsipakkitwo days until beta-freeze10:22
tormodit's pretty important to get it in before beta, right?10:22
bryceextremely10:22
tepsipakkibryce: alex said that he'll do .193 later this week10:23
bryceprobably if we don't get it in by beta it most likely ain't going in10:23

brycemeanwhile...  I am working on new packages for xorg and xorg-server.  So far just one change each.  Either of you know of more patches that need included in those?10:37
brycebtw, the change for xorg is to disable the wacom entries, as per henrik's direction.  I'm a little concerned what that's going to break for people.10:37
tepsipakkiwell, they'll be stripped after gutsy anyway10:38
bryceyup, but then presumably the input hotplug will start taking over10:39
