TomaszDtormod, ?03:23
tormodare you able to identify what change made the sis driver work?03:23
TomaszDaccording to the sis gitlog, there weren't that many changes 0.9.3 -> current, but no, I can't03:24
TomaszDit just started working flawlessly and even a bit quicker than in feisty, so I'm all happy03:25
tormodif we can backport the needed change into Gutsy, everybody will be happy :)03:25
TomaszDhowever, it would be nice to include a proper fix for gutsy, we can't expect people to compile drivers :] 03:25
TomaszDyeah, that would be nice03:26
TomaszDhowever I'm just a translator with some compiling experience, but by no means a dev, I write articles about Ubuntu for money, not programs :] 03:26
tormodif you already can compile, and have a sis card to test, you can be very useful03:27
TomaszDtormod, cool, I'm here if need be03:29
tormodthere are not many git changes since 0.9.1, shouldn't be too difficult to narrow it down03:29
TomaszDexactly03:29
TomaszDyou mean 0.9.3 right? this is the version gutsy has03:30
TomaszDtormod, ? 03:32
tormodTomaszD: yes I guess so :)03:32
TomaszDok03:32
tormoddid you try just recompiling the gutsy package as well?03:33
tormodanyway what is the bug report number?03:33
TomaszDtormod, but the gitlog got me thinking that quite possibly the original package just needs a recompile03:33

tormodTomaszD: with beta-freeze tomorrow, today is a good day to sort this out :)03:54
tormodor it needs "Get rid of the XFree86Server macro." but I just keep guessing here. I'll need to look at the code later.03:56

brycetormod, I don't think that discover guesses around, but the xserver postinst script isn't shy about making bold guesses if it has incomplete info07:15
tormodbryce: are you sure there are no default to nv for a "default nVidia card" or similar?07:16
bryceit may, I'm not sure there07:17
tormodbryce: re bug #133385, I can not see the pci id in discover-data, but it chooses nv07:17
ubotuLaunchpad bug 133385 in xserver-xorg-driver-nv "[gutsy]  "nv" is not new enough to support my chipset (Quadro FX 570M), but is detected as the most appropriate display driver during installation" [Undecided,Confirmed]  https://launchpad.net/bugs/13338507:17
brycelike, if it knows its an nvidia pci-id but doesn't match the model number, it'd probably be safe for it to guess -nvidia07:18
tormodbryce: how do I patch discover-data correctly? is .lst generated from .xml or visa versa?07:19
bryce.xml is the thing to update07:19
brycethen run `make pci-26.lst pci.lst`07:20
tormodwhat would the canonical model_name be? what I get from http://pci-ids.ucw.cz ?07:24
bryceYou can try looking them up on the discover-data sourceforge website, however if it's not already in the .xml it's likely not to be on that website07:25
bryceI don't know that there is a programmatic way to get the name... maybe from dmesg?  worst case, if you have the packaging for the product, or can look it up on the manufacturer website, that would give a suitable name07:26
bryceyou can submit missing pciid mappings through the pciid sourceforge project page; they will sanity check the names07:26
brycesorry, Isaid 'discover data sourceforge website', I meant pciid sourceforge website07:27

TomaszDtormod, sorry for leaving for so long, but I had major issues with my wireless router07:40
tormodbryce: so I run `make pci-26.lst pci.lst` before I rebuild the source package?07:40
bryceyup07:40
TomaszDtormod, I'm gonna try recompiling the gutsy sis package if you can guide me how to do that07:41
TomaszDah, just noticed the link in the log07:41
bryceTomaszD: I suspect that your issue may not be an issue in the packages themselves, but rather could be due to mixing self-compiled packages with ones from the ubuntu repos07:42
tormodbryce: that failed: xml.sax._exceptions.SAXParseException: pci-device.xml:35150:2: mismatched tag07:42
tormodbryce: he was using repo packages. His own works.07:42
TomaszDyep.07:43
bryceah, then maybe we simply need to put in a rebuild request for one of the packages (-sis?) in the repository07:43
TomaszDit's worth a try07:43
TomaszDthere doesn't seem to be any major changes between the git version and the ubuntu version, only some minor cleanups07:44
bryceyup07:45
tormodbryce: I just missed a / in the xml. "make" works now.07:45
brycealso I ran across a similar error someone saw, but not with -sis and not on ubuntu.  The issue in that case was just needing to rebuild one of the packages07:45
brycetormod, luv xml07:46
TomaszDbryce, so will you do it? :] 07:46
brycetormod, kylem and I are thinking we should rip all that data out of the xml discover-data package and create a new thing, maybe more flatfile-ish07:46
tormodbryce: and we'll have discover2 as well :)07:47
tormodor discover-3 or whatever07:47
bryceyup, -307:47
TomaszDa rebuild won't hurt and may certainly help07:48
bryceTomaszD: one sec07:48
brycekeescook: would you mind kicking a rebuild for xserver-xorg-video-sis?07:48
brycekeescook: it hasn't gotten updated in a while, and we think there's an abi mismatch that should resolve if it is just rebuilt against current gutsy libs07:49
jcristauan abi mismatch?07:50
TomaszDyes, SiS DRI driver expected DDX version 0-0.8.x but got version 0.7.107:50
jcristau391dad44fa305be4cded31cf2f9a4fba7420af99 would fix that afaics07:54
jcristau#if XORG_VERSION_CURRENT >= XORG_VERSION_NUMERIC(6,8,99,900,0) isn't going to be true just because the driver gets rebuilt07:58
tormodbryce: I made a debdiff for 133385. Can you bless it?08:00
tormodTomaszD: would you be able to try out the gutsy version with the patch from http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-sis/diff/?id=391dad44fa305be4cded31cf2f9a4fba7420af99 ?08:01

brycebdmurray: gnome-system-tools probably10:55
bryceI'm not super familiar with how it determines what resolutions to display, so it's possible it's depending on another lower level tool.10:55
bdmurraybryce: cool, looking that the file xresprobe reports 1024x768 but xorg.conf has 1280x80011:05
bryceright11:06

bdmurrayRight, this seems like the desktop gets it wrong not xorg11:12
brycewell, my guess is that gnome is querying gconf for resolutions, which returns those three resolutions when it doesn't know11:13
tormodwhy does gnome try to figure out available modes instead of just looking at the size of the root window? or even something like xdpyinfo?11:13
