bryceheya pcjc218:44
pcjc2hi18:45
pcjc2have been chasing the intel-agp driver on the 855 issue18:45
brycecool, how's that coming?18:45
pcjc2look fairly solid, am seeing the page table entries removed before suspend18:45
pcjc2and re-added after suspend18:45
pcjc2so the chip's internal memory map _should_ be right18:45
* bryce nods18:46
pcjc2(it must be at least partly right, or you'd get no screen at all)18:46
pcjc2unfortunately, its a write only register, so you can't check the page table18:46
bryceerf18:46
pcjc2(Although its backed in ram somewhere, perhaps I could read that)18:46
pcjc2you write via the GMCH chip so it knows what you changed18:46
pcjc2I'm going to ask Matthew G if there is any chance the vbetool post can re-write it18:47
brycegood idea18:47
bryceI started triaging the other intel bugs last night; knocked about half a dozen out as dupes or already fixed18:48
pcjc2I saw some18:49
pcjc2I can't mark bugs as duplicates, is that correct?18:49
bryceI'm hoping to get them all reviewed, make sure they all have needed info for debugging, and then try pushing them upstream18:49
pcjc2I told Jesse I'd open a fdo bug for the 855 issue18:49
bryceI'm not sure... you might be able to18:49
brycein any case, we should get you some additional powers :-)18:50
pcjc2also need to ensure the crash fix makes it upstream18:50
pcjc2;)18:50
pcjc2Where is the dup marking feature?18:50
pcjc2I looked on the side-panes, but didn't see it18:50
bryceit's on the left in the list of commands18:50
pcjc2not for me, perhaps I need to join the bugsquad or something18:51
pcjc2Do you get shortcuts to those "Thankyou for taking the time to make Ubuntu better..." answers?18:51
pcjc2(I never got one of those for ages, writing bug reports.. thought noone "cared", but discovered I felt offended when I did get one (after having setup my belief that such replies must be for noob type bug reports ;))18:52
bryceok, I think you just need to join https://launchpad.net/~bugsquad18:53
bryceI've already put in a good word about you with brian murray18:53
pcjc2thanks ;)18:53
brycethose shortcuts are actually greasemonkey scripts.  Here's how to set them up:18:53
pcjc2would be nice if I could see his suspend issue and fix that... but alas dont18:53
brycefirst install greasemonkey (tools -> add-ons -> search for greasemonkey, install)18:54
pcjc2hmm.. epiphany user here, but found an equivelant I think18:54
brycesecond, restart firefox, then go to outflux.net/greasemonkey and click on lp_stockreplies.user.js18:54
brycelp_karma_suffix.user.js is also very cool18:55
pcjc2ok, let me try with firefox18:55
pcjc2Bryce.. one thing I might be interested to work on is ways to make the backlight stay off in Xorg18:57
pcjc2(when I shut the laptop lid). Recent changes in the kernel push more and more of this on userspace, which uses dpms to switch the display off18:58
pcjc2X always turns it back on when you touch the mouse, or some random event happens. So my laptop toasts18:58
bryceahh18:59
brycethat reminds me - kylem posted this change to -intel to his ppa just recently18:59
brycehttp://ppa.launchpad.net/kyle/ubuntu/pool/main/x/xserver-xorg-video-intel/19:00
pcjc2Saw that I think... resyncs the TV out quirks?19:01
bryceI started reviewing it last night, but didn't get through it all19:02
bryceyes, but I think there was also something about backlights19:02
* bryce looks again19:03
bryceoh wait, no that was just patch 03 again19:03
brycenevermind, sorry19:03
pcjc2ok, I'll look when I'm back.. am going out to dinner with a developer friend19:03
pcjc2we'll get to moan about "stupid" users and their resistance to change19:03
brycehehe19:03
pcjc2so much backlash for what is a fairly minor, and (in our opinion) sensible change which makes gEDA's schematic pages "complete" by caching library symbols used in the output file19:04
bryceyeah people flip out about change19:05
bryceit seems to go over better if they feel they've been able to participate in the decisionmaking about the change19:05
pcjc2the gEDA user base are pretty terrible about that.. many never upgrade, are on pre-cairo GTK19:06
pcjc2I guess many people use the CAD package as a tool, and have invested time learning how it behaves (badly). Certainly those who use the software as a productivity tool like to keep what they have when it works19:06
pcjc2remind me if I forget to add it... for the intel driver, we should add on the Wiki page that logs should be obtained with ModeDebug set to TRUE, if people see screen size issues, perhaps even for crash issues19:08
bryceah good idea - could you add that when you get a chance?19:10
pcjc2will do.. assuming I don't need special permissions to edit the Wiki19:11
pcjc2have to run now... talk later perhaps.19:12
brycecool, cya later19:12
bryceyup, no special permissions needed19:12

tepsipakki greasemonkey? never heard of that one before20:48
bryceheya tepsipakki20:49
tepsipakkihi bryce 20:50
tepsipakkiis there any documentation available for those greasemonkey-scripts?20:50
tepsipakkiwhat they do etc20:50
brycenot that I know of, but I can write up descriptions of them in wiki20:51
brycebtw, I'm updating the ubuntu-x-swat team stuff.  Shall I add you to it while I'm at it?20:51
tepsipakkiI should be there already :)20:52
bryceopp, right you are20:52
tepsipakkiat least I get all the team membership changes as mail20:52
* bryce adds tormodvolden20:54
* bryce adds pcjc220:54
brycetepsipakki: btw, I also finally compiled that ubuntu-x projects list I mentioned earlier...   https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Projects20:56
brycewhen you get a chance you might want to look that over and make sure nothing's missing (and add it if so)20:56
bryceI put you down for the x-apps resync task, as I assumed that's still something you want to do20:57
tepsipakkiah, right. looks great20:57
brycewhat I'm hoping is that this will help us stay coordinated so everyone knows what each other is working on, and so we can ensure all the stuff we want done gets done early enough in Hardy20:58
tepsipakkiyes, it should help21:00
tepsipakkiI could test xserver 1.4 and do an initial merge21:01
tepsipakkimy machines are working too well, they need action :)21:02
brycethat'd be good.  someone was asking about that last week21:02
tepsipakkialso, I have xorg git halfway done21:03
tepsipakkiI think..21:03
tepsipakkithat could be something to finish at UDS21:04
bryceyeah21:04
tepsipakkihmm, surely you mean -ati 6.8.0 :)21:04
bryceoh whoops - feel free to make corrections21:05
tepsipakkiyeah21:05
brycewas working on it pretty late ;-)21:05
tepsipakkiheh, that happens21:06

pcjc2Hi Bryce.. back22:55
bryceheya22:55
pcjc2#154579 is a gdm bug, not X-server22:55
pcjc2how to change it?22:56
pcjc2(I also sent a quick query to the gdm list to see if anyone recognised the error)22:56
bryceclick on the triangle over on the right side, then change the Package from 'xorg' to 'gdm' and click Save Changes22:57
pcjc2Shall I add comments, e.g. "From the log files posted, this appears to be a gdm bug" ?22:58
bryceyup22:58
pcjc2(I guess that makes it seb's problem?)22:58
* bryce nods22:59
brycenote that he'll bounce it right back if it's not clearly gdm22:59
brycebut he bounces a lot of bugs our way so I don't feel back about bouncing one or two back to him :-)23:00
pcjc2I'll have a quick look at their svn for fixes... they are planning some major upheaval soon23:01
bryceah interesting23:01
brycebtw, you might find this interesting - http://people.ubuntu.com/~brian/testing_graphs/xorg.html23:01
pcjc2there was a lot of debate recently about what direction they're going on with internals, but a major change has been made to switch to using D-Bus internally23:02
brycethere's also a chart for -ati, but not yet for -intel since there's <100 bugs23:02
pcjc2theres a lot of bugs closed recently!23:03
pcjc2and on the gentle increase as more people update?23:03
bryceyeah, I went on a bug spree thurs/fri closing out dupes and recently fixed things23:03
bryceI worked on -intel too a bit friday but only got through about half.  Still need to do -ati, -nv, and l-r-m, but I think tormod and tepsipakki tend -ati fairly well, and -nv and lrm are a bit lower priority atm23:04
pcjc2Here's a subtle point...23:05
brycethe big huge drop at Sep 22nd was due to a script that auto-expired a lot of old bugs23:05
pcjc2the intel embedded chips go through the AGP drivers.. but as far as I can tell, they aren't AGP23:06
bryceweird23:06
pcjc2they just do very similar things, on the PCI bus23:06
pcjc2I might be wrong in that evaluation of course. They support AGP external cards (if they are wired up as such), so often have AGP bridge drivers23:07
pcjc2For example, with the 855 chip, if it finds the embedded graphics controler, it uses driver functions for an "830" card23:07
pcjc2if it is just the AGP bridge, it uses "845" driver functions. Strange, but as it looks to me, the 830 driver is actual graphics, the 845 driver is more a generic AGP bridge23:08
pcjc2I've sent Claudio a message to see if he will test vbetool post without suspending the computer.. see if that reproduces his bug23:09
pcjc2BTW.. thanks for the ubuntu-x-swat membership ;)23:09
brycenp :-)23:09
pcjc2Couldn't get greasemonkey to do much... not sure what its supposed to do really23:10
bryceyeah I need to document those better23:10
pcjc2Have the extension installed, went to the URL you suggested, do I have to download the .js script and put it somewhere?23:10
brycein firefox, it gets automatically loaded when you click on it23:11
pcjc2hmm, tried that23:11
pcjc2heh.. works now23:12
pcjc2didn't before, I swear.. perhaps Firefox hadn't really shutdown properly23:12
brycecould be23:12
brycethe user stats stuff shows up whenever a user name is listed in the bug tracker.  It shows (karma) and a list of major teams they're on23:13
bryceI edited that js code through firefox to add 'ubuntu-x-swat' in my own copy, too23:13
brycethe canned response thing you access via a [+] link when editing the bug properties23:13
pcjc2GAH.. hate launchpad so much sometimes23:14
pcjc2go to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/23:14
pcjc2Title:          Bugs in         xserver-xorg-video-intel in ubuntu23:14
pcjc2type "855" in the search box23:15
pcjc2jumps me right to bug 85523:15
ubotuLaunchpad bug 855 in launchpad "Should series/+sourceadmin be completely inaccessible to mortal users?" [Medium,Invalid] https://launchpad.net/bugs/85523:15

tepsipakkiI've yet to get any sensible search results no matter what I do :)23:17
pcjc2Perhaps this is why people find LP hard. 23:18
tepsipakkibryce: xserver merge done23:19
tepsipakki11 patches dropped, plus all the upstream backports obviously (2xx)23:22
tepsipakkiand 120 disabled23:23
bryceexcellent23:25
tepsipakkimaybe during this cycle we could get nvidia/fglrx to provide xserver-xorg-video-ABIVER, that would mean one change less for xorg-server23:28
brycetepsipakki: to use this, do all the various drivers need to be rebuilt against it?23:28
tepsipakkiyes23:28
brycenot a bad idea23:28
tepsipakkivideo-abiversion is now 2.023:28
tepsipakkiand the input abi has changed as well IIRC23:29
tepsipakkiobviously, because of input-hotplug..23:29
tepsipakkinow nvidia/fglrx provide xserver-xorg-video (which the server conflicts with on debian)23:31
tepsipakkiso in the future if the abi has changed and current version of the driver is broken with the new server, it refuses to upgrade23:32
tepsipakkiwhich means a little less pain23:33
bryceyeah23:42
