tjaaltonQ-FUNK: what about that? if you want it in hardy, please file a sync-request08:05
tjaaltonbryce: I didn't notice there was a patch for bug 151388, committed and uploaded08:16

brycethanks08:22
bryceI got one of the moblin.org guys to say he'll redo the libdrm patch; I think that'll make things much easier.08:26
brycehowever it sounds like getting -psb functional is still going to require a backport of xserver et al from hardy to gutsy.  I'm hoping that won't be too involved of a project08:26
tjaaltonso they are still using gutsy?08:55
brycetjaalton: yup09:30
brycetjaalton: apparently they were going to go to hardy, but it sounds like they've decided to stick with gutsy09:31
Q-FUNKtjaalton: ther eis no diff. it will be auto-sync'ed.12:42
tjaaltonno it won't, that time has passed :)12:43
Q-FUNKbryce: this one should fix the issue. however, it's probably pointless to introduce it to Gutsy as an update, even though the driver in Gutsy is essentially useless.12:44
Q-FUNKtjaalton: already?12:44
tjaaltona month ago12:44
Q-FUNKah.  anyhow, the driver currently in the archive flat out doesn't work with X server >= 1.312:45
Q-FUNKso it will have to be sync'ed, especially since most commercial LTSP hardware uses that chipset.12:46
Q-FUNKbryce had asked me to let him know once a fix is released.12:46
tjaaltonsure. if you can file the sync-request, then I'll confirm it12:47
Q-FUNKrequestsync -s - was it?12:54
tjaaltondunno, I don't use it12:55
tjaaltonah, no need to use -s12:58
Q-FUNKno?13:03
tjaaltonno, since I'll "sponsor" it13:03
tjaaltonthat would only subscribe universe-sponsors13:03
Q-FUNKor main sponsors.13:04
Q-FUNKbut ok, without option then.13:04
tjaaltonyeah, it's in main13:04
Q-FUNKah.  the debian changelog server isn't returning anything useful.13:04
Q-FUNKsent13:05
tjaaltonhmm, it added ubuntu-main-sponsors anyway13:07
Q-FUNKI think it does that automatically, nowadays, so that the requester doesn't have to guess.13:08
tjaaltonright13:08
Q-FUNKIIRC if someone doesn't have an ubuntu.com or canonical.com address, sponsoring is presumed.13:09
ubotuNew bug: #180539 in xserver-xorg-video-amd (main) "Please sync xserver-xorg-video-amd 2.7.7.4-1  (main) from Debian unstable (main)" [Wishlist,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/18053913:10
Q-FUNKmanually added the changelog13:15
Q-FUNKand some comments13:15
tjaaltoncool13:15
Q-FUNKthe hardy sync is definitely needed, since this will be an LTS release.13:17
Q-FUNKI'm not sure what to do with Gutsy, however.13:17
Q-FUNKbryce would need to decide this.13:18
Q-FUNKhowever, most hardware vendors test against stable releases, not unreleased OS.14:05
ubotuNew bug: #180601 in xorg (main) "Incomplete monitor specification data for Sony CPD-E200" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/18060117:15
Q-FUNKhm18:46
Q-FUNKfound the exact spot where -amd crashes on X -configure, with strace, but not sure what to make of it18:47
Q-FUNKdo we have any pastebot for this?18:47
tjaaltonuse pastebin.ubuntu.com or equivalent19:14
Q-FUNKhttp://pastebin.ubuntu.com/3308/19:39
bryceQ-FUNK, can you request to have it included in -backports?21:26
brycealso, I think it would not be out of the question to try getting it out for gutsy, if it's true that the current driver is useless.21:27
bryceso the steps to take for that are to first make sure there is a bug documenting the breakage in gutsy and how the new driver fixes it, and upload the new driver to -proposed21:28
brycethat'll allow testing it, and enable others to weigh in with whether it should be put out as an SRU21:28
Q-FUNKbryce: I'm waiting to hear report about the backport I just pbuilt, first21:29
bryceok cool21:29
Q-FUNKI linked to it from the bug21:30
