brycetjaalton: hmm, I added my blog to planet-ubuntu a while ago, yet my past posts did not show up.  Perhaps it only pulls new ones?  I'll have to mess with it03:52
tjaaltonbryce: yes, new ones only06:28
tjaaltonand maybe if you modify an older post06:44
brycenope; I tried modifying the bug tool post (added a screenshot) but it didn't show up06:47
bryceI'll do another post and check that it shows up06:48
brycewow, all my inkscape bug work over the holidays bumped my karma up quite a bit06:52
tjaaltonheh06:53
tjaaltonthere's an upstream intel branch about which should fix EXA slowness, and I tried to build it, but failed. I'll try again today06:55
tjaalton"intel-batchbuffer"06:55
bryceoh btw, brian murray found a bug in the greasemonkey tag script where if there is a + or & in the description, the tool may change the description inappropriately06:59
tjaaltonok, I'll update it07:05
brycetjaalton: has -intel fixed the issue that prevents DRI for virtual displays larger than 2048x2048?07:07
bryce(bug #164049)07:08
ubotuLaunchpad bug 164049 in xserver-xorg-video-intel "intel xorg driver disables direct rendering for virtual display larger than 2048" [Low,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/16404907:08
bryceI ask because in bug 174745, they report the crash was caused by having a virtual size over 2048x204807:08
ubotuLaunchpad bug 174745 in xserver-xorg-video-intel "xorg lockup when screen is rotated" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/17474507:08
tjaaltonno, it requires TTM07:19
tjaaltonAIUI07:19
bryceahh07:54
bryceyay!  all -intel bug triaging is caught up :-)08:19
tjaaltonheh, I noticed that my "launchpad-x" mailbox filled up :)08:20
bryce:=)08:20
bryceI got a couple new widescreen monitors today, but vowed to get -intel triaging done before I even opened the boxes08:21
tjaaltonhehe, what models?08:21
bryceBenQ08:21
tjaaltonsweet, I bought a BenQ last month08:21
bryceI've never bought benq before, but I did some pretty thorough research and they came out on top for my requirements08:22
brycethey also were quite highly rated on newegg, so I'm very optimistic08:22
brycebut...  if I'm offline all day tomorrow you'll know why ;-)08:23
tjaaltonheh, ok!08:23
tjaaltonmine is a 24" with hdmi input08:23
bryceoh maybe I've got the same08:24
tjaaltonso even if we won't get a new telly anytime soon, I'm still able to get a PS3 and use the full resolution08:24
bryceMNTR BENQ|24" LCD 16MS HDMI FP241W08:24
tjaaltonyep, same model08:24
tjaaltonyou've certainly done your research :)08:25
bryce8-)08:25
tjaaltonI could've bought a 24" model half the price, but I knew this one had a higher quality panle08:25
tjaalton-el08:25
brycehow's HDMI work?  dell was asking me about if we've done testing of that08:26
bryceyeah08:26
tjaaltonI don't have a gfx card with HDMI08:26
bryceah08:26
tjaaltonapparently there are still issues08:26
bryceme either08:26
brycehave you played with s-video?08:27
tjaaltonat least alsa lacks some support for transporting audio over it, but I guess it's almost ready08:27
tjaaltonmy old laptop (T23) has an s-video port08:27
brycehere's what you need for your TV:  http://blog.wired.com/gadgets/2008/01/ces-2008-keynot.html08:28
tjaaltonhmm, let me recover the firefox sesssion08:29
tjaalton-s08:29
tjaaltonah, that one.. a bit pricey, but otherwise seems quite nice :)08:31
tjaaltonI wonder how much power that monster will suck08:35
bryceyeah no kidding08:36
brycebut it sounds like it'd play youtube videos really well, so hey08:36
tjaaltonyep, 400x300 (?) clips on a 4096x2160 screen :)08:39
bryceawwsome08:39
bryceoh btw, I learned a mechanism for marking bugs as "needs forwarded upstream" and started marking -intel bugs that look ready to report upstream08:41
bryceI wanted to focus on getting through the preliminary triage so put off reporting them upstream for now, but plan to spend a day or so in the next week or two pushing bugs upstream08:42
tjaaltonok, cool08:42
tjaaltonthe newest version should fix quite a fex bugs08:43
bryceexcellent08:43
brycethe way to mark bugs as needs forwarded is to go Affects +Project, then submit without entering a bug url.  Easy08:44
bryceif you run across other bugs that look ready to go upstream, mark 'em08:44
tjaaltonok, good to know08:50
