|---|---|---|
| Q-FUNK | bryce: I forwarded you the two patches | 05:23 |
| bryce | got 'em; I'll take a look next week | 05:41 |
| bryce | with these two patches in place, will this take care of the issues folks have been having with -amd? | 05:42 |
| Q-FUNK | bryce: and other drivers with similar bugs. | 05:44 |
| Q-FUNK | bryce: the main issue is that x86emu was doing nasty things with the BIOS. these two patches plug the issue in two ways: 1. prevent x86emu from even trying to ever access specific ports. 2. fix the way the BIOS was accessed in the first place (it was truncating some values). | 05:47 |
| bryce | what's the risk of regressions for other users? | 05:49 |
| Q-FUNK | none, as far as I can tell. it simply prevents X core from doing stupid things. | 06:09 |
| Q-FUNK | but again, a test package must be built and tested. | 06:09 |
| Q-FUNK | if this works, it will be needed on all subsequent X core versions until upstream has merged it. | 06:10 |
| Q-FUNK | bartman on #xorg-devel could tell you more about how he came to those two. | 06:10 |
| Q-FUNK | it's largely the result of a thread between him and alan cox. | 06:11 |
| Q-FUNK | it basically, prevents x86emu from doing first things in the first place and lets the exception handler kill X if it still tries to, rather than freeze the whole system. | 06:12 |
| Q-FUNK | ΓΆΓΆ.. from doing stupid things | 06:12 |
| Q-FUNK | bryce: anyhow, bartman pretty much has the last say over which parts of his patch set will make sense in context. | 06:15 |
| Q-FUNK | what I remember from the thread (I am just reading the backlog, as I'm coming home), is that he's at least fixed X enough to turn freezes into simple segfaults that can be caught by the exception handler. | 06:16 |
| Q-FUNK | for the specific -amd issue, he reports in another post that he finally gets something on his display, after fixing x86emu. | 06:17 |

| bryce | Q-FUNK: the usual, you? | 21:37 |
| Q-FUNK | bryce: wondering if Bart's patches will be merged in. | 21:38 |
| bryce | yeah I'll take a look monday | 21:38 |
| Q-FUNK | I just asked the Debian X list. | 21:40 |
| Q-FUNK | if they accept his two x86emu patches and merge to both the 1.3 in Testing and the 1.4 in Unstable, it might make your job easier. | 21:40 |
| bryce | yup, that'd be nice | 21:40 |
| Q-FUNK | I'm a bit more worried about the lack of reaction on the upstream X list, though. | 21:41 |
| bryce | I don't foresee any issue accepting it, just need to package it and make sure it builds, and so on | 21:41 |
| Q-FUNK | is there a big amount of Ubuntu delta left with the Debian packages? | 21:42 |
| tjaalton | 13 patches | 21:42 |
| tjaalton | oh, 15 | 21:42 |
| Q-FUNK | wow | 21:43 |
| Q-FUNK | that's a lot | 21:43 |
| Q-FUNK | any of it that could be integrated by Debian? | 21:43 |
| tjaalton | we can drop the DPI patch after next revision | 21:43 |
| tjaalton | perhaps | 21:43 |
| Q-FUNK | jcristau: ? :) | 21:44 |
| tjaalton | gravity promised to take a look at them when he has time for it :) | 21:56 |
| Q-FUNK | aye. I just saw bgoglin's reply too. | 22:21 |
| Q-FUNK | looks good | 22:21 |
| jcristau | Q-FUNK: i'd rather see it upstream first... | 23:53 |
| jcristau | and i don't want to keep maintaining 1.3, but it should be fine for 1.4 | 23:54 |
| Q-FUNK | well, for as long as 1.4 isn't in a releasable state, we really need that backported to 1.3 too | 23:59 |
