[04:35] <pwnguin> yawn
[06:31] <pwnguin> heh
[06:31] <pwnguin> that looks familiar
[06:35] <pwnguin> which patches was bryce referring to earlier?
[06:39] <pwnguin> cuz I'd like to request a small patch be added as well ;)

[13:45] <bryce_> wooow there's a lot of angst on xorg@
[14:02] <tjaalton> yep, interesting to read
[14:18] <Q-FUNK> oh?
[14:19] <tjaalton> discussing the benefits and downsides of merging the drivers back to xserver
[14:21] <tjaalton> probably won't happen, but it was proposed
[14:25] <Q-FUNK> going back to a monolithic X?
[14:25] <jcristau> monolithic was about more than server+drivers
[14:26] <tjaalton> right, that's why I didn't use the word :)

[16:23] <bryce_> tjaalton: if we need to alter the H/V sync rates (modeline) used with a given video driver (i.e. cirrus), now that we're not putting that sort of stuff in dexconf, where is the proper place for it?
[16:24] <jcristau> bryce_: fix the driver
[16:24] <bryce_> jcristau: can you point me at an example?
[16:25] <jcristau> i'm not sure what exactly you have in mind
[16:25] <bryce_> to fix the driver to use the correct H/V sync rates
[16:26] <jcristau> well it should get them from the monitor's edid
[16:27] <tjaalton> trident is problematic as well, it goes into an endless loop when it doesn't have those values from xorg.conf
[16:27] <tjaalton> yay for quality
[16:28] <bryce_> in this case, I'm not sure there is valid edid (ddcprobe says edidfail)
[16:28] <bryce_> it works if I specify a H/V refresh rate in xorg.conf, and I have a valid modeline for it
[16:28] <bryce_> I could just plug it into dexconf, but am hoping to solve it in a more proper way
[16:28] <tjaalton> bryce_: yes, I tried that as well
[16:29] <jcristau> hmm, right, if edid fails, i guess there's not much the driver can do
[16:29] <jcristau> standard vesa modelines don't work?
[16:29] <bryce_> nope
[16:30] <jcristau> sadness
[16:30] <bryce_> jcristau: so you do not know of a way of solving this other than specifying it in dexconf?
[16:31] <bryce_> we've got other similar bugs, and I'd sort of prefer learning the proper way, so I can solve them properly too
[16:32] <jcristau> how would you get the values? ask the user?
[16:33] <bryce_> no, I think it should be possible to detect that the user's in the kvm virtual environment and just set things up accordingly
[16:34] <jcristau> oh, virtualization shit, ok
[16:34] <jcristau> then yeah, probably adding that to dexconf would be easiest
[16:35] <bryce_> ah, ok
[16:35] <bryce_> hrm
[17:46] <bryyce> tjaalton: we've uploaded the new dexconf for cirrus/qemu_kvm
[17:54] <bryyce> oh btw, this morning I did the remaining xorg triage - we have 0 New bugs in xorg, xorg-server, -ati, -nv, and -intel

[22:09] <tjaalton> hehe, that's cool
[22:10] <tjaalton> bryce: there were other changes waiting for an upload in git
[22:10] <tjaalton> but I'll make sure they are uploaded before alpha4
