sorenI have a patch for the vmware video driver.. What's easiest? Send to you guys and you'll apply, upload and forward to Debian? 07:24
soren(It simply adds /usr/share/xserver-xorg/pci/vmware.ids)07:25
bryceforwarding to debian is easiest07:38
brycewe like to sync stuff as much as possible07:38
sorenOk. I wasn't sure if you might have access to their git repo or something.08:11
brycetimo probably does; I don't08:15

tjaaltonbryce: right, I guess we already decided to go back to XAA, so it's just a matter of doing the actual upload21:02
tjaaltonon the other hand, I'm now running compiz on my 965GM with "MigrationHeuristic" "greedy", and things seem to work fine21:03
tjaaltonlike no corrupted window shadows, scrolling in firefox is pretty snappy etc21:03
brycereally...  huh21:04
brycewhat is MigrationHeuristic?  is that new?21:04
tjaaltonman exa21:06
bryceah21:06
brycedo you think that'll give a sufficient solution that we won't need to switch back to XAA?21:06
tjaaltonI'Ãm not sure yet, it might have some other issues21:07
bdmurrayIs anybody familiar with the framebuffer driver and how usplash uses it?21:12
bdmurraytjaalton: you commented on bug 129910 right?21:15

tjaaltonbdmurray: argh.. yep :)21:16
bdmurraytjaalton: What I'm really curious about is bug 147623 and the source of that problem.  Do the framebuffer drivers only work with certain cards?21:19

tjaaltonbdmurray: it seems to have issues with 64bit and nvidia..21:31
tjaaltonbryce: woo, you fixed displayconfig-gtk?21:31
brycetjaalton: actually check the title21:32
tjaaltonoh is that the gnome capplet?21:34
bryceyup21:34
bdmurraytjaalton: right, come to find out I have hardware around here where I should be able to recreate it.  Is it an issue with the kernel framebuffer driver?21:40
tjaaltonbdmurray: we don't use a fb driver by default21:41
bdmurraytjaalton: okay, if you have an idea what is going on could you explain it to me?  I'm uncertain as to what is used.21:44
tjaaltonbdmurray: I'm not too familiar with it.. mjg59 should be able to fill in the details21:46
bdmurraytjaalton: okay, thanks!21:47
tjaaltonbdmurray: I've got a nvidia 8600GT, and could test a 64bit livecd to see if I'm able to reproduce it21:47
bdmurraytjaalton: I'll be testing it shortly with an 8300 which I think should have the same results21:48
tjaaltonbdmurray: yeah, G80-series both21:49
pwnguinis it a bug in wacom tools or in xorg if you still need an xorg.conf to use wacom?22:05
tjaaltonwacom22:05
tjaaltonalthough we still don't use input-hotplug by default22:06

ubotuNew bug: #183502 in xserver-xorg-video-intel (main) "[hardy] Intel graphics (965) slowed down" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/18350222:57
tjaaltonhmm, seems that the option for intel makes it use more power..23:03
tjaaltonbryce: will it change the xorg.conf?23:04
brycetjaalton: no, this one will be xrandr 1.2 based23:05
bryceso it will be doing everything on the fly23:05
tjaaltonbryce: ok, but we'll keep dc-gtk as well?23:05
brycefor now, but the goal is to deprecate it23:05
bryceit's too broken23:05
tjaaltonok23:05
brycebut I don't have anything better to use for bulletproof-x mode presently23:06
brycebut I might be able to shoehorn DCG to work adequately in that mode since I control the input xorg.conf there23:06
tjaaltonyep23:08
seb128hey bryce23:08
brycehi seb12823:08
seb128bryce: about the keyboard issue, Hobbsee has the same bug, she confirmed using xev that she gets the same events23:09
seb128bryce: so that's not specific to the layout used23:09
bryceI saw that.  but while that rules out one possibility, the other things still need to be tested23:10
seb128bryce: downgrading the xserver-xorg-input-xkb package is not trivial because the input methods changed or something and the gutsy version doesn't install on gutsy, would a rebuild on hardy do the trick?23:10
tjaaltona rebuild would work23:10
seb128bryce: what other things? I use no virtualization23:10
seb128I'll try the rebuild and downgrade23:10
seb128tjaalton: thanks23:11
tjaaltonunless the new server _requires_ the newer driver23:11
tjaaltonI'm not sure23:11
tjaaltonmaybe something to push upstream23:11
tjaaltonthe bug23:11
tjaaltonwhot is pretty responsive23:12
brycewell, basically at this point we need to narrow in what is causing the issue, and so far we've only ruled _out_ possibilities23:12
brycetjaalton, yeah maybe pushing it upstream would be good since we don't know what more to do to troubleshoot23:17
bryce(unless you have ideas, or unless downgrading shows something illuminating)23:17
tjaaltonI bet the error goes away with evdev..23:18
tjaaltonhmm, gravity is online23:18
tjaaltonok, bedtime.. night ->23:24
