| crimsun_ | faketang: hmm? The source is available since dapper. | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| soren | faketang: Did you try the command crimsun_ wrote? | 00:00 |
| _Angelus_ | ah it would be good mjg59, because when first gutsy was out, i had to compile a custom kernel for my system to get it to work | 00:01 |
| faketang | crimsun_ / soren: I see main-menu in the main pool for security, but it's not showing up in hardy | 00:02 |
| soren | ... | 00:02 |
| soren | faketang: type: "apt-get source main-menu" | 00:02 |
| crimsun_ | also, is(are) your deb-src line(s) for main active? | 00:02 |
| soren | faketang: Or grab it from bzr. See https://edge.launchpad.net/main-menu | 00:03 |
| taggart | aren't there automatically generated diffs between debian and ubuntu packages? I found http://merges.ubuntu.com/ but it doesn't seem to have the package I'm looking for (ia32-libs) | 00:03 |
| LaserJock | hmm, for me it doesn't show up in an apt-cache search but apt-get source works fine | 00:03 |
| soren | LaserJock: apt-cache doesn't show d-i compontents. | 00:03 |
| soren | or components. | 00:03 |
| LaserJock | taggart: patches.ubuntu.com | 00:03 |
| LaserJock | soren: yeah, that's interesting | 00:03 |
| taggart | LaserJock: looking thanks | 00:04 |
| soren | LaserJock: Not really. | 00:04 |
| soren | LaserJock: They're not in Packages{,.gz,.bz2} | 00:04 |
| taggart | LaserJock: found it, great! | 00:04 |
| LaserJock | soren: I guess I would have expected it to find the source package, but thinking about I don't know why I'd expect that :-) | 00:05 |
| faketang | interesting -- as LaserJock noted, it's only in sources but not as a compiled package | 00:05 |
| soren | LaserJock: :) | 00:05 |
| soren | LaserJock: apt-cache showsrc main-menu will show it, thoug. | 00:06 |
| soren | though. | 00:06 |
| LaserJock | right | 00:06 |
| _Angelus_ | mjg59: the guide worked | 00:06 |
| LaserJock | I just thought apt-cache search would be a bit more inclusive ;-) | 00:06 |
| mjg59 | _Angelus_: Yes, it will do. But now you have vesafb, and so there's the potential for other things to go wrong | 00:06 |
| _Angelus_ | what i did was , added fbcon vesafb vga16fb /etc/initramfs-tools/modules , and commented vesafb | 00:08 |
| _Angelus_ | vga16fb from /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-framebuffer. then updated the initramfs image | 00:08 |
| _Angelus_ | mjg59: well, better then a blank screen or a bunch of words comming out dough | 00:08 |
| _Angelus_ | mjg59: can i make you a small question before i go ? | 00:09 |
| mjg59 | Sure | 00:10 |
| _Angelus_ | mjg59: i saw nvidiafb commented in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-framebuffer. is there only a kernel nvidiafb or the binary package from nvidia provides an nvidiafb too? if so, which is better, vesafb or nvidiafb? | 00:11 |
| mjg59 | There's only a kernel one, and it doesn't support newer nvidia hardware | 00:13 |
| _Angelus_ | oh | 00:14 |
| _Angelus_ | ok | 00:14 |
| _Angelus_ | thanks alot mjg59 :) see ya dude, and try to fix the bootup splash for the next release :P | 00:15 |

| zoke | What are the specific reasons for not adopting a Fedora style philosophy for keeping packages more updated ? | 01:21 |
| soren | And what is this "Fedora style philosophy" of which you speak? | 01:21 |
| zoke | keeping with upstream changes, bringing them quickly and keeping the delta as small as possible | 01:22 |
| zoke | could is be done via -updates or -backports ? | 01:23 |
| mjg59 | -backports would be the appropriate place | 01:23 |
| zoke | -backports is unoffical though, yes ? | 01:24 |
| mjg59 | No | 01:24 |
| RAOF | No. It's official. There are processes & such, and the repositories are hosted on Ubuntu mirrors. | 01:25 |
| zoke | oh, never mind then | 01:25 |
| RAOF | Backports *could* do with more people testing, of course. | 01:25 |
| ln- | if you already like Fedora, why not use Fedora? | 01:26 |
| zoke | I like Ubuntu, it's just some times the lack of sync with upstream irks me slightly | 01:27 |

| thegodfather | superm1: do you have any idea why mythfilldb and mythbackend are crashorama? | 05:36 |
| thegodfather | superm1: and btw.. the Predepend thing is wrong.. because we run the backup in preinst, at that time mysql is still down. it means that we need to do some more hacking in that direction i think | 05:37 |
| thegodfather | Predepend will try to configure mysql before mythtv, but that guarantees only that the mythtv postinst will run after mysql is up | 05:37 |
| superm1 | thegodfather, the backup doesn't happen in the preinst anymore | 05:45 |
| superm1 | the backend process does it itself | 05:45 |
| superm1 | after it starts up | 05:45 |
| superm1 | so the predepend should be right now | 05:45 |
| thegodfather | superm1: ok cool | 05:46 |
| thegodfather | superm1: did you ping anybody to get mythtv-common out of NEW? | 05:47 |
| superm1 | libmyth-python is whats stuck in new right now | 05:47 |
| thegodfather | yeah i know that :) | 05:47 |
| superm1 | i haven't since there is a very large line ahead of it | 05:47 |
| thegodfather | ok | 05:47 |
| superm1 | but if you'd like to feel free :) | 05:47 |
| thegodfather | well more than i like, i need | 05:49 |
| thegodfather | otherwise my frontends can't upgrade and connect to the backends :) | 05:49 |
| superm1 | have you seen any performance problems with recent packages? | 05:49 |
| superm1 | because I change mcpu/mtune to march | 05:50 |
| thegodfather | superm1: not sure really.. i noticed some skipping with dvd player, but i can't pinpoint the problem to be mythtv | 05:50 |
| superm1 | and i've seen some indications from people that its not working as well for them. I've been having issues myself performance wise before that, but wasnt sure if it got worse | 05:50 |
| thegodfather | superm1: the main frontend is slow generally | 05:50 |
| superm1 | yeah | 05:50 |
| thegodfather | superm1: can you be more specific on what kind of perf problems you see? | 05:51 |
| superm1 | well particularly video playback on higher resolutions is where the issue would see | 05:51 |
| superm1 | like > 720x480 | 05:51 |
| thegodfather | what kind of video... | 05:53 |
| thegodfather | i have that setup (>720x480) but i got it running 2 days ago | 05:53 |
| thegodfather | so i don't have much to compare | 05:53 |
| thegodfather | and no HD sources yet | 05:53 |
| thegodfather | (real HD) | 05:53 |
| superm1 | ah i see | 05:53 |
| superm1 | well i'm doing some ppa builds for users to compare with the old cpu/tune and the new arch to see if there are performance differences | 05:54 |

| dholbach | MOTU Q&A session in 17 minutes in #ubuntu-classroom | 12:43 |
| slytherin | pitti: Ok. if I understand it correctly the script will go ahead and try to download the firmware if old answer is not found. This is kind of problematic as the user may not have access to net and it will throw an error. Please let me know when you have added the old dialog again so that I will file a bug against the fwcutter package. | 12:45 |
| jaldhar | pitti: the debian bug is #457947 if you would like to take a look. The submitter has provided some extra information | 12:46 |
| pitti | jaldhar: ah, I see, SIGABRT; we explicitly ignore this since we got too many crash reports for cases where abort() was called, which weren't actually package bugs | 12:48 |
| pitti | jaldhar: I'm afraid that involves a real gdb session | 12:49 |
| jaldhar | ok. So let me see what I can come up with. Thanks. | 12:50 |

| MacSlow | mvo, just wondering... do you know why zoom was kicked from compiz-fusion-plugins-main? | 13:26 |
| === thekorn_ is now known as thekorn | ||
| mvo | MacSlow: zoom is part of the compiz-plugins package, fusion-plugs-main has ezoom | 13:27 |
| mvo | MacSlow: do you use zoom? I found ezoom superior in a lot of ways | 13:27 |
| MacSlow | the only use for zoom I have is taking closer tools to certain UI-elements now and then... and for that I prefer this "zoom-to-selection" of the normal zoom-plugin | 13:28 |
| MacSlow | ezoom does not offer that | 13:28 |
| mvo | MacSlow: ok, zoom should still be there, no sure if we enable it by default, because of ezoom | 13:30 |

| * pitti looks at ogra -- "etc/ /" and "usr /" in classmate-tools-0.1/debian/classmate-tools.install ??? | 14:21 | |
| ogra | pitti, do ysou insist in having a makefile ? | 14:23 |
| pitti | ogra: no, but I wonder why you install upstream /etc/* and /usr/* into / | 14:24 |
| ogra | oh, the slashes | 14:24 |
| pitti | sholdn't that just be "etc" and "usr" ? | 14:24 |
| ogra | hmm, i wonder why they dont end up in / | 14:24 |
| ogra | yeah, actually it should, but the binary looks ok | 14:25 |
| pitti | hm, dh_install should fail on that | 14:25 |
| pitti | ogra: ok, if it actually works, fine for me; I just wondered, because it looks weird | 14:25 |
| ogra | http://paste.ubuntu.com/4609/ | 14:26 |
| ogra | well, its surely ugly | 14:26 |
| pitti | ogra: man dh_install says "the | 14:26 |
| pitti | installation directory is given relative to the package build directory." | 14:26 |
| ogra | but the result is ok | 14:26 |
| pitti | I guess that could also be interpreted as "whatever you specify, we'll prepend debian/package" | 14:26 |
| ogra | hmm | 14:26 |
| pitti | ogra: ok, thanks for the heads-up | 14:26 |
| ogra | i'll clean it up anyway | 14:26 |
| pitti | just confusing, but apparently it is correct under above interpretation | 14:27 |
| pitti | "useradd -c "ClassmatePC Admin User" -m -p '$1$HNdD8xtG$ZYTwxGjrIBCyw3DYvtUoA0' -s /bin/bash" in classmate-settings.postinst? | 14:30 |
| pitti | ogra: ^ I heavily object to a static default password; that's not really a secret then :) | 14:30 |
| pitti | ogra: shouldn't this be locked by default and instead get a debconf/other interactive dialog to set passwords? | 14:31 |
| ogra | nop | 14:31 |
| pitti | oh, it's even written in a comment ("edubuntu") | 14:31 |

| seb128 | does anybody knows why we use /media for windows partitions mounting? the fhs describes it as "This directory contains subdirectories which are used as mount points for removeable media such as floppy disks, cdroms and zip disks." | 17:19 |
| seb128 | I'm having a discussion with the mandriva GNOME maintainer about how what gvfs should be listing | 17:20 |
| seb128 | and they have the windows partitions mounted under /mnt so they think /mnt should be listed | 17:20 |
| seb128 | where we use /media and don't list things in /mnt in nautilus | 17:21 |
| persia | seb128: I'd prefer unmounted partitions not to be in /media. I have a couple partitions I only mount manually, and it is odd that there is a difference between calling `sudo mount /data` and double-clicking the icon for the partition in nautilus. This isn't directly related to Windows partitions, but I suspect a change for Windows partitions would also address my use case. | 17:29 |
| persia | The justification being that fixed partitions not listed as automount in /etc/fstab aren't "removable media". | 17:29 |
| seb128 | persia: well, they should not be in /media then, but they are | 17:30 |
| seb128 | persia: and unmounted partitions are nowhere since they are not mounted | 17:30 |
| seb128 | persia: nautilus uses gnome-mount and do the mounting when you double click on something not mounted | 17:31 |
| persia | seb128: Right, but if I double-click the icon in "Computer", it mounts to /media, whereas if I run `mount /dev/sdb1` it mounts to /data. | 17:31 |
| persia | (maybe I have a different issue, and should go research it and report a bug) | 17:32 |
| seb128 | why would it mount to data? | 17:32 |
| seb128 | when using mount you need to either have it in fstab or specify the mountpoint | 17:32 |
| persia | seb128: Because there is an entry in the fstab to mount it there, but not to mount on boot. | 17:32 |
| seb128 | ok, that's something you added | 17:32 |
| seb128 | and gnome-mount should probably respect it | 17:32 |
| seb128 | that's a gnome-mount bug and I different issue than my question ;-) | 17:33 |
| persia | Ah. Nevermind then, I have a different bug. I'll dig up some details, and report it then. | 17:33 |
| persia | I still think fixed disks aren't removable media, and support not mounting them in /media | 17:33 |
| seb128 | well, that's not what we do now | 17:34 |
| seb128 | and why was my question ;-) | 17:34 |
| jeromeg | hello | 17:35 |
| sistpoty|work | seb128: /mnt seems an equally bad choice (temporarily mounted partitions) to me... not too sure where it *should* go then though | 17:36 |
| jeromeg | seb128: once metacity 2.22 is released, are you against a backport to gutsy ? | 17:36 |
| mario_limonciell | seb128, now that gmyth is in universe, I've attached a patch for totem to that bug to activate it (it just modifies build depends in control.in), and verified it. slomo_ offered to upload it, so was there anything else related to this that would be troublesome? | 17:36 |
| persia | My memory of Mandrake (which may not apply to Mandriva) is that there were many subdirectories under /mnt used to mount different things. | 17:37 |
| seb128 | jeromeg: no, why should we? I'm not in the backport team and don't do backports anyway | 17:40 |
| === mathiaz_ is now known as mathiaz | ||
| seb128 | mario_limonciell: I've seen that but I've quite busy at the moment, will look later | 17:40 |
| mario_limonciell | seb128, okay thank you. | 17:40 |
| jeromeg | seb128: yep yep, I know, but as it's maintained by the desktop team which you are one of the leaders, I just wanted to know your thoughts on this | 17:41 |
| seb128 | jeromeg: I don't see the interest, that's only a window manager, new versions are not bringing a lot and I don't expect many users still running gutsy when hardy will be available | 17:41 |
| jeromeg | seb128: well, it brings the compositor | 17:41 |
| jeromeg | except that, yes, it has no real interest | 17:42 |
| seb128 | echos I've had is that's it not that fancy and quite slow for many users | 17:42 |
| seb128 | but as said I'm not part of the backport team, they can backport it if they want, I've no objection | 17:42 |
| seb128 | doesn't seem a priority to me though | 17:42 |
| jeromeg | ok | 17:42 |
| jeromeg | thank you | 17:43 |
| seb128 | you are welcome | 17:43 |
| jeromeg | got to go bye | 17:49 |
| persia | seb128: No evidence that this was the basis, but the best documentation I can find is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PartitionConfigure | 18:13 |
| seb128 | persia: that spec has been deprecated | 18:15 |
| persia | seb128: Right. Like I said "No evidence that was the basis". Still, if that was discussed at uds-mtv, it may have germinated the discussion that led to the current state. Anyway, I can't find anything else :( | 18:16 |
| persia | seb128: Maybe https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PartitionProber (although old and possibly pre-specs) | 18:29 |

| slangasek | Amaranth: I see that you set the milestone yourself for bug #184720; is this being worked on? | 19:21 |

| Amaranth | slangasek: ah, well... | 19:22 |
| mario_limonciell | bddebian, well I'm attempting to debug a suspend related issue as described here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingKernelSuspend, and after the failed suspend continue to reboot. well since the RTC has a completely wrong value due to the nature of this, fsck is forced. this ends up taking longer than 3 minutes, and institutes a reboot afterward as well | 19:22 |
| mario_limonciell | corrupting the rtc and losing the valuable data | 19:22 |
| Amaranth | slangasek: I'd have to talk to bryce, tjaalton, and mvo about what we're going to do with the 965. | 19:22 |
| bdmurray | mario_limonciell: "You can avoid a long fsck delay by using 'tune2fs'" | 19:23 |
| mario_limonciell | bdmurray, oh but nvm it looks like i completely missed an option above | 19:23 |
| mario_limonciell | yeah | 19:23 |
| bryce | Amaranth: yeah we need to get that sorted out soon | 19:23 |
| mario_limonciell | bdmurray, sorry for bothering you :) | 19:23 |
| bdmurray | mario_limonciell: np if you discover what options to use somebody seems to have asked about that | 19:23 |
| slangasek | Amaranth: ok; I'm marking it as 'beta' for the milestone then so it doesn't distract from critical bugs that should be worked on immediately for alpha-5, but please don't let that stop you from working it out sooner :) | 19:24 |
| bdmurray | mario_limonciell: I mean the default ones | 19:24 |
| Amaranth | slangasek: just need to get everyone on at the same time to figure it out | 19:24 |
| Amaranth | I just pinged them, maybe they'll show up :) | 19:24 |
| Amaranth | oh, here is bryce already :) | 19:24 |
| bryce | Amaranth: tjaalton says 965 with greedy turned on, exa is ok. I'm not sure what we'd need to change to make that the default for 965. Maybe just some dexconf logic? | 19:24 |
| bryce | for non-965 I think we'd like to stay with XAA for now | 19:25 |
| Amaranth | bryce: That'd be something you'd want to do for only that 965 so it should be a change inside the driver itself | 19:25 |
| bryce | I could probably code the change, but I'd need more direction about exactly what the change needs to be (I've not tested with greedy yet myself) | 19:26 |
| mario_limonciell | bdmurray, ah yeah I'll add the default one to that page. Thanks | 19:27 |

| tjaalton | btw, my irssi doesn't highlight the channels where my nick has been mentioned other than in the beginning of the msg. did I break my config? | 19:40 |

| tjaalton | Amaranth: maybe we can coordinate this with bryce | 19:40 |
| tjaalton | persia: lrm suggests it, isn't that enough? | 19:41 |
| persia | tjaalton: Except nvidia-settings has a versioned Recommends: on nvidia-glx, which wasn't satisfied by Provides: . I'm testing a solution (as even Dapper has a new enough nvidia-glx we shouldn't have to specify a version), and will upload within the hour. | 19:42 |
| tjaalton | persia: oh ok, please fix it :) | 19:42 |
| persia | The issue is that the driver recommended the settings package, which recommended the old driver, which self-conflicted :) | 19:42 |
| tjaalton | heh | 19:43 |

| asac | bryce: are there different operations, where one might work for all and some other operation won't work (e.g. especially tile) | 21:09 |
| asac | (sorry i have not clue at all ... just looking at cairo code :)) | 21:09 |
| bryce | asac, not sure - Amaranth may know | 21:09 |
| asac | bryce: ok, one more: is tile an operation for xrendercomposite or is that something different? | 21:10 |
| Amaranth | err, Render compositing is different from the Composite extension | 21:11 |
| Amaranth | anything that has to do with Render should work everything | 21:11 |
| Amaranth | err, everywhere | 21:11 |
| bryce | ah ok | 21:11 |
| Amaranth | worst case (most of the time, actually) it just happens in software | 21:11 |
| asac | Amaranth: i have no clue. i just see that if cairo uses XRenderComposite for tiled backgrounds we get garbage for some drivers, and if we use XTile it works :) | 21:11 |
| Amaranth | this is why EXA is important, actual hardware accelerated Render :) | 21:11 |
| asac | the garbage happens for XAA | 21:12 |
| Amaranth | asac: what drivers? | 21:12 |
| Amaranth | when using XAA with intel and ati basically the entire Render extension is done in software | 21:12 |
| asac | i know about fglrx, ati and i think intel (but not sure about that) | 21:12 |
| asac | Amaranth: do you have intel? | 21:12 |
| asac | you could try by using preview on ubuntu wiki with ffox 3 | 21:12 |
| Amaranth | nope, i have nvidia | 21:13 |
| asac | http://people.ubuntu.com/~asac/corrupted1.png | 21:13 |
| asac | darn | 21:13 |
| asac | i think jorge confirmed that it happened for him with intel + XAA as well | 21:13 |
| Amaranth | fglrx, ati, and intel would all be using the same software version | 21:13 |
| asac | yeah ... where is that? | 21:13 |
| Amaranth | nvidia has their own code | 21:13 |
| Amaranth | Somewhere in the X server, I guess | 21:14 |
| asac | makes sense then | 21:14 |
| asac | hehe | 21:14 |
| asac | bryce: ^^ | 21:14 |
| ion_ | asac: That looks like a good mode to browse the Ubuntu forums. You’re guaranteed to get more informative and sensible content. | 21:14 |
| asac | lol | 21:14 |
| keescook | okay, this always eludes me, and I can never find good examples. If I'm moving a file from one binpkg to another binpkg in the same srcpkg, how do I set up the conflict/replace bits? | 21:14 |
| mjj29 | from A to B then B replaces/conflicts A (<< ${binary:Version}) | 21:15 |
| keescook | mjj29: hm, perhaps I had it backwords. I will try again. thanks! | 21:16 |
| bryce | asac, I've not seen that particular issue with firefox 3 on -intel with EXA | 21:16 |
| bryce | asac: maybe pop into #cairo and we can question cworth on it? | 21:17 |
| asac | bryce: read above: XAA | 21:17 |
| asac | bryce: well ... cworth already knows about this issue :) | 21:17 |
| bryce | tjaalton: ok, hacked up a couple patches to fix exa / 965, posted to bug 177492 | 21:27 |
| ubotu | Launchpad bug 177492 in xserver-xorg-video-intel "EXA is balls-achingly slow" [Critical,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/177492 | 21:27 |
| tjaalton | bryce: that was quick | 21:28 |
| bryce | tjaalton: I've not tested that they apply or work or anything | 21:28 |
| === \sh is now known as \sh_away | ||
| sistpoty | tjaalton: are there plans to make nvidia-glx a virtual package? | 21:35 |
| bryce | tjaalton: lemme know if you get a chance to test those patches; I'm going to grab lunch and then get back on the xrandr gui stuff | 21:35 |
| tjaalton | sistpoty: no plans, what's the use case? | 21:36 |
| tjaalton | bryce: yep, I have all the hardware right here ;) | 21:36 |
| sistpoty | tjaalton: no idea... just saw an upload of nvidia-settings from which I guessed that | 21:36 |
| tjaalton | sistpoty: ah, no there was a "conflict" before that change | 21:37 |
| sistpoty | tjaalton: ah, k... I'm adding the proper conflicts now btw. :) | 21:38 |

| tjaalton | bryce: intel compiled, xserver failed but probably not due to the patch | 22:42 |
| bryce | failed on compile or boot? | 22:43 |
| tjaalton | bryce: btw, intel needs another patch to force xaa for !I965G | 22:43 |
| tjaalton | compile | 22:43 |
| tjaalton | right, I had some git master version of mesa sources | 22:45 |
| bryce | ahh | 22:45 |
| tjaalton | another try | 22:46 |
| tjaalton | could an archive admin push the latest lrm (built) to the archive? there was a silly bug which makes nvidia owners very sad | 22:57 |
| tjaalton | bryce: ha, now the build failed again | 22:57 |
| tjaalton | bryce: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/4623/ | 22:58 |
| bryce | tjaalton: er, odd I thought I left that out of the patch, one sec | 22:58 |
| tjaalton | hmm, maybe I had a wrong version then | 22:59 |
| bryce | oh whoops no I see my error | 22:59 |
| bryce | the xserver patch should say: | 23:00 |
| bryce | + if (pScreenInfo->flags & EXA_MIGRATION_GREEDY) { | 23:00 |
| bryce | + pExaScr->migration = ExaMigrationGreedy; | 23:00 |
| bryce | + } | 23:00 |
| bryce | 23:00 | |
| bryce | ...uploading fixed patch to the bug... | 23:00 |
| jdong | bryce: schweet! fixing -intel slowness? | 23:02 |
| bryce | jdong: yeah | 23:02 |
| jdong | that's always a good thing :) | 23:02 |
| bryce | jdong: well more of a workaround | 23:02 |
| jdong | meh fix workaround.... X will be faster :) | 23:03 |
| bryce | jdong: but tjaalton says it'll let us close a whole mess of EXA/965 bugs. dell, intel, and many others will become happy | 23:03 |
| tjaalton | it's not perfect but satisfactory | 23:04 |
| jdong | awesome, that's good to hear | 23:05 |
| bryce | tjaalton: originally I had implemented my change by adding a new boolean parameter migrationGreedy to the pScreenInfo data structure, but then I realized it would be better to put it in the flags param since that'd be less invasive and wouldn't risk ABI issues | 23:06 |
| bryce | but I forgot to change that one part of the xserver patch over | 23:07 |
| tjaalton | heh, right | 23:07 |
| tjaalton | bryce: ok here goes.. | 23:19 |
| jdong | tjaalton: aaah X doesn't start anymore (kidding :D) | 23:21 |
| tjaalton | jdong, bryce: starts, but the hack doesn't seem to work yet :/ | 23:27 |
| tjaalton | I got broken shadows and stuff | 23:27 |
| bryce | hrmble | 23:29 |
| tjaalton | there's no mention on the log about forcing it | 23:30 |
| bryce | tjaalton: ok, well I'm in the midst of xrandr hackery, but will plan to look into it more when I get some time | 23:33 |
| bryce | maybe one of the other options also needs set or something | 23:34 |
| bryce | or maybe there's too many checks in the patch, and something is preventing it from turning on | 23:34 |
| tjaalton | bryce: maybe the first defined(I830_USE_EXA)? | 23:35 |
| tjaalton | hmm no | 23:36 |
| bryce | did you build the -intel driver after installing the patched xserver? | 23:37 |
| bryce | if it's done the other way 'round, then the greedy stuff won't get compiled in | 23:37 |
| tjaalton | ah | 23:37 |
| tjaalton | ok, another try | 23:40 |
| tjaalton | nope, the same | 23:42 |
| tjaalton | bryce: I'll check it again in the morning | 23:45 |
| tjaalton | night -> | 23:45 |
| bryce | tjaalton: thx, night | 23:46 |
