| asac | tjaalton: bryce: how can i figure the driver used for a display? | 14:25 |
| asac | if not driver, maybe i can figure the accellmethod used? | 14:25 |
| asac | (at best programmatically) | 14:25 |
| tjaalton | asac: I don't think there's a better way than parsing the log :/ | 14:27 |
| tjaalton | randr might support it some time | 14:28 |
| asac | darn | 14:31 |
| asac | isn't there an property or something :( | 14:31 |
| asac | tjaalton: xdpyinfo displays a bunch of extensions. maybe i can guess something from that? | 14:32 |
| asac | tjaalton: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5404/ | 14:32 |
| asac | thats hat it spits out for me | 14:32 |
| asac | ok at least we could figure fglrx from that i guess :) | 14:33 |

| asac | (e.g. the question is: how to best build upstream code, while not wiping my existing install) | 15:39 |
| jcristau | asac: http://hoegsberg.blogspot.com/2008/02/building-and-installing-drmdrix-stack.html | 16:01 |
| jcristau | that might help | 16:01 |

| tjaalton | asac: xdpyinfo doesn't seem to reveal the driver, at least not directly :/ | 17:58 |
| asac | yeah ... cworth said that such info is currently not exposed by xserver | 18:02 |
| asac | would need to be added | 18:02 |
| asac | tjaalton: ^^ | 18:02 |
| jcristau | i don't think there's any plan to add that | 18:03 |
| tjaalton | shame | 18:21 |
| jcristau | why? | 18:22 |
| tjaalton | well, it could prove useful.. sometimes :) | 18:23 |
| tjaalton | can't think of a use case for myself though | 18:24 |
| bryce | it's a question that's come up a number of times, for various reasons | 18:30 |
| bryce | (usually due to a need to work around some driver-specific problem or other) | 18:30 |
| jcristau | but then you end up with a pile of workarounds which stay around longer than the driver bugs | 18:38 |
| bryce | jcristau: in each case they ended up using the parse-Xorg.0.log, so not providing that data did not achieve that stability-through-secrecy aim | 18:52 |
| jcristau | well i don't think it's about secrecy. more about not encouraging broken things like that. and you don't have access to Xorg.0.log if you're a remote client :) | 18:54 |
| bryce | I think there is value in having increased information such as the driver for testing purposes | 18:55 |
| bryce | I've run into this answer before ("not wishing to encourage misuse") but there are definitely legitimate uses for having such info | 18:56 |
| bryce | plus, there are drivers we cannot easily fix, so we have no choices but to work around the issues | 18:57 |
| jcristau | anyway. /me goes back to uploading this week's new releases | 18:58 |
