[01:36] <bryce> tjaalton: cool, the patch for bug 199700 looks like it will clear up one of the xrandr bugs I noticed in testing the xrandr gui

[02:15] <bryce> hrm, the patches I backported seem not to fix the issue.  rats.  I am not running across other likely candidate patches tho...  maybe just need a way to shut off the xrandr stuff for these drivers

[06:11] <tjaalton> bryce: I'll probably pull in all the changes that are in the server-1.4-branch, and cherry pick some that were proposed
[06:11] <bryce> tjaalton: ok
[06:11] <tjaalton> like a couple of modesetting patches from intel
[06:13] <tjaalton> bryce: what do you think of libx11-1.1.4? it was released last week, and contains a bunch of manpage fixes, a couple of important patches and some Compose-file fixes
[06:16] <bryce> the patches might be nice, esp. if they close any of our high/critical bugs
[06:16] <bryce> is it mostly a bugfix release?
[06:17] <tjaalton> yes
[06:17] <tjaalton> fixes bug 66104
[06:17] <bryce> in that case I'd support it, if it's not too late in the freeze
[06:17]  * tjaalton slaps ubotu
[06:19] <tjaalton> I'll test it first
[06:26] <tjaalton> I also filed a couple of driver sync-requests (nv, aiptek). also we'd need the latest wacom from upstream, but I haven't been able to make it compile :/

[06:53] <bryce> tjaalton: the xrandr gui bugs are a bit perplexing to me; I am waiting for further feedback from testers but don't understand why it is breaking on radeonhd, which *should* support xrandr 1.2.  Unfortunately the backtraces provided don't give enough context to figure it out.
[06:53] <bryce> meanwhile I've been reviewing other bugs/patches
[07:21] <bryce> tjaalton: would you mind uploading bartman's package update from https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-amd/+bug/197069?

[07:47] <tjaalton> I read from the newspaper that the gas price in the US might advance to $4/gallon this year.. I wonder what would happen if it was $8 like it is here :)

[07:48] <tjaalton> shower->
[07:58] <bryce> tjaalton: maybe for every $1 it increases while under Republicans, we invade another oil producing nation?
[07:59] <bryce> tjaalton: I've just finished reviewing all the xorg bugs-with-patches listed at http://daniel.holba.ch/really-fix-it/.  
[08:00] <bryce> most turned out to be invalid.  Some were out of date, others weren't really patches (xorg.conf's, etc. tagged as patches), others were patches rejected by subsequent review comments, etc.  There were just a few (like the -amd patch) that looked worth applying
[08:00] <bryce> once daniel's page updates we should see the list trimmed down a lot
[08:08] <tjaalton> yeah I took a brief look at it yesterday
[08:08] <bryce> tjaalton: here is some additional background on the above patch:  http://www.jukie.net/~bart/blog/fixing-x-for-geode-lx
[08:12] <tjaalton> ah that one
[08:12] <bryce> ah, check Martin-Eric's reply there
[08:13] <bryce> sounds like we could just sync 2.7.7.7 to get it
[08:15] <tjaalton> yep, maybe wait for that
[08:31] <tjaalton> hmm, maybe I'll just add the two patches for current libx11, saves all the paperwork
[08:34] <bryce> yeah
[08:34] <bryce> btw, today is Inkscape 0.46 release day :-)
[08:34] <tjaalton> congrats :)
[08:34] <bryce> or at least, release for Linux.  Windows still has some critical bugs so I'm going to hold off on doing the PR for a couple weeks to give the windows porters some additional time
[08:35] <tjaalton> it's been a while since I used it.. designed a custom label for a beer bottle
[08:35] <bryce> hopefully there's still time to get it into Hardy, Fedora, Debian, etc.
[08:35] <bryce> nice :-)
[08:35] <bryce> hey, with 0.46 you can now also use it for editing/creating PDFs with text and graphics
[08:39] <tjaalton> cool

[09:38] <soren> No, it's not.
[09:40] <tjaalton> heh
[09:51] <Ng> backlight support isn't really X's problem, is it
[09:52] <tjaalton> no, I think it might be some drm changes that broke it
[09:54] <Ng> well, it may well be that it's just not supported on this hardware yet
[09:54] <Ng> acpi is seeing the key events and updating the bar thingy onscreen, but the brightness doesn't change
[09:55] <tjaalton> it's broken for me too
[09:55] <Ng> interesting

[09:55] <Ng> I don't have a working datapoint on this to know, but I suppose I could boot a gutsy livecd or somehting

[11:08] <seb128> is there anything obviously wrong there, http://paste.ubuntu.com/5571 ?
[11:09] <seb128> the corresponding config is http://paste.ubuntu.com/5570
[11:09] <seb128> that's weird, the xorg.conf specifies nvidia and the log has vesa without nvidia trace
[11:10] <tjaalton> that's failsafe for you :)
[11:10] <tjaalton> check .old
[11:10] <seb128> shouldn't that display the displayconfig-gtk interface on failsafe?
[11:10] <tjaalton> it doesn't?
[11:10] <tjaalton> it should yes
[11:12] <tjaalton> there have been reports about nvidia being unable to load, but no updates there either
[11:12] <tjaalton> other than the kernel
[11:13] <tjaalton> that log is from gutsy with feisty kernel, so no wonder it doesn't work
[11:13] <seb128> he has geforce 6200, apparently nv works but breaks when activating glx
[11:13] <seb128> and nvidia doesn't work either

[11:13] <tjaalton> he needs to compile nvidia-glx* against that
[11:14] <tjaalton> I thought it was hardy
[11:15] <seb128> no, he's using gutsy
[11:16] <tjaalton> but with a custom kernel, so it's up to him to fix that :)
[11:18] <seb128> linux didn't get upgraded apparently
[11:18] <seb128> he likely removed linux-image or whatever is responsive for the transition
