superm1bryce, i had to duck out earlier before i caught you.  are you around now by chance?00:41
bryceyup00:44
superm1i was gonna let you know that i talked to AMD about how to get proprietary drivers to take precedence in X auto detection00:44
superm1they indicated that simply shipping a /usr/share/xserver-xorg/pci/00fglrx.ids (and similar for nvidia) should do the trick00:45
superm1so long as those are shipped in the appropriate driver packages (since you only want them in those cases), should work00:45
bryceah ok00:54
superm1i'm at a bit of a loss how exactly the name gets put into it, but i'll do some experimenting with it next week00:55
superm1so long as it works right (and you're cool with the idea of putting that in the packages), i'll add it in00:55
bryceI'm not really sure, I'd need to consider it more closely.  I'd especially like to get timo's opinion on it.00:57
superm1ok, then its good i brought it up before just "doing that".  i'll touch bases with you after i get a chance to make sure it works properly00:58
bryceok great00:59
tjaaltonbryce: cool, I should've done something for mesa, but didn't..09:15
tjaaltonbut there's life beyond .109:17
jcristausuperm1: that won't work i think, it'll load the '00fglrx' driver10:49
superm1jcristau, yeah that's what i was thinking too.  perhaps it will have to be diverting the ati driver and using fglrx.ids then14:20
superm1i'll see what happens for me when i start to try it14:20
jcristauewww diversions14:21
