| pwnguin | well ive assumed it was on the way, but i never saw any actual blueprint or anything for it | 01:35 |
|---|---|---|
| Q-FUNK | hmm... I just noticed: actually, briceg's package for -nsc doesn't intorduce the -dbg package. for everything else, yes, his package supercedes what we have in intrepid. | 11:39 |
| tseliot | tjaalton: please try my PPA when you can. I have fixed the bugs reported by superm1. There's no hurry though. | 11:48 |
| tjaalton | tseliot: ok, I'll check them out tomorrow when I'm back home. GPRS is too slow ;) | 11:53 |
| unggnu | hi all | 12:00 |
| unggnu | I guess -intel driver 2.3.1 doesn't make it as a backport to Hardy? | 12:00 |
| tseliot | tjaalton: ok ;) | 12:02 |
| unggnu | So I can close a bug as Fixed released if it is fixed in Intrepid and post the link to the 2.3.1 driver for Hardy from bryce? | 12:03 |
| Q-FUNK | tjaalton: would you have time to look at bug #240349 ? | 12:19 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 240349 in xserver-xorg-video-geode "Please sync xserver-xorg-video-geode 2.10.0-1 (main) from Debian unstable (main)." [Wishlist,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/240349 | 12:19 |
| Q-FUNK | and bug #240345 - for this one, I just noticed that bgoglin's package doens't have the -dbg target which mine has. | 12:20 |

| m-c | Is there an Ubuntu package that I can try the open source AMD/ATI drivers that are being developed based on the recently released specifications? | 14:25 |
| m-c | Or are these already used by default, when the Restricted Drivers are disabled? | 14:25 |
| m-c | And is there a chat channel or web forum with more information and with links to the latest drivers? | 14:26 |
| tjaalton | Q-FUNK: done | 15:00 |
| Q-FUNK | tjaalton: thanks! | 15:01 |
| tjaalton | m-c: it's used by default, yes | 15:01 |
| m-c | I am going to try and use a more up-to-date version 1.2.1 - because there are problems, like colors of pictures and fonts, with the default settings. | 15:09 |
| m-c | Following this guide >> http://www.phoronix.com/forums/showthread.php?s=e6059bf57a04b2327f00af4663511407&t=9951 | 15:10 |
| m-c | The release notes say that my card - RV635 - is specifically targeted in the 1.2.1 release | 15:12 |
| m-c | Anyway, I purchased an AMD card yesterday just to participate with these driver developments. Great to see a open 3D solution available with off the shelf, consumer graphic cards. | 15:13 |
| Q-FUNK | m-c: which PCI ID does the card have? | 15:14 |
| tjaalton | m-c: that's the radeonhd-driver | 15:15 |
| tjaalton | the one used by default is -ati | 15:16 |
| tjaalton | and a new version was recently released (6.8.191) | 15:16 |
| m-c | Q-FUNK: This should be everything about the card, fyi: http://pastebin.com/d7f697513 | 15:20 |
| Q-FUNK | ok, so it's still counted as an ATI product. excellent. | 15:21 |
| m-c | I like to say AMD video card, because I am reluctant to give ATI credit for the exciting release of the open graphic specifications. ;) | 15:24 |
| m-c | Thanks for your thought, off to test the new driver. | 15:25 |
| Q-FUNK | tjaalton: http://forum.ubuntu-fi.org/index.php?topic=12898.msg102216#msg102216 | 17:05 |
| Q-FUNK | tjaalton: days like these, I cannot help but laugh | 17:05 |
| m-c | Hi - I do not really understand the process involved with making changes to the xorg.conf , while still relying primarily on the Ubuntu configuration tools. | 17:11 |
| m-c | In my situation, I am happy with the automagically generated configuration, but I want to add a Virtual display mode, to support dual monitors. | 17:12 |
| m-c | When I add this line to xorg.conf - the xserver hiccups. Is there a way to add functionality for dual screens with the Ubuntu toolset? | 17:13 |
| m-c | Is editing the xorg.conf still the recommended way to get this type of functionality, or is this not compatible with using the Ubuntu tools | 17:13 |
| * m-c reads the wiki. | 17:14 | |
| m-c | Thanks - the wiki had the details on setting dual screens. | 17:27 |
| === pwnguin__ is now known as pwnguin | ||
| m-c | receiving errors from glxinfo that /usr/lib/dri/swrast_dri.so is missing (and it is). Should this library be within the " libgl1-mesa-dri " Ubuntu package? | 20:12 |
| m-c | ... or any ideas what swrast means? :) | 20:12 |
| bryce | (I put out a new -psb this morning, to ume ppa) | 20:24 |
| bryce | m-c: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/XorgOnTheEdge | 20:31 |
| m-c | Yes, a good resource, thank you | 20:31 |
| m-c | I think I have this figured out. Means the driver is failing to a software rendering library. | 20:32 |
| robert_ | does anyone know when the xserver on ubuntu will be updated to version 1.5 with x86_64 support ? it's to complex for me to build, but i would like to get DRI working. i googled and found that fedora released a pre-release version 1.5 http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/XserverOnePointFive | 22:30 |
| bryce | robert_: we're waiting on a dependency or two, but expect it should be ready within a week or two | 22:50 |
| robert_ | thanks that sounds great (within a week or two) | 22:52 |
| bryce | well, don't quote me, that's an optimistic guess | 22:53 |
| robert_ | yes i know those optimistic guesses, i don't quote only emphasis :D i hope the radeonhd driver will be working too in a week or two :D | 22:55 |
| bryce | why do you use radeonhd rather than -ati? | 22:55 |
| robert_ | hmm do you think it would be better to use the fglrx or ati drivers? | 22:56 |
| bryce | well, ati has been making tons of improvements, and I'm hoping by Intrepid's release to have it good enough for most every usage. | 22:57 |
| robert_ | i tested the fglrx driver with my Radeon HD 3650 (RV635) and i get black flicker while starting opengl | 22:57 |
| bryce | I know there's cases where newer cards aren't supported by -ati, but am curious if there are any other reasons, so we can try to get those situations addressed | 22:58 |
| bryce | -ati from git has support for RV635, so maybe in the next -ati upload we do, that will become an option | 22:59 |
| bryce | if you're up for building -ati from git, I'd be interested in hearing your opinion on it with your card | 22:59 |
| robert_ | what is -ati ? is that a package or the propri driver from ati? | 22:59 |
| robert_ | do you mean http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Installation_Guide | 23:01 |
| bryce | -ati aka -radeon, the standard open source driver for ATI cards | 23:03 |
| bryce | not -fglrx, which is what http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Installation_Guide talks about | 23:03 |
| robert_ | git which builds xserver-xorg-video-ati? | 23:05 |
| m-c | Sounds like the resolution to my issues is also a newer version of xserver. This is arriving soon? Great. | 23:30 |
| m-c | I just picked up the same card as robert. :) | 23:30 |
