| tseliot | tjaalton: bump what? | 00:07 |
|---|---|---|
| tseliot | I can't drop the Provides, otherwise the packages wouldn't replace each other | 00:08 |
| tseliot | ok, maybe you can send me an email about this | 00:11 |
| m-c | bryce: I believe you are quoted in the latest Phoronix article. http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=NjU3Mw I wanted to add my two cents, in case your opinion is to can BulletProofX. | 01:43 |
| m-c | I wanted to say that the ability of a novice to get into a GUI, launch Xchat or Firefox, regardless of how messed up the x-configuration is due to kernel updates or other strange x-auto-config tools, well, I feel getting a basic X GUI up in those cases is one of Ubuntu's biggest advantages. | 01:44 |
| m-c | Anyway, good luck with all the important work here. And I hope the integration of the new AMD/Novell open 3D "radeon" and "radeonHD" drivers goes well, for the next ubuntu release. Kind regards. | 01:45 |
| tseliot | tjaalton: can you explain me what you meant by ABI bump last night? ABI bump for what? The kernel? | 09:12 |
| tjaalton | they Provide: xserver-xorg-video-2 | 09:13 |
| tjaalton | which is useful if you only want to have the binary driver installed | 09:13 |
| tjaalton | so probably the best fix would be to add a build-dep on xserver-xorg-dev and generate the abiver like the rest of the drivers do | 09:14 |
| tjaalton | because then the same package would be easier to backport (if someone would like that) | 09:14 |
| tjaalton | ie. don't hardcode the abiver | 09:15 |
| tjaalton | and that's the video-abi version of the xserver | 09:15 |
| tseliot | tjaalton: I had never noticed this thing before. Would I just have to add that build-dep without touching the rest? | 09:21 |
| tjaalton | tseliot: you need to change the rules too. see any free driver package how it's done | 09:22 |
| tjaalton | they use the xsfbs-stuff, but you can just copy a few lines straight to the rules | 09:22 |
| tseliot | tjaalton: which part of this file? http://pastebin.com/m7a8358f6 | 09:25 |
| tseliot | this is the rules of the Intel driver | 09:25 |
| tjaalton | include debian/xsfbs/xsfbs.mk | 09:26 |
| tjaalton | see that | 09:26 |
| tseliot | yes | 09:26 |
| tseliot | and that's it? | 09:26 |
| tjaalton | theres a function 'serverabi' | 09:26 |
| tseliot | ok, I see it | 09:27 |
| tjaalton | copy that in rules, and call it from binary-arch: | 09:27 |
| tjaalton | should work | 09:27 |
| tseliot | ok, I can do it | 09:29 |
| tseliot | thanks :-) | 09:29 |
| tjaalton | you don't need the "xinpdriver" line | 09:29 |
| tseliot | where? | 09:30 |
| tjaalton | from the function | 09:30 |
| tjaalton | oh and also see the control file | 09:30 |
| tjaalton | there's Provides: $(xviddriver:Provides) | 09:31 |
| tseliot | I don't see any xinpdriver. Yes, I will have a look at the control file | 09:32 |
| tjaalton | in xsfbs.mk.. | 09:33 |
| tseliot | ah, I should have paid more attention to the path of the include in rules | 09:34 |
| tseliot | ok, I will add that folder too | 09:35 |
| tjaalton | it's enough to just copy the function/rule to debian/rules | 09:35 |
| tseliot | ok, only serverabi then? | 09:36 |
| tjaalton | yes | 09:37 |
| tseliot | which package should the debian/$(PACKAGE).substvars be created for? | 09:39 |
| tjaalton | the one with the driver | 09:39 |
| tjaalton | ie. the one with the current Provides... | 09:39 |
| tjaalton | replace xserver-xorg-video-2 with $(xviddriver:Provides) | 09:40 |
| tseliot | nvidia-<VER>-kernel-source | 09:40 |
| tjaalton | no, it's nvidia-glx-VER which provides that | 09:41 |
| tseliot | ah, ok | 09:42 |
| tseliot | and that's it? | 09:42 |
| tjaalton | pretty much | 09:43 |
| tseliot | I won't have to include the mk file since I will just copy the function I need, right? | 09:45 |
| tjaalton | right | 09:45 |
| tseliot | I don't think we can backport the drivers without effort since the patches which I wrote are specific to 2.6.26 kernels | 09:46 |
| tseliot | Maybe from Intrepid+1 to Intrepid... | 09:46 |
| tjaalton | well, it's still one step less to do manually | 10:03 |
| tseliot | sure | 10:04 |
| BUGabundo_work1 | tseliot: hi there | 11:36 |
| BUGabundo_work1 | bryce: any news on nVidia driver for 2.6.26 ? | 11:36 |
| BUGabundo_work1 | tseliot: http://www.albertomilone.com/driver.html link is dead | 11:38 |
| tseliot | BUGabundo_work1: we're still testing the drivers | 11:39 |
| BUGabundo_work1 | thanks | 11:48 |
| BUGabundo_work1 | oh he went way | 11:48 |
| tjaalton | bryce: I've done a small script for just that.. input drivers ready for upload | 15:42 |
| tjaalton | well, still waiting for ia64 | 15:42 |
| tjaalton | video drivers ready as well | 15:56 |
| tjaalton | bbl, gone to play some ultimate -> | 15:57 |
| bryce | heya alex-weej | 18:32 |
| bryce | alex-weej: I missed you earlier, but yes I think I could mentor you on the color profile work | 18:33 |
| bryce | tjaalton: ok cool, let me know where I could help | 18:34 |
| alex-weej | bryce: wicked, i'll work a bit on the spec/whiteboard more and ping you when i'm done if that's cool? | 18:44 |
| bryce | great :-) | 18:44 |
| tormod | tjaalton: hi, I built the server from git (1.5 branch) and now I need "AllowEmptyInput" for mouse and keyboard to work. is the input hotplugging not up to task? | 18:45 |
| * tormod has to run | 19:01 | |
| tjaalton | bryce: heh, it's just about pressing the red button :) | 19:29 |
| tjaalton | bryce: actually, you could merge the video drivers that we have changed | 19:30 |
| tjaalton | or just add a note about a rebuild | 19:30 |
| tjaalton | but don't upload just yet | 19:30 |
| tjaalton | gone again.. -> | 19:30 |
| tjaalton | tormod: so you don't have any inputdevice-sections on the xorg.conf? | 23:32 |
| tjaalton | (I'm back) | 23:32 |
| tormod | tjaalton: hi, I tried both without xorg.conf and with the autogenerated one (I think it had a mouse and a keyboard section) | 23:34 |
| tjaalton | tormod: strange, it works on my laptop.. | 23:35 |
| tjaalton | input-hotplug is another story.. | 23:35 |
| tormod | I also tried replugging the keyboard and mouse without luck. only the AEI option worked. | 23:35 |
| tormod | I guess it is the last commit in xserver: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/commit/?h=server-1.5-branch&id=c30f36c8c1dfd85deaf1c109823a1f15dd218ac7 | 23:36 |
| tjaalton | whee, xorg-server built on all archs | 23:36 |
| tormod | do you have that one on your laptop? | 23:36 |
| tjaalton | tormod: no, rc5 | 23:37 |
| tormod | that would explain it | 23:37 |
| tjaalton | and that's also in the archive | 23:37 |
| tjaalton | so there's a bug? let sascha know about it :) | 23:37 |
| tormod | that's my question, is it a bug in xserver or is it the Hardy stuff that needs something special? | 23:38 |
| tormod | do you know Sascha's irc nick? | 23:39 |
| tjaalton | no I don't .. | 23:39 |
| Kano | hi tjaalton , why does intrepid have got a fbdev override entry in xorg.conf which prevents x from starting on many systems? | 23:41 |
| tjaalton | Kano: it's not set on i386/amd64 | 23:44 |
| Kano | well i installed it today | 23:44 |
| Kano | and there was an override flag there which was not on hardy | 23:45 |
| tjaalton | check xserver-xorg.postinst and find out why it's set | 23:45 |
| Kano | it is | 23:45 |
| Kano | ppc might need it but nothing else | 23:45 |
| tjaalton | check the postinst.. | 23:46 |
| Kano | it is your package, check it | 23:46 |
| tjaalton | uh | 23:46 |
| tjaalton | no | 23:46 |
| tjaalton | I don't have hardware where it's broken. you find out why it is and report back | 23:47 |
| tjaalton | it's not like xorg has changed.. | 23:47 |
| tjaalton | something else has | 23:47 |
| Kano | also i dont think that it will work with your kernel config anyway | 23:58 |
| Kano | because vesafb is disabled and for uvesafb the user mode tools are missig | 23:59 |
