| Ng | is -intel 2.4.1 going to be able to sneak into intrepid? | 00:59 |
|---|---|---|
| Ng | it seems to work with vt switching on G45 better | 00:59 |
| Ng | which is weird since it looks like our 2.4.0 has at least some of the 2.4.1 fixes as patches | 02:03 |
| Ng | jcristau: debian | 02:26 |
| Ng | err | 02:26 |
| Ng | jcristau: debua bug #494441 - I got that when I was messing around with having an xorg.conf. not having it works fine | 02:26 |
| ubottu | Error: Launchpad bug 494441 could not be found | 02:26 |
| jcristau | Ng: so 2.4.0 is broken, and 2.4.1 works? | 12:44 |
| Ng | jcristau: ish, yeah. in intrepid's 2.4.0 changing vt seems to pretty much break everything, and also if usplash is enabled then X doesn't start properly | 13:52 |
| Ng | jcristau: but 2.4.1 seems a lot happier | 13:52 |
| Ng | having textured video is nice too, although it seems like it's not syncing properly, I'm getting.... well I'm not sure how to describe it correctly, but I can see a break move down the video sometimes where it's like above the break and below it aren't quite rendering in sync | 14:00 |
| Ng | I think this is the vblank sync thing? (although this is HDMI output to a TV, so I'm not sure that there is a vblank ;) | 14:01 |
| Ng | I switched from DVI to HDMI this morning and I don't seem to be having the display blank out every minute or so, so maybe there is something wrong with the DVI connector, or my cable | 14:01 |
| Ng | but switching to HDMI is fine by me ;) | 14:01 |
| Ng | I'll play with XvMC later, but aiui that only helps with mpeg2? | 14:03 |
| jcristau | i don't think xvmc is supported on your chipset | 14:05 |
| Ng | ah | 14:05 |
| jcristau | only 915/945 and g33, according to the manpage | 14:05 |
| Ng | it seems like the hardware has video acceleration stuff, but maybe that's just not supported via current X stuff? | 14:06 |
| jcristau | yeah it's just missing from the driver | 14:06 |
| Ng | ok :) | 14:06 |
| jcristau | there's also a branch for xvmc on 965 but it's not quite done afaik | 14:06 |
| Ng | from what I can find on blog postings, it seems like the drm/gem stuff is nearing done, but won't be in the kernel until 2.6.28 | 14:09 |
