[00:59] <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
[02:03] <Ng> which is weird since it looks like our 2.4.0 has at least some of the 2.4.1 fixes as patches
[02:26] <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
[12:44] <jcristau> Ng: so 2.4.0 is broken, and 2.4.1 works?
[13:52] <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
[14:00] <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
[14:01] <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 ;)
[14:03] <Ng> I'll play with XvMC later, but aiui that only helps with mpeg2?
[14:05] <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
[14:06] <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
[14:09] <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
