| DHR | I *hope* that this counts as developer discussion. Hardy's kernel has a bug that I reported. The response was that there was a fix in 2.6.27. But 2.6.27 doesn't work because there is no v86d, needed for uvesafb. Is this easy to fix? Will it be fixed? See http://kernel.ubuntu.com/pub/next/2.6.27-rc3/{all,hardy} | 01:28 |

| DHR | Separate question. Some BIOSes set up the MTRRs with nested ranges. Several X video drivers cannot then change their video buffers to Write Combining; they either refuse to run (proprietary ATI driver, for example) or run at reduced efficiency (Intel driver). | 01:32 |
| DHR | Solution 1: There is a kernel patch to reorganize MTRRs to solve this. Solution 2: The better approach is to use PAT, and this will happen eventually. Solution 3 (maybe): I've written a userland program to reorganize MTRRs. | 01:33 |
| DHR | Is anyone here interested in my program for Solution 3? | 01:34 |
| DHR | My first question relates to bug 246269 | 01:35 |
| DHR | My second relates to bug 224404 | 01:37 |
| CarlFK | DHR: im no dev, but my advice is to post your comments and patches to the bug reports | 01:40 |
| DHR | CarlFK: thanks. I have done so for the first but gotten no response. I'm working on responding to the second. | 01:43 |

| stephantom | hey there. I've just upgraded a testing machine to intrepid, and the new kernel won't boot. normally there would be something useful in the logs that would tell me what's wrong. but I can't find anything. it just... stops. have a look, please: http://nopaste.biz/51874 | 12:57 |
| stephantom | any ideas? | 12:57 |
| abogani | stephantom: Do you already tried to boot disabling acpi? | 13:07 |
| stephantom | nope, will do that | 13:08 |
| abogani | stephantom: and also with wlan turned off. | 13:08 |
| stephantom | i had a feeling that might be an issue :) | 13:09 |
| abogani | :-) | 13:10 |
| DBO | is there any realistic way I can look to help Ubuntu support suspend on my thinkpad (intel GPU) | 14:57 |

| DBO | where do I ask for help with Suspend in intrepid? There seems to be very few people with a good working set of knowledge on the subject | 23:01 |
| DBO | I have a new Thinkpad T500 and am willing to allow remote access if need be | 23:01 |
| DBO | also willing to allow complete system trashing | 23:01 |
| DBO | it just got installed | 23:01 |
