[01:28] <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}
[01:32] <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).
[01:33] <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.
[01:34] <DHR> Is anyone here interested in my program for Solution 3?
[01:35] <DHR> My first question relates to bug 246269
[01:37] <DHR> My second relates to bug 224404
[01:40] <CarlFK> DHR: im no dev, but my advice is to post your comments and patches to the bug reports 
[01:43] <DHR> CarlFK: thanks.  I have done so for the first but gotten no response.  I'm working on responding to the second.
[12:57] <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?
[13:07] <abogani> stephantom: Do you already tried to boot disabling acpi?
[13:08] <stephantom> nope, will do that
[13:08] <abogani> stephantom: and also with wlan turned off.
[13:09] <stephantom> i had a feeling that might be an issue :)
[13:10] <abogani> :-)
[14:57] <DBO> is there any realistic way I can look to help Ubuntu support suspend on my thinkpad (intel GPU)
[23:01] <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
