brycetjaalton: do you know of any other major issues we absolutely must sort out before the beta freeze tonight?00:16
brycetjaalton: when you do the mesa upload, would you mind checking these fedora patches and mark them 'reviewed' if we don't need them?  http://daniel.holba.ch/harvest/handler.py?pkg=mesa02:13

DBOhey all03:30
brycehi03:30
DBOmind giving a bit of help trying to get a more recent i915.ko?  suspend is broken on my system when the drm module is loaded03:30
DBOso I am trying to get things a bit more up to date (I should mention I am already on intrepid)03:31
brycesorry, pretty busy atm (beta-freeze is tonight).03:32
DBO=/ does that mean that suspend bugs will not be fixed?03:33
bryceif you have a patch ready, I can look at putting it in03:34
DBOunfortunately no, I am only just now figuring out what is causing the problem03:35
DBObut it seems to be somehow related to DRM not suspending pretty03:35
brycealthough most suspend bugs are kernel issues so you'd probably need a kernel engineer to approve your patch03:35
DBOit is a kernel module bug03:35
DBOdrm.ko03:35
bryceyou probably need the kernel guys then03:36
DBObryce, do you know what version of X i need for GEM?03:46
pwnguinbryce: hope you get better luck working with linuxwacom than i did =/04:17
brycepwnguin: do tell?04:45
pwnguinwell, ive tried forwarding bugs to their tracker, but they basically said not to use the bug tracker.04:47
pwnguin(should it come with a INTERNAL USE ONLY notice?)04:47
brycehuh05:00
bryceso why don't they disable it?05:00

tjaaltonbryce: I already uploaded it :)06:50
tjaaltonbryce: but i'll have a look at those patches06:51
tjaaltonbryce: also, wacom is busted for some weeks now06:51
tjaaltonsince the 0.8.1.3 upload (which was requested by many..)06:51
tjaaltonkernel support is lacking06:52
tjaaltonbut I'll package 0.8.1.406:52
tjaaltonmaybe we can get the kernel driver synced to that06:52
tjaaltonbryce: should we just drop -unichrome from the archive?07:05
tjaaltonupstream has ported it to libpciaccess, but still..07:08

Kano64hi, just tested latest daily with my nvidia 8800 gts and without binary driver i get just black screen14:59
Kano64http://paste.ubuntu.com/50492/14:59
Kano64thats the logfile, i see basically no error,but i see nothing.14:59
Kano64monitor is just black, 19" crt15:00
tjaaltona CTX from '98?15:02
Kano64yes, it is pretty old15:02
Kano64i guess the card tries to use digital port not the vga one15:03
Kano64(II) NV(0): Output DVI1 connected 15:03
Kano64but i use a dvi->vga connector15:03
Kano64i can install binary drivers and then i see something15:05
tjaaltonthey probably have some quirks for such monitors15:06
Kano64http://paste.ubuntu.com/50495/15:06
Kano64thats with binary driver15:07
Kano64(II) NVIDIA(0): Assigned Display Device: CRT-1 15:08
Kano64the old crt is detected as dvi with the oss driver15:09
tjaaltonnv is crap15:09
Kano64it should be fixed...15:09
jcristauKano64: bugs.freedesktop.org is ----> that way15:09
tjaaltonyou could try a newer driver.. .12 available15:10
tjaaltonwe have .1015:10
Kano64is there a deb15:10
tjaaltonno15:10
Kano64so packaged .12, will try now15:18
Kanotjaalton: nv .12 does not help15:19
Kanohave to go,bbl15:20
mvoso what happens if a driver (say "ati") does understand options in the "device" section (because this section was e.g. switched from fglrx to ati) - does the driver just ignore the unknown options (my tests indidcate this is the case)15:25
jcristauyes15:27
mvoexcellent, thanks! 15:53

Le-Chuck_ITAHi all. Do you think git://git.freedesktop.org/git/xorg/driver/xf86-video-intel is the correct git master for xserver-xorg-video-intel? I am a bit confused by the "xf86" at the beginning of the module name16:48
Le-Chuck_ITAI need to test that to complete a bug report against 16:48
Le-Chuck_ITAX16:48
jcristauuse anongit.fd.o rather than git.fd.o, but otherwise yes16:49
Le-Chuck_ITAI used "git.fd.o" and it worked :) should I redownload or is it just a matter of resource usage?16:50
jcristauit's ok16:50
Le-Chuck_ITAaargh. I installed build-deps but it requires librdm 2.4. Am I going into a hell of unsatisfied dependencies? If so I have to decline the request16:52
jcristaulibdrm should be all you need16:52
jcristaugit clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/mesa/drm16:53
Ngisn't there some magic you need to do to build current libdrm without GEM?16:58
tjaaltonNg: apart from patching the source, doubtful17:10
tjaaltonconfigure checks that you have >= 2.4.017:10
jcristaulibdrm doesn't have any build-deps...17:10
Nghrm, ok, I did vaguely give it a try and didn't get very far, but that may have been my fault ;)17:13
tjaaltonsuperm1: hey, I uploaded a new fglrx-installer earlier today, and added the Provides: xserver-xorg-video-2, which should prevent upgrades hosing the machine17:26
superm1tjaalton, yeah i saw.  that's a good solution for now17:26
superm1i was thinking about another thing here17:26
tjaaltonie. it should be removed on upgrade from hardy17:27
tjaaltonok, shoot17:27
jcristauthe hardy version provides -video-2 too?17:27
superm1tjaalton, bryce tseliot would it be possible to ship an fdi file that set xorg.conf options for enabling the nvidia driver instead?17:27
superm1and fglrx when it's fixed17:27
tjaaltonjcristau: yes, it does17:27
jcristauok :)17:27
superm1since so many other things can be turned on/off via fdi files, it seems like it should be sensible enough to do for X proprietary drivers too17:28
tjaaltonsuperm1: unfortunately driver properties aren't supported yet17:28
superm1tjaalton, oh i see17:28
tseliottoo bad17:28
tjaaltoner, video driver properties17:28
jcristausuperm1: xorg only uses hal for input devices17:28
superm1jcristau, ah i see17:28
tjaaltonI asked about it a couple of weeks ago, and it's WIP17:29
jcristaumaybe you could ship /usr/share/xserver-xorg/nvidia.ids though17:29
jcristauwith the pci ids of the supported chips for the driver, if you have that17:30
superm1perhaps that'd be something that can be something that should be looked at UDS this winter again then, see where it's at and if there is anything that can be helped from this level to push it along17:30
superm1jcristau, i tried to do that with fglrx at one point a couple of months ago, and it didn't work as gracefully as you'd hope17:30
tjaaltonthere's a commit in xserver master (and in our package too..) that allows to use a list of drivers to try for a given hw vendor17:30
tjaaltontoo bad that it's useful only if there's no xorg.conf at all17:31
tseliottoo bad we have 4 versions of the same nvidia driver17:31
tseliotthe module is named "nvidia" in all cases17:32
superm1what's the game plan for those 2 non functional versions?  they stay in the archive?17:32
superm1tseliot, well for that idea of nvidia.ids, it would be included in each of the packages for the nvidia driver 17:32
superm1so you'd only have that functionality working when the driver was to be installed17:32
tseliotI was planning to blacklist those 2 drivers in jockey17:32
superm1well you don't really have to blacklist, can't you just not install their modaliases?17:32
tjaaltonjcristau: actually, there are some bugs that suggest that the ids are not used at all with 1.5..17:33
tseliotsuperm1: ah, right17:33
jcristautjaalton: that's quite possible...17:33
tjaaltonjcristau: and instead the vendor id and the driver is loaded even if it doesn't support it17:33
jcristauoh well.17:33
tjaaltonthere's one annoying bug where it loads nv and it fails miserably17:34
tseliotsuperm1: I can change the dependencies of nvidia-common17:34
tseliottjaalton: that might be because the nvidia module gets loaded first?17:35
tseliotnot that it makes any sense17:35
jcristauor it might be because it's a card that's not supported by nv, and they would be better off with vesa17:36
tjaaltoneven the fallback-patch won't help there, since vesa can't initialize after nv has poked it17:38
tjaaltontseliot: no, nvidia supports it fine17:38
jcristautjaalton: uh. i thought you aren't allowed to touch the hardware in preinit...17:39
tseliottjaalton: which bug is it?17:39
tjaaltonbug 26197717:40

ubottuLaunchpad bug 261977 in xorg-server "nv is chosen even if it doesn't support the card" [Medium,Incomplete] 17:42
tjaaltonit might be something different though17:42
tseliotmaybe it relies on the fact that the card id begins with 10de?17:45
tseliotI haven't read the code that does autodetection17:45
tjaaltonyes, that's with the patch17:45
tjaaltonso the detection part works ok, but vesa doesn't work17:45
jcristautjaalton: looks like we're not setting PCI_TXT_IDS_DIR?17:46
tseliotso if it's an NVIDIA card the nv driver is loaded even if the card is not supported???17:46
jcristautseliot: correct17:46
jcristauwhich makes sense, if you're able to fall back to vesa17:46
jcristauif you're not, then it leads to epic fail17:47
tseliotare we sure that the fall back mechanism works?17:47
jcristautimo says it doesn't17:47
tseliottjaalton: can I see the patch, please?17:48
tjaaltontseliot: it's in xorg-server17:48
tjaaltonpatch 141 IIRC17:48
tjaaltonit's only functional if there's no xorg.conf17:49
tjaaltonso even without it the autoloading is busted17:49
tjaaltonwhat we had already in hardy17:49
jcristaui'll unbreak the .ids stuff for -2..17:51
jcristauthis is brown paper bag material17:52
tjaaltonheh, ok17:53
jcristau(testing now to make sure...)17:53
tjaaltonI'll also drop that patch since it didn't prove to be that useful17:54
jcristaushould be easy to change autoConfigDevice to add new device sections for the fallback drivers, in addition to the chooseVideoDriver() one17:57
jcristautoo much stuff on the todo list :/17:59
mvowill fglrx be loaded automatically if it is instaleld and no xorg.conf is provided?18:01
superm1mvo, no not at this point 18:03
brycemvo, don't think we're there yet18:03
brycebut tjaalton put in a patch a few weeks ago that moves us towards being able to do that18:03
mvothanks, makes my life easier :)18:03
brycemvo, btw did you get my patch for blacklisting compiz on eaglelake?18:05

federico1bryce: great, thanks19:36
tjaaltonjcristau: heh, that was simple20:44
tjaaltonbryce: actually, currently it only works when there's no xorg.conf, but if jcristau is right that should be fixable20:44
brycetjaalton: which what?20:45
tjaaltonbryce: the autoconfig patch20:45
bryceahh20:45
tjaaltonhum, so tdfx doesn't like xserver 1.5 either21:20
superm1tjaalton, did you say you have a solution for when nv is getting selected when it shouldn't?21:35
superm1i've got hardware exhibiting such a problem..21:35
superm1makes it quite difficult to boot up intrepid alpha6 live disk :)21:36
Kanoadd S21:37
superm1S?21:37
Kanosingle mode21:37
Kanoor does forcevesa still work21:38
superm1well i hand modified it - but the point is that it tried to use nv when it shouldn't have21:39
superm1nv doesn't support this device yet21:39
tjaaltonsuperm1: yes, merge the latest commit to xorg-server in experimental21:43
tjaaltonwhich jcristau did a couple of hours ago21:43
superm1tjaalton, it's not critical (i can work around it for now), so i'll be glad to test it when it's in a package form21:43
tjaaltonsuperm1: will be in for beta21:44
superm1i added my log to the bug, but i suppose not necessary anymore21:44
superm1okay :)21:44
tjaaltonlooks like libx11 also has a memory leak that's fixed, so that should be synced again :)21:44
superm1tjaalton, given that beta freeze is active, you might want to make sure you remember to milestone bug 261977 so that it gets put in place21:45
ubottuLaunchpad bug 261977 in xorg-server "nv is chosen even if it doesn't support the card" [Medium,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/26197721:45
tjaaltonsuperm1: sure21:46
Kanousually nv is chosen when the vendor is nvidia21:47
superm1Kano, but if the nv driver doesnt support your card yet, your only option will be vesa21:47
Kanoyes, that should be better. or let the fallback handle it. i have got a differnt problem21:48
Kanonv card 8800 gts 512, edid is correctly read out, xorg logfile is fine, but dvi is selected not vga. only binary driver handles it correctly21:49
Kanomaybe it is the same case for your card? what says the log?21:49
superm1(WW) NV: Ignoring unsupported device 0x10de0866 at 03@00:00:021:49
Kanoand fallback is not used?21:50
superm1well it goes into the failed graphics, do you want to reconfigure21:50
superm1but reconfiguring just rewrites out an xorg.conf that doesn't specify the driver, so it will boot nv the next time still21:51
Kanono vesa force mode?21:51
superm1i didn't see that on the list of options in the failed graphics screen21:51
superm1but i can of course switch to a vt, hand write in vesa and get things up21:52
Kanodid you try the old forcevesa option21:52
superm1and that's what i did21:52
Kanoi think that also does not work21:52
superm1i haven't tried xforcevesa in a long time 21:52
superm1i'm not sure 21:52
Kanoi dont think it works21:59
