brycetjaalton: lrm-2.6.20 xorg bugs are wontfixing away ;-)03:57
tjaaltonbryce: dull and boring, dare I say ;)04:33
wgranttjaalton: Been watching the discussion in #ubuntu-devel?04:39
wgrantThe property issues have changed, but still exist.04:39
wgrantSomething isn't 64-bit-safe.04:39
wgrant(or at least fails to work sanely on amd64, while it does on i386 on the same hardware, so it's probably 64-bit-unsafeness...)04:40
tjaaltonwgrant: no, just got up and am on a train04:43
wgranttjaalton: You're not allowed to sleep! Anyway, I'll be gone for about an hour in a few minutes.04:48
wgrantBut it certainly seems to occur on amd64 and not i386.04:49
wgrantThe symptoms of the issue have changed, but it seems to be the same thing.04:49
tjaaltonok, so the joystick-crashes and properties go together?04:53
tjaaltonhmm, sounds like update-manager should make sure that input-all is installed in the system, or the server should depend on evdev04:56
brycetjaalton: ~2200 -> ~200005:15
tjaaltonwhee05:15
bryceI finished up and unsubbed us from lrm-2.6.2005:15
tjaaltongreat05:15
tjaaltonbtw, did ou notice that we now have nouveau?05:16
bryceI've also incompleted all the New bugs that didn't have something resembling an Xorg.0.log attached05:16
bryceah, no I didn't.  good to hear05:16
tjaalton..which just happens to be useless05:16
brycetjaalton: have you been seeing that there are people successfully using -radeonhd?05:16
brycethat surprised me, but hey05:16
tjaaltonnope05:16
brycementioned in a number of -ati bug reports05:17
tjaaltonthat it wrks better than ati?05:17
bryceblah blah, -ati is busted, blank screen yada yada... works ok when I switch to -radeonhd05:17
tjaalton+o05:17
bryceer hey actually I did know about nouveau... I'd had slangasek sync it in a few weeks back.  but does it work at all?05:18
tjaaltonit was synced yesterday05:19
tjaaltonwon't build05:19
tjaaltonrequires newer  libdrm and drm-modules05:19
* bryce nods05:19
bryceis it causing any breakages?05:20
tjaaltonhardly, since there are no packages :)05:20
bryceheh true.05:21
tjaaltonok, I'll be offline the next 40h or so.. the ferry to estonia departs in 30min :)05:29
brycecya tjaalton05:38
brycetjaalton: yeah I've got monday off and am going to try to spend it all out in the wood shop05:39
wgrantAnybody have any ideas on https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-synaptics/+bug/267611/comments/53?12:30
ubottuLaunchpad bug 267611 in xserver-xorg-input-synaptics "[intrepid] cannot see touchpad tab in mouse configuration" [High,In progress] 12:30
wgranttjaalton: Can you please cherrypick db6e631d31d4ffd476ccd105f8adb8d8b4727b29 into our -synaptics soon?23:09
Nghrm, did something change about input property stuff23:33
Ngmy scroll enabling script isn't working anymore! ;)23:33
NgWheel Emulation:123:33
NgWheel Emulation Y Axis:4, 523:33
Ngbut no scrolling seems to be happening23:33
wgrantNg: Yes, we have large changes in that area.23:40
wgrantHmmm.23:40
wgrantI would have thought that should be working.23:41
wgrantWhich arch, and is that plain evdev?23:41
Ngi38623:41
wgrantAnd it works fine for me.23:41
wgrantHave you rebooted since the new stuff appeared on Friday?23:41
Ngyeah i did an update early afternoon then did a battery drain test with a bootable CD23:42
NgI assume it's an all-evdev setup, I don't have an xorg.conf so it's just using hal23:43
wgrantIt's not a touchpad, I presumeE?23:43
Ngno, trackpoint23:43
wgrantNot a combined trackpoint/touchpad, like they often are?23:44
NgI do have both, and the touchpad is usually on the same device, but I have that disabled in the BIOS23:44
wgrant-synaptics has a bug whereby it will partially break property setting, but if it's not on that device...23:45
wgrantSo it just doesn't work at all?23:45
wgrantI've never used wheel emulation before, but setting Wheel Emulation to 1 and Wheel Emulation Button to 2 worked fine.23:45
NgI think it thinks it's doing it - the mmb is obeying the wheelemulation timeout and when I try to scroll the mouse pointer doesn't move (which is correct)23:45
Nghrm23:46
Ng(WW) Sony PLAYSTATION(R)3 Controller: Don't know how to use device23:47
Ng(II) UnloadModule: "evdev"23:47
Ngdoes that mean it just unloaded it for that device, or has it unloaded the module entirely?!23:47
Ng(I don't know how to get a list of currently loaded X modules)23:47
jcristaujust for that device23:47
Ngok23:48
jcristaugrep _drv.so /proc/$(pidof X)/maps should work23:48
wgrantjcristau: Hi. Do you have any idea why libxi is spewing crap at the server like in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-synaptics/+bug/267611/comments/53? Most of the code seems fairly similar to Get(Window)Property, which works fine...23:49
ubottuLaunchpad bug 267611 in xserver-xorg-input-synaptics "[intrepid] cannot see touchpad tab in mouse configuration" [High,In progress] 23:49
Ngevdev is listed three times23:49
jcristauwgrant: no clue23:49
NgI guess it might be handy if it logged what it was using for a device when it picks it up from hal23:50
jcristauwgrant: i build a server from the ubuntu branch, and libXi/xinput from upstream git, and playing with the 'device enabled' property seemed to work23:50
wgrantjcristau: On amd64?23:50
jcristaubut then i'm on i38623:50
wgrantAh.23:51
wgrantThere's no problem there.23:51
wgrantIdentical hardware works on i386 but fails on amd64. The issue only appears if and only if one is using amd64.23:51
jcristauthat's just weird23:53
wgrantPrecisely.23:54
wgrantThe ordering is even stranger.23:54
jcristauyeah23:54
wgrantAt least it's probably easier to debug that poking around in the server.23:55
wgrantActually...23:56
wgrantI suppose I can use SSH X forwarding to a remote amd64 machine.23:56
wgrantSince it looks client-side...23:56
