* wgrant cries at the state of X docs on help.u.c/community.03:28
wgrantSome of them reference XF86Config-4, and others reference a proprietary Intel video driver, which I don't think existed...03:28
superm1psb?03:45
jcristauwgrant: it did exist, some years ago, afaik08:58
wgrantjcristau: Oh. Hmmm.08:58
jcristaumight be this: http://www.intel.com/design/intarch/swsup/graphics_drivers.htm09:06
wgrantbryce: We should probably move wiki.u.c/X/Config to help.u.c/community soon.09:16
wgrantI'm currently attacking help.u.c/community and removing an enormous amount of old stuff, and it'd be nice to be able to remove pages and redirect to X/Config.09:17
lagaso, hey guys. 12:50
lagai can't use DISPLAY=:0 over a ssh session to start apps on a remote computer. is that intentional?12:50
lagait worked in 8.04 and i'm not the only one with that problem12:51
wgrantlaga: "can't use" isn't very descriptive.12:57
lagawgrant: i yelled at a friend of mine for using "doesn't work" just a few minutes ago :)12:58
lagai can't connect to the X server.12:58
lagaeg ssh 192.18.0.137; DISPLAY=:0 xeyes -> Error: Can't open display: :012:58
wgrantThere is an xserver on .137?12:59
wgrantRunning as your user?12:59
lagayes.12:59
lagathis is a mythbuntu box. maybe we're doing something special. i haven't tried on vanilla ubuntu13:00
wgrantProbably.13:00
wgrantBecause it works fine for me.13:00
lagainteresting. thanks.13:01
lagaX is using evdev by default now, right? said friend of mine had trouble getting her arrow keys to work because gnome settings didn't get updated :(13:02
tjaaltonlaga: enable x11-forwarding on both the client and server13:03
lagatjaalton: forwarding? do i need forwarding if i want to display something on the *remote* display13:04
tjaaltonlaga: ah. don't know13:04
wgrantlaga: No, you don't.13:04
lagai wonder if consolekit is to blame.13:04
wgrantI've seen a few complaints about cursor keys getting borked, but not enough to suggest that it was broken in an upgrade of the default configuration.13:05
* wgrant celebrates the inclusion of his fix for bug #280148 upstream.13:05
ubottuLaunchpad bug 280148 in gnome-settings-daemon "g-s-d needs to set mouse properties when a new device appears" [Medium,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/28014813:05
lagaokay.13:11
superm1laga, i can't think of anything we're explicitly doing unless its a mistake that we keyed something wrong in gdm-cdd.conf13:32
lagai will investigate tonight13:33
Q-FUNKwgrant: thanks for the followup on g-s-d13:44
Q-FUNKwgrant: I have your PPA in my sources.list, so it will be tested as soon as the buildd has dinstall'ed it.13:44
Q-FUNKah.  it seems that it's published now13:45
Q-FUNKreloading.13:48
Q-FUNKwgrant: it doesn't fix it either.  the problem seems to be that my laptop's touchpad+buttons are not considered as removed/reinsterted upon restoring from sleep/hibernate.  rather, g-s-d would need to know when *it* has been resumed and then rescan all hardware.13:57
ScottKbryce: Looks like we got an additional hit on Bug 290156, so it's not just the one monitor.14:17
