bryceI think we all should chip in and buy seb128 a better ISP ;-)08:14
tjaaltonheh08:15
tjaaltonI'm getting a 10/10 fiber home08:15
brycesweet08:15
tjaalton100/10 is overkill08:15
seb128bryce: thanks but right now that was me restarting my irc client to try some changes08:15
seb128but better internet connection would be nice though ;-)08:15
brycetoday finally was the last of having verizon visiting.  Now finally, after weeks more than I expected, everything is perfect.08:17
brycetjaalton: if you'd prefer focusing on getting xserver merged, I can tackle the -intel merge tomorrow08:18
bryceotherwise I'll probably do inkscape08:19
tjaaltonbryce: I've got 1.5.3 ready, needs the new evdev though08:19
tjaalton1.6beta probably means rebuilding all the drivers again08:19
tjaaltonmeh, I'll upload 1.5.3 and evdev 2.1.0 now08:20
brycesounds good08:20
tjaaltonthen we at least have _something_ new :)08:20
brycewhat are the big new features in 1.6?  GEM-ishness?08:21
tjaaltonthat and some EXA improvements, like the glyph cache which should boost performance08:21
tjaaltonit's basically master without MPX/XI208:21
* bryce nods08:22
bryceI scrolled through the changelog from keith; tons of changes, I guess lots of bug fixes?  :-)08:23
tjaaltonheh, probably and hopefully08:25
brycebtw, work in process but I've been drafting a page on writing drivers for Ubuntu X - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/DriverDevelopment08:25
bryceso far just focused on "why you need to make your driver open source"08:26
tjaaltonI marked the 'multiple primary graphics devices detected OMG' bug as a blocker for 1.608:26
tjaaltonhmm are there other candidates to open up besides nvidia? (psb?)08:27
tjaaltonVIA released docs last week08:28
tjaaltonand partnered with the openchrome project08:28
brycesaw that :-)08:28
bryceyeah unfortunately there are still other hw vendors left to advocate08:28
tjaaltonmvo: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/commit/?h=server-1.6-branch&id=c8472a74441838e16d0d3414db1fa7fe996868a908:29
mvorock! thanks tjaalton08:30
* bryce waves mvo08:31
mvohey bryce! I did the inkscape merge the other day, hope that was ok08:34
bryceahh, ok, that explains why grab-merge.sh isn't pulling it08:34
bryceyeah that's cool.  I should probably clean up the bug tracker at some point here too08:34
brycetjaalton: so shall I tackle -intel or do you have that one in hand already?08:35
tjaaltonbryce: I can do that as well, and test it here08:36
tjaalton..which reminds me to set up the dualboot jaunty too08:36
brycetjaalton: you make my job far too easy :-)08:37
tjaaltonbryce: :)08:37
brycebtw, do you have a script for filing sync requests?  I was thinking of roughing up something based on launchpadlib08:38
tjaaltonI've used requestsync08:38
tjaaltonor what was it called08:39
bryce*nod*  yeah me too08:39
bryceI've used that a fair bit, but I think I could code up something a bit more robust08:39
wgrantbryce: What's wrong with requestsync? It can use launchpadlib now tooo.09:59
brycewgrant: you sure?  It looks like it still uses python-launchpad-bugs10:04
tjaaltonyou just need to use the --lp flag10:12
bryce--lp triggers the p-l-b stuff.  anyway, will look more tomorrow.  night!10:25
tjaaltonoh, ok10:26
tjaaltonnight10:26
Kanohi jcristau , you package for debian too or?12:23
jcristaus/too//12:24
Kanojcristau: then can you tell me why lenny does not use the multimedia keys by default but ubuntu does?12:25
Kanolike volume control12:25
tjaaltonbryce: looks like I won't be able to merge intel today, so feel free to merge it if you like13:32
tjaaltonlibdrm needs a push through NEW13:36
Kanojcristau: could you update the ati driver in lenny to the version from experimental at least? then dcc with rv410 on vga ports at least13:39
jcristauno13:39
brycesuperm1: just had a good call with ATI today; went through several bugs, and sounds like we should be getting a slew of EPR's soonish16:40
superm1great to hear16:42
brycethe https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/fglrx page I think was well received16:43
superm1my only fear is that people don't start filing "untriaged" bugs against that project16:44
brycemm, guess we'll see16:46
bryceone interesting note - ati doesn't consider compiz a "supported" feature on fglrx yet, so all bugs involving that are going to be wishlist items (AMD feature #7647)16:47
