tjaaltonlooks like intel is taking the "won't build with kernel headers" seriously.. freedesktop bug 1913209:01
ubottuFreedesktop bug 19132 in Driver/intel "2.5.99.1 fails to build using drm headers from 2.6.28" [Critical,New] http://bugzilla.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1913209:01
wgrantHmmm.09:46
wgrantX isn't liking me.09:46
wgrantNot much at all.09:46
wgrantI have to start GNOME manually now, and be careful not to do too much that involves randr, or X dies bloodily.09:47
wgrantNothing at all in the logs.09:48
jcristauwgrant: not even on stderr? (gdm.log)11:10
wgrantjcristau: error setting MTRR (base = 0xc0000000, size = 0x10000000, type = 1) Invalid argument (22) ddxSigGiveUp: Closing log11:12
wgrantDoes that look relevant?11:12
jcristauno, that shouldn't kill it11:12
wgrantIndeed, not all of those logs have it. There's nothing else.11:13
wgrantJust lots of screen corruption and an X restart.11:13
mvowhat driver is that?11:13
wgranti810, on i915.11:13
tjaaltonuh, why not -intel11:14
wgrantBecause I can't think straight. -intel it is.11:14
tjaaltonheh, ok11:14
wgrantI live in the past.11:14
tjaaltondon't we all11:14
tjaalton*sigh*11:14
jcristautjaalton: re: the (x)calloc patch, did you also change xfree -> free?11:25
tjaaltonjcristau: doesn't look like it. I haven't tested it either11:28
jcristauk11:28
tjaaltonif it works11:28
tjaaltonhow to test that btw?11:28
tjaaltonnever used it..11:29
jcristaume neither :)11:29
tjaaltonheh .)11:29
tjaalton:)11:29
tseliottjaalton: if I wanted to rebuild X with --enable-dbus all I would have to do (e.g. in intrepid) is add "--enable-dbus" to the confflags in the debian/rules of xserver-xorg, right?15:01
tjaaltontseliot: yes, except it's called --enable-config-dbus15:19
tseliottjaalton: ok, thanks15:20
tseliotmvo: I have put the nvidia drivers in separate bzr branches (e.g. 173-intrepid, 173-jaunty, etc.) and I have fixed the bug you reported yesterday. I would like to know how I can avoid keeping the same binary blob in each branch. You managed to keep the orig.tar.gz separate from the packaging scripts in g-c-c. How did you do that?17:50
mvotseliot: it uses the debian/watch file to download the actual orig.tar.gz17:51
mvotseliot: not sure if that could work with nvidia as well (I don't know a lot about that package)17:51
mvotseliot: stacked branches might work as well 17:51
mvotseliot: thanks a lot for fixing the bug :) !17:51
tseliotmvo: can I keep a branch with say driver 177 without the debian directory and use that for other branches?17:53
tseliotmvo: or any docs about stacked branches?17:53
mvotseliot: I think stacked branches might work for that, its a relatively new feature, I'm not sure how they are used17:54
mvotseliot: #bzr will know17:54
mvohttp://jam-bazaar.blogspot.com/2008/05/this-week-in-bazaar_29.html17:54
tseliotmvo: ok, thanks a lot17:54
mvowas something I found as well17:54
mvoone of those things I alwayed watned to look at bug never quite managed17:54
tseliotI'll have a look at it since it can save me a lot of time17:55
* mvo nods17:55
* mvo is away for dinner17:56
brycetjaalton: regarding the vmmouse breakage:  it expects header /usr/include/xorg/xf86OSmouse.h which used to be provided by xserver-xorg-dev but is no longer18:44
brycetjaalton: I also tried building the latest 2.6.2 release of -vmmouse, but same issue18:44
brycehmm19:09
brycetjaalton: so it appears that the OSMouse code was deleted from xserver (http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/commit/?id=b89a59248a4a0ff06b9a0ddee45881efc6063063)19:10
brycetjaalton: which I gather makes -vmmouse badly, badly broken19:10
jcristauthat's a lot of badly19:12
bryceok maybe just one badly19:12
bryceooh got it to compile19:23
bryceputting the old header file from the server into the driver code, and one minor fix, and it builds.  Lots of warnings about deprecated interfaces though.  the vmmouse guys need to look into this more.19:25
tjaaltonbryce: yes, it's the "one minor fix" of yours that I couldn't figure out :)19:41
tjaaltonadding the header and running configure/make made it compile, so I figured there was something wrong in the packaging19:42
tjaaltonso I dropped vmmouse from input-all so it wouldn't prevent installations19:42
brycetjaalton: I'll email the vmmouse guy to bring this to his attention20:04
tjaaltonI've filed a bug about it too, a sec20:05
tjaaltonfreedesktop bug 1911920:08
ubottuFreedesktop bug 19119 in * Other "vmmouse doesn't build against xserver 1.6" [Normal,New] http://bugzilla.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1911920:08
brycedone20:15
brycejcristau: want me to file this in the debian bts?  I'm assuming you won't care about it until post-lenny, by which time hopefully there'll be a better fix available.20:19
wgrantAre we planning to pull from the xserver 1.6 branch again some time soon? I wonder if some of those fixes fix my crasher that appeared in -0ubuntu2.20:25
brycewgrant: not that I know20:26
tjaaltonsurely after alpha220:26
brycewgrant: I think the plan is to stick with stock 1.6 + pulled patches20:26
wgrant1.6 hasn't been released yet.20:27
brycek20:27
brycesorry, thought you were talking about the post-1.6 stuff20:28
wgrantAh, no.20:28
tjaaltonwell, the stable branch usually is well maintained, so I don't see a reason why not to follow it if need be20:29
tjaaltonpoint releases are of course preferred20:30
tjaaltonbut those might take time20:30
tjaaltononce 1.6 is released it'll be bugfixes only..20:31
wgrantWoo, float XAtom support!21:53
tjaaltonyep21:57
wgrantWell, at least a semi-rejected patch for it.21:58
bryceI'm working on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Blueprints/WacomTabletsUi next... anyone have any comments/ideas to include there while I'm at it?22:15
brycealberto covered most of it already, just need to fill in test section, etc.22:16
bryceanyone?  bueller?22:22
tjaaltongreat movie :)22:25
bryceindeedy.  ok guess I'm about done with this one22:27
bryceI'm curious about the dbus-based approach to configuring tablets, and how that might affect alberto's tool22:28
tjaaltonI think he needs to play with it first22:29
