[22:20] <Groo> Hi, I am not sure if this is the right channel, but looking at the list, it seems to be the closest one to what I am looking for.
[22:21] <Groo> I have a new laptop that uses hot plug PCIe for an external GPU, and it doesn't seem to be recognized under 8.10
[22:22] <Groo> By that I mean there is nothing recognized, not simply that it does not like the GPU in question (ATI 3870 non-mobile).
[22:22] <Groo> Is this the right channel for the topic, and if not, what is the correct one?
[22:28] <crimsun> #ubuntu+1 is more appropriate, generally
[22:28] <Groo> What is the purpose of that channel?
[22:29] <crimsun> sorry, 8.10 -> #ubuntu
[22:29] <crimsun> 9.04 -> #ubuntu+1
[22:30] <crimsun> i was going to ask you to try a daily-live with the new kernel (2.6.28-4.5)
[22:30] <Groo> Ah, got it. I tried the #ubuntu, and it was too general.
[22:31] <Groo> I am downloading Jaunty Alpha 2 now, but it will be ~2 hours. I will test it then. Wierd unreleased hardware. :(
[22:31] <crimsun> Groo: alpha 2 is a bit too old
[22:31] <crimsun> let me check cdimage's manifest, first
[22:31] <Groo> Yeah, but it will update itself to current from there, right?
[22:33] <crimsun> you'd have to do it manually, yes. or you could grab from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/20081229/
[22:33] <Groo> Grabbing the daily now. Thanks.
[22:34] <crimsun> if you have additional questions, i'm also in #ubuntu+1
[22:34] <Groo> I'll go there now.
