| bryce | tjaalton: btw for colin's bug #310857, I am guessing it would be worth-while to have a new xserver git snapshot package to re-test. There's several changes from ajax in the 1.6 branch for randr-related issues | 08:43 |
|---|---|---|
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 310857 in xserver-xorg-video-intel "[i965] intel driver seems to get stuck in an EDID-fetching loop (dup-of: 307306)" [Undecided,Incomplete] https://launchpad.net/bugs/310857 | 08:43 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 307306 in xorg-server "upgrade to 2:1.2.99.2-0ubuntu1 makes session utterly slow" [Unknown,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/307306 | 08:43 |
| tjaalton | bryce: yeah | 08:46 |
| tjaalton | I'll prepare one | 08:47 |
| bryce | fwiw, I dug through the libxrandr changelog between 1.2.3 and 1.2.99.4 (and newer), but didn't see any obvious smoking guns. I'm thinking it's just that we got a slightly too old xserver for this libxrandr | 08:48 |
| tjaalton | it should be the other way around | 08:52 |
| tjaalton | the library doesn't need the server :) | 08:52 |
| tjaalton | or use | 08:52 |
| tjaalton | and the problem only affects some intel chips | 08:53 |
| bryce | well, I mean a version incompatibility | 08:53 |
| bryce | yeah I've not reproduced it locally here, however I've only got two intel boxes I can easily test against | 08:54 |
| tjaalton | for the newer xserver we also need a newer libxrandr | 08:55 |
| tjaalton | well, no. the server doesn't need the lib | 08:55 |
| tjaalton | and no driver uses the new stuff | 08:55 |
| tjaalton | that's currently in jaunty | 08:55 |
| * bryce nods | 09:01 | |
| tjaalton | I'll disable patch 107 too | 09:07 |
| tjaalton | for now | 09:08 |
| bryce | tjaalton: good idea | 09:11 |
| tjaalton | a final 1.6 within a week? there are still blocker bugs on the list.. | 09:15 |
| tjaalton | like the fact that having two cards installed you need to use BusID | 09:16 |
| tjaalton | eh, no randrproto 1.2.99.4 | 09:24 |
| tjaalton | so much for updating libxrandr then | 09:33 |
| bryce | tjaalton: keith mentioned he wants to try doing quarterly releases | 09:34 |
| tjaalton | bryce: of -intel? | 09:34 |
| bryce | no, of the xserver | 09:34 |
| tjaalton | oh | 09:34 |
| bryce | -intel already does quarterly releases since some time | 09:34 |
| tjaalton | like 1.x or 1.x.x? | 09:34 |
| bryce | 1.x | 09:34 |
| tjaalton | ok, sounds like X7.5 won | 09:35 |
| tjaalton | duh | 09:35 |
| tjaalton | won't have 1.7 then | 09:35 |
| tjaalton | but 1.8 or so | 09:35 |
| bryce | yup | 09:35 |
| tjaalton | I'm not sure what shape MPX etc are in | 09:35 |
| bryce | I would imagine they would take the approach of pushing it off to a future release if it's decided not ready for that quarter's release | 09:37 |
| tjaalton | hmm, I might have the power to cut a randrproto release myself, but no guts :) | 09:37 |
| bryce | hehe | 09:37 |
| Ng | what's coherent mode when it's at home, and how do I toggle it? ;) | 12:04 |
| tjaalton | no idea, I ment to ask if you found it :) | 12:06 |
| Ng | tjaalton: hehe | 12:41 |
| Ng | I think it might be a radeon thing, but it's proving pretty hard to find info about | 12:41 |
| tjaalton | yeah | 12:47 |
| tjaalton | great, the new xserver snapshot changed some xquartz binaries, meaning debuild -S fails | 12:48 |
| tjaalton | maybe those could be just removed from debian/ubuntu branches | 12:48 |
| Ng | I'm wondering if the ridiculous BIOS in this machine might be to blame, the "Intelligent Tweaking" page has a lot of things set to "Auto" and I have no idea if that means "Automatically pick the official values" or "Automatically try to overclock my hardware" | 12:50 |
| Ng | e.g. "Robust Graphics Booster" which claims to increase PCI-E bandwidth and has the options "Auto", "Fast" or "Turbo". How about "Off"? ;) | 12:50 |
| tjaalton | yep, bios might be something to check | 12:53 |
| Ng | I forced the PCI-E clock to 100MHz and gave the northbridge 100mV more food, will see how it goes | 12:54 |
| tjaalton | "robust graphics booster" doesn't sound too robust to me ;) | 12:54 |
| Ng | well that's the hilarious thing, when you are changing that setting there's a load of red text that appears and warns you that a bad setting will make your machine explode in a giant fire, or something like that ;) | 12:54 |
| tjaalton | hah | 12:55 |
| Ng | interesting side problem, the radeon claims to be showing 1920x1080, but an inch or two of picture is missing on the right&bottom | 13:01 |
| terli | can I get some help configuring multiple pointers | 15:47 |
