sumonehi07:50
sumonewhy ubuntu hires illiterate persons?07:50
* Hobbsee waves07:50
sumonewrong chan, I meant to ask in ubuntu07:51
Hobbseeubuntu doesn't hire illiterate people, from what i've seen.07:51
ograubuntu doesnt hire *any* people :)07:52
Hobbseethat too07:52

Mamaroksumone: behave!07:55
Mamarokogra: read back, I posted the problem at 8:38 here07:55
ograsumone, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-website/+filebug feel free to file a bug07:55
sumonewow another error!!07:56
ografeel free to file another bug then07:56
sumonein the same line!!07:56
sumoneManagable - With teachers and school IT departments deploying and administering an increasingly large number of07:56
sumoneno, I am gentoo user07:57
ograso gentoo users dont file bugs ?07:57
* Hobbsee starts to wonder if sumone is actually here for anything productive07:57
ograthats putting gentoo in a pretty poor light07:57
* ogra wonders if such gentoo users that dont file bugs are to illiterate to handle bugtrackers or why they dont file bugs to improve errors some overworked volunteer made08:00
Hobbseeogra: because it's far more fun just to whine about it, apparently?08:01
Mamarokogra: just a question: you are working on touchscreen drivers?08:02
ograMamarok, yup, though due to upstream not having done the right thing yet jaunty might stay as intrepisd was, with only some improvements08:03
ogra*intrepid08:03
MamarokI've got calibrating problems with a General Touch08:03
ogrado you know which driver that would usually use ?08:03
Mamarokand unfortunately there is no free driver, I have one made from scratch by OpenSuSE08:04
Mamarokcalibrates better on OpenSuSE but not on Kubuntu08:04
ograoh, and we dont have it in ubuntu ?08:04
Mamarokstill very imprecise unfortunately08:04
ograinprecise > not working at all08:05
Mamarokwell, I didn't find time to try all drivers yet, the ELO ones are no use08:05
Mamarokright08:05
ograevtouch might work but the jaunty version is broken atm08:05
Mamarokthe customer will ask General Touch for a driver, but theyy have New Year in China so it will take another two months before they can react08:06
Mamarokwell, I use Intrepid so far08:06
ograthe big overall target is to make evdev handle all input devices, at some point, including touchscreens08:06
Mamarokwould be very nice, indeed08:06
Mamarokit's a basic requirement for our project to work08:06
ograright, but evdev isnt there yet sadly ...08:06
Mamarokyeah, I tried that first and it didn't work08:07
ograas a start you could attach the output of lshal to bug 31709408:07
ubottuLaunchpad bug 317094 in xf86-input-evtouch "evtouch meta bug to collect lshal info" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/31709408:07
Mamarokso there's no other choice than wait for the GT people to come back to us in March08:08
ograso we have the HW info08:08
Mamarokthanks, will do ASAP08:08
ograthanks08:08
Mamarokmight be Monday only, as I don't have the screen here08:09
Mamarokbut will definitely add it to the bug08:09
ograif the device registers as some /dev/input/eventX device it might be possible to solve08:09
Mamarokwell, we can calibrate the upper part of the screen, then it gets fuzzy08:09
ograoh, so you already have input events, thats a good sign08:10
Mamarokyeah, but I'm pretty much stuck now :(08:10
ografor the rest of the issue its probably best to file a fresh bug, tell what the dirver is you use and what exactly the device is08:10
ografeel free to subscribe me08:11
ogra*driver08:11
Mamarokthanks a lot, will do :)08:11
ogragreat, thanks as well :)08:11
Mamarok:)08:12
Mamarokogra: thanks, cu another time !08:15
