brycetjaalton: heya, what remains to be done before 1.6.0 can be uploaded?03:17
tjaaltonbryce: new libdrm I guess04:42
tjaaltonhmm no05:35
tjaaltonit was intel that needed it05:35

crevettegood morning09:10
crevettedoes anyone has some knowledge about bluetooth input device in Xorg ?09:11
crevettea reporter said it's bluetooth HID working under VT but not with Xorg09:11

ubottuLaunchpad bug 328216 in bluez "Bluetooth keyboard not working in X in 9.04" [Undecided,New]09:16
=== seb128_ is now known as seb128
tjaaltoncrevette: not much to say without Xorg.0.log09:48
crevettetjaalton, just I wanted some pointer, does a bluetooth device is listed in xinput ?09:54
crevettes/does/is/09:55
crevetteand s/is//09:55
tjaaltonI don't know09:56
crevetteokay let ask the log first09:58
crevettecan I add xorg as inpacted package?09:58
tjaaltonnot yet ;)09:58
crevetteI'm sure this is xork, blame xorg09:59
crevette:)09:59
tjaaltonso, fedora now has a patch for wacom to init all devices14:13

tjaaltonAlexia_Death: ^^14:13
superm1bryce, i was talking to cjwatson about a 60 second delay to wait for X to start (or fail to start for that matter) in ubiquity-dm (used for --automatic).  i've got a case where it's failing to start because a monitor might not be plugged in.  do you know of any way to tell it to start up anyway even if it's not finding a monitor and bailing?16:10
jcristauthere's no way to do that atm afaik16:11
superm1hmm okay then, the alternative solution would to be dropping that delay in the amount of time to wait until declaring X failed to start. what's a safer number that's less than 60?16:15
superm1assuming you can be starting off of live media and what not which is slower16:15
jcristauit'd probably be feasible to fix x to start at 800x600 (or 640x480) even if nothing's connected..16:17
superm1maybe forcing vesa as a fallback then.  i'm not if vesa is enforcing this too16:28
superm1*sure16:28
superm1this was with the intel driver that I was seeing this behavior16:28
brycesuperm1, jcristau: I'd have no problem changing that, any ideas where this is being set?  xserver?19:07
superm1bryce, i think something would need to  be added to the X server to fall back to vesa and try that if the current driver should work and tries to work, but for some reason bales19:10
superm1because from the server's perspective, i dont think there is a way you'll see this situation19:11
crevettehey superm119:11
superm1hi crevette 19:11
brycehmm19:11
brycesuperm1: ok, not totally sure what would need implemented, but can you file a wishlist bug against xorg-server for this?19:12
crevettesuperm1: as you're not on #u-mobile, if you're interested with testing bluez 4.32 (https://edge.launchpad.net/~bmillemathias/+archive/ppa)19:15
crevettesuperm1: and you're invited to report regression from 4.30 in https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/bugs/33744319:16
ubottuLaunchpad bug 337443 in bluez "[jaunty] Please update bluez to 4.32 version" [Undecided,New]19:16
superm1bryce, sure.  i think i've got a rough idea of what needs doing, just don't know the codepath, so i'll try best to word it19:17
superm1crevette, looks like a bug fix release other than " Add support for new BtIO helper library."19:18
bryceok thanks, that may help. 19:18
superm1if nothing is using that, i dont see why an FFe would be denied (unless of course there Are regressions ;))19:19
crevettesuperm1: yes, there were some crasher, especially in 4.31 which wasn't uploaded19:19
superm1ah okay19:19
crevette4.31 was crashy19:19
superm1i think bluez upstream does releases too quickly imho19:20
crevette"Release early, release often"19:20
crevette:)19:20
crevetteit is hard to test all corner case for packagers19:21
crevettecases19:21
jcristausuperm1: why would you fall back to vesa, as opposed to just making your driver set a default fallback mode?20:25
Alexia_Deathtjaalton: HAL people wont accept that upstream.20:50
Alexia_Deathtjaalton: so with that they will keep patching hal forever.20:50
tjaaltonAlexia_Death: umm, it's a patch for wacom20:53
Alexia_DeathThe kernel driver?20:53
Alexia_DeathPing said that was too much work to be done sensibly...20:53
jcristautjaalton's link is a linuxwacom patch...20:54
jcristauso not hal, and not kernel.20:54
Alexia_DeathSorry, I dont have time to take a closer look...  then I assume its X driver and makes the driver insitalize the rest.20:54
tjaaltonyes20:54
Alexia_DeathThere are tons of things that can go wrong... and how does it know what is pesent for a particular tablet?20:55
Alexia_Deathand how to name the devices?20:55
tjaaltondon't ask me :)20:56
tjaaltonask peter20:56
Alexia_Deathoh well... I hope they manage to sell that to ping.20:56
Alexia_DeathIf its good that is.20:57
tjaaltonthere alread was a patch on the list that was supposed to do the same20:57
tjaaltonbut this one is by _the_ X input dude20:57
Alexia_Deathwhot?20:58
tjaaltonyes20:58
Alexia_Deaththen it has pretty good chances of being good.20:58
Alexia_Deathdoesnet solve it for serial devices tho. they need to be still loaded through dbus.20:59
tjaaltonfedora's wacom.fdi has some rule for serial devices21:02
superm1jcristau, there would have to be support added to that on a driver by driver basis then21:21
superm1jcristau, whereas VESA will just work on anything at low res (in  theory)21:21
jcristauvesa would probably be easier, yes.  i'm just not sure it's the right thing to do21:23
tormodbryce: re bug 335214, how do we flag (bugs that need) cherry-picking upstream commits?22:59
ubottuLaunchpad bug 335214 in xorg-server "[RV570] devices could not be detected correctly" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/33521422:59
tormodI think we previously had a list on the wiki, but w.u.c is broken now, so I can't check23:02
* bryce looks23:04
bryceyeah I used to do it in wiki, but nowadays it's easier to just snag the cherries as I see them23:04
brycetormod, so I would be okay with assigning to me and either a) downloading the patch and attaching it to the bug report, or b) putting [patch] in the title.  Whichever is easier23:06
bryceassigning to me is optional of course, but it'll add them to my todo list23:06
bryceheh @329562.  He could not find lspci-nnv so attached /usr/bin/lspci instead23:11
tormodbryce, thanks23:30
