[00:03] <Sarvatt> yeah they changed it to work with the device properties directly in upstream g-s-d now so it'll all work right even without the patch next update - http://git.gnome.org/cgit/gnome-settings-daemon/commit/?id=4eb9bd09219afbb56f114a2d10bc585e24db803e
[01:01] <Sarvatt> about all these bugs regarding GEM not working with PAE, should they be reassigned to the kernel?
[01:03] <Sarvatt> like https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/bugs/388886
[01:03] <Sarvatt> or just tag it xorg-needs-kernel-fix
[09:19] <cwillu> what's responsible for turning off the backlight during boot?  (even on a non-kms kernel without quiet and splash on the boot line)
[09:19] <cwillu> oops, wrong channel
[09:38] <hyperair> cwillu: it should be when i915 is loaded, isn't it?
[09:48] <cwillu> does 2.6.29 have kms?
[09:49] <Ng> hmm, I thought not
[09:50] <Ng> but perhaps it does, isn't F11 .29?
[09:55] <hyperair> i'm not sure
[09:55] <hyperair> i only turned on KMS after upgrading to .30
[09:57] <hyperair> modinfo i915 and see if it's got a modeset option =\
[11:29] <cwillu> I don't believe I'm running kms, although I do have i915 loaded
[11:29] <cwillu> it has the parm, so I'm probably running it then
[11:29] <cwillu> interesting, because my suspend seems to be working properly
[11:29] <cwillu> albeit, modesetting seems to be broken :p
[13:53]  * hyperair grumbles about memory leaks
[13:53] <hyperair> =(
[16:21] <apw> bryce, hey did you get to test that GEM/PPA kerenl?
[18:06] <bryce> apw, only on nv so far, I need to rejigger my box again with an ati card.  will get to that today
[18:09] <apw> got any intel you could test it on?  both the generic and server.  it has a pae fix for gem applied we could do with testing
[18:51] <bryce> yeah I've got a i945
[18:52] <bryce> oh wait, it's busted.  hrm
[18:55] <bryce> the ati box booted ok with this kernel tho
[19:28]  * bryce tires of fussing with the i945 and just reinstalls
[19:29] <bryce> apw, btw, the ati box booted the kernel but no drm
[19:36] <Sarvatt> booting linux-image-2.6.30-9-server_2.6.30-9.10kms9_i386.deb now
[19:50] <Sarvatt> apw: PAE kernel works fine on my 945GME
[19:52] <Sarvatt> http://sarvatt.com/downloads/PAE.txt
[19:54] <Sarvatt> can ignore the mtrr part, I didnt boot with enable_mtrr_cleanup mtrr_spare_reg_nr=1 thats required for my netbook that time
[20:02] <apw> Sarvatt, thats excellent news ... will try it on my laptop also as that has 4GB of ram
[20:02] <apw> oh no i can't as i am 64 bit
[20:05] <Sarvatt> bryce: the drm thing is to be expected, you would need https://edge.launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+archive/radeon-kms since it has KMS enabled for ati
[20:09] <Sarvatt> apw: odd that I'm not having that build error in i915 when i build it in instead of having it as a module
[21:20] <jbarnes> bryce: ok patches are out there to detect hangs and send uevents
[21:20] <jbarnes> and even recover (at least in my limited testing)
[21:26] <Sarvatt> i dont know any ways to hang the gpu anymore on my machine to test it lol
[21:27] <bryce> :-)
[21:27] <Sarvatt> guess i could build a ddx from before the firefox hang fix since that was nice and easy
[21:28] <jbarnes> Sarvatt: intel-gpu-tools has some hang tests now
[21:28] <Sarvatt> oh!
[21:28] <jbarnes> well one that reliably hangs for me
[21:29] <Sarvatt> ah only resets on 965+?
[21:29] <jbarnes> right
[21:29] <jbarnes> so far
[21:30] <jbarnes> pre-965 is kind enough to tell you to reboot though :)
