Sarvattbryce: uploaded a xserver-xorg-video-intel to x-updates for karmic since there are so many bug closers for it, incase people dont want to upgrade the whole x stack and mesa to try it out. fglrx for jaunty is _still_ published like 20 hours later..00:06
bryceexcellent00:09
Sarvattfigured i'd let you do the version bump to reupload it :)00:10
Sarvattoh darn, i looked for bugs by that guy to try to find one on launchpad for the changelog on the x-updates package too00:53
Sarvattin bug 35176100:53
ubottuLaunchpad bug 351761 in xserver-xorg-video-intel "[i945] Fullscreen graphical corruption on laptops with Intel graphics?" [High,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/35176100:53
Sarvattsaw his upstream bug report in the git log00:54
Sarvattdoes incomplete = needs info on launchpad? need more info on this bug to try to track it down https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/bugs/39016022:26
ubottuUbuntu bug 390160 in mesa "Ogre3D programs crash with intel driver" [Undecided,Confirmed]22:26
bryceSarvatt, yep22:27
bryceSarvatt, technically "Incomplete" has two states22:28
bryceIncomplete w/ response, and Incomplete w/out response22:28
Sarvatti wasnt sure if i couldnt just see the needs info option because i'm not in the right launchpad group, could have sworn i saw a needs info tag before22:29
bryceBugs that are in the latter state we expire after about 30 days22:29
bryceah, you probably saw that in a bugzilla bug22:29
bryceif there are ever bugs in state 'incomplete' that you ask a question on, note that this moves the bug to "incomplete with response"22:30
bryceso they won't auto-expire22:31
brycewhat I usually do when asking a question is Incomplete->New, then New->Incomplete+myquestion22:31
Sarvattby the way, heads up on something i just found in #ubuntu+1. they changed the Xv saturation ranges in the nvidia binary drivers and it doesnt transfer the settings right on upgrade22:31
Sarvattthe old value of 4096 in .nvidia-settings-rc is the new setting of 0, but upgrading with 4096 in the rc doesnt transfer it to 0 even though the control applet says its at 022:32
Sarvattso colors are really saturated unless you manually lower it and save, and then raise it back up to 0 and save22:33
Sarvattthis is in the 185.18.14 package22:33
Sarvattincase you see any bugs in nvidia regarding colors being wrong with the binary drivers22:34
Sarvattwhen playing back videos22:34
Sarvattfound it in this thread http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=13381022:37
Sarvattis it ok if i bump the version on fglrx-installer for x-updates jaunty? i deleted the package since it had problems being binary copied but its still not deleted 2 days later so i cant recopy it22:46
Sarvatt~jaunty2 ok? or 0ubuntu2~jaunty instead?22:46
Sarvatti uploaded an updated synaptics to edgers too because its been like 1.5 months now that the ubuntu patches havent been readded and the amount of bugs about touchpad tapping are nuts so i figured it'd help some people at least..22:48
bryceSarvatt, yeah feel free to up the fglrx-installer in x-updates23:01
bryceyeah it's been getting hard to ignore the touchpad tapping issues23:02
Sarvattonce gnome-settings-daemon 2.27.4 comes to karmic it wont even matter23:03
bryceif it is clear what needs done with synaptics, let me know.  otherwise I'm more or less leaving it to tseliot's judgment23:03
Sarvattsince the touchpad panel lets you enable/disable tapping properly now23:03
Sarvattwell i guess its still a problem for KDE23:03
bryceregarding the nvidia saturation values... perhaps you could talk to mvo about adding a transition for that?23:04
Sarvattoh its really clear, theres a huge bug about it thats really clear about it, all of the ubuntu patches were dropped because the synaptics package name was changed in debian and its getting auto synced23:04
Sarvattah, will do regarding mvo23:04
Sarvatthttp://patches.ubuntu.com/x/xfree86-driver-synaptics/extracted/104_always_enable_tapping.patch23:05
Sarvattthat patch forced tapping enabled by default, its disabled upstream by default23:05
Sarvattthe driver is called xserver-xorg-input-synaptics now23:05
bryceahh23:07
Sarvattthe gnome-settings-daemon touchpad plugin doesnt enable/disable tapping in a way that works unless that patch is applied right now23:07
bryceok if you assign the bug to me I'll get the patches moved over and stuff23:07
Sarvattbut that will be fixed in the next release23:07
bryceif you feel ambitious and want to do it, stick a debdiff on the bug and I'll sponsor for you23:07
Sarvattdoing that right now23:09
Sarvattwgrant actually has it in his PPA and is the one the bug is assigned to https://edge.launchpad.net/~wgrant/+archive/ppa/+sourcepub/656773/+listing-archive-extra23:15
Sarvatthttps://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/bugs/37839123:16
ubottuUbuntu bug 378391 in xserver-xorg-input-synaptics "Source rename clobbered local changes (so tapping not working in Karmic)" [High,In progress]23:16
bryceok thanks, I'll review and sponsor that tomorrow23:29
Sarvattattached a debdiff to the bug anyway incase it helps any23:38
Sarvatthad already done it when i noticed :D23:38
Sarvattthe one on his ppa would be better though, i just didnt put 109 in the series because it didnt apply. they have changed around alps detection and settings upstream so i'm not sure how relevant it is at the moment though23:49
Sarvatthttp://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-input-synaptics/commit/?h=synaptics-1.1-branch&id=2b3325dc53d1a560b94b9c88aeb05b0f7f9085cd23:49
Sarvattstatic Bool is_alps(LocalDevicePtr local); in 109 isnt needed anymore because they built detection into the driver to adjust the edge sizes for different devices now and that could be used, and they have changed the way tap detection happens which fixed needing to adjust fingerLow and fingerHigh for me on a synaptics model touchpad at least23:54
=== RAOF__ is now known as RAOF
Sarvattthe other patch left out from jaunty's synaptics patch series here http://patches.ubuntu.com/x/xfree86-driver-synaptics/extracted/  (108_syndaemon_xinput_props.patch)23:58
Sarvattoops, is already upstream I meant to say23:59
