rippsMy radeon 9600 pro's dri has been disabled in kernel 2.6.31-1 in Karmic, can somebody help?00:21
Sarvattadd radeon.modeset=0 to the grub boot line00:30
rippsSarvatt: so it's a KMS issue?00:32
Sarvattit'll be fixed in 2.6.31-2.15 that apw's already built on a PPA and should be uploaded soon, KMS was turned on by default without the userspace to support it00:33
rippsSarvatt: okay, I edited my grub.cfg, I'm rebooting now00:35
Sarvatthttps://edge.launchpad.net/~apw/+archive/daily00:35
Sarvattdid it work ripps?04:05
Sarvattwow that cant be right, 0 bug emails today on ubuntu-x?04:06
pwnguinindependence day hangovers04:09
rippsSarvatt: the radeon.modeset=0 thing worked, I apparently didn't install the Kernel correctly, I just finished that now05:01
=== ripps_ is now known as ripps
levonshegood morning all,09:29
levonshegood day, What is wrong with DRI  openchrome-via, VX800 - the dri/card0 is not created, and  modprobe via gives : no MTRR for b0000000,10000000 found10:32
tjaaltonthe via module is more or less obsolete10:34
tjaaltonthere's a new one in the works, but no idea when it'll be in the kernel10:34
TheMusoIf a kernel version, say 2.6.29 is used with current X, will those drivers like intel still work if the kernel doesn't have KMS enabled?12:34
TheMusoBy current X, I mean what is currently in karmic.12:35
tjaaltonsure12:37
tjaaltonuxa performance might suffer though12:37
TheMusoOk thanks tjaalton.12:38
levonshehello all, please explain the error I have trying to work with DRI/DRM on VX800 mtrr: no MTRR for b0000000,10000000 found, as a consecuence no /dev/dri/cardX is created ??17:09
tormodsarvatt, what should we do about radeon kms in xorg-edgers now? we can ship a modprobe.d file in libdrm...18:29
jcristaumight be better to ship it with the ddx18:30
tormodit should not matter as long as people install all or none of the packages18:32
tormodthe thing is, our -ati source package does not know if it is kms or not18:32
tormodonly the libdrm is special, with its --experimental-radeon-api18:32
jcristauyou can run old ddx with new libdrm though..18:33
* jbarnes looks for pitti18:34
Sarvattwhats wrong that needs a change tormod? i would assume anyone wanting to use kms would know to add radeon.modeset=1 to grub, it works fine with the stock kernel with or without KMS for me18:58
tormodwell if we assume they know that, we're fine :)18:59
tormodSarvatt, btw do you have a package update round in the pipeline?19:00
tjaaltonit'll be the default anyway, an dshipping temporary conffiles is problematic19:00
Sarvatti just got in, will do it now19:01
tormodwe don't care so much about proper conffiles handling in xorg-edgers :)19:01
tjaaltonok then :s19:02
tormodtjaalton, when will it be the default ?19:02
jcristaunot doing proper conffiles handling there means people might get broken stuff when/if they go back to stock ubuntu, no?19:02
jcristau(maybe not in that case, but still)19:02
tormodI don't think it will be a problem if we use a unique file name19:03
tormodor will it stay?19:03
jcristauif nothing removes it, it will stay19:04
tormodso in the case we add one, we should delete it in an prerm then I suppose19:05
tormodbut never mind, if we'll have kms as default soon, I don't care so much19:05
Sarvattugh mozilla build bots of doom are running19:13
SarvattEstimated build start: in 5 hours19:14
jbarnesarg claws mail and its plugins still aren't built properly19:17
jbarnesjust upgraded and claws is new but the html2 viewer plugin wasn't rebuilt so it broke19:17
tormodSarvatt, ugh x 2, my system is so broken with rendering errors now, can't wait :)19:19
tjaaltontormod: once userland in karmic catches up19:25
tormodtjaalton, yeah I figured that :) but when might that happen?19:26
* bryce reads pitti's gdm breakage email and wonders how everything got buggy so quickly from really stable a couple weeks ago19:26
brycebtw, someone has implemented a wacom configuration gui tool and emailed me about it - http://www.gtk-apps.org/content/show.php/Wacom+Control+Panel?content=104309 but I didn't see the source code posted so am following up.19:27
tjaaltontormod: dunno, is there a release coming up?19:28
jbarnesdid anyone ever figure out the appearance props "doesn't let me enable compiz" bug?19:30
tormodthe -ati releases do not come often this days, but maybe they will rubber-stamp one as soon as kms seems not too broken19:30
jbarnesworks fine from a terminal...19:30
brycetormod, alex has been good about stamping releases when we've asked him to in the past19:30
bryceI'm not sure he works to a release schedule, just sets release numbers when things look stable19:31
tormodbryce, ok so do we have any feature-freeze deadline or so for radeon kms?19:32
tormodbryce, yes also think he does it like that19:32
tormodSarvatt, est. build time is down to one hour :)19:33
Sarvattugh x3!! gdm upgrade killed X and i lost all my chat log history from last session lol19:33
brycetormod, yep at the start of karmic I set Sept 7th as the deadline for driver version updates19:33
tormodSarvatt, I got bitten too :)19:33
tjaaltonSarvatt: screen ftw19:33
* tormod actually got bitten a couple of times...19:33
tormodbryce, that sounds like an ocean of time :)19:34
jbarnesSarvatt: same thing just happened to me too19:34
jbarnesSarvatt: any news on the "appearance dialog won't let me enable compiz" bug?19:34
tormodbryce, and I guess driver version update in this case includes a minor thing like switching to kms ;)19:35
bryce;-)19:36
Sarvattnope, havent seen anything jbarnes. i switched to mutter so i havent looked into it lately, i'm sorry :(19:39
jbarnesnp just curious19:40
Sarvattdo you have metacity running? i was able to use appearance preferences by running metacity --replace, killing the extra "metacity" that was causing 100% cpu usage, then doing it in the preferences settings19:42
Sarvattits leaving an extra metacity process running for some reason starting anything with --replace now19:42
Sarvattugh, fun, time for another 6 hour drm/mesa/ati compile session on the powerpc to update this stuff :D19:53
Sarvattare we hurting anything by not having a libdrm-radeon1.symbols? or does it matter since libdrm-radeon1 has only existed during 2.4.11? i dont know how to generate one from scratch20:06
jcristauit doesn't hurt. just make sure you have proper shlibs20:08
Sarvattwow, that was embarassing.. turns out my git pulls since the 0703 libdrm update were pulling into ../ instead of the current directory so none of the updates got applied. fixed that up just now by recreating everything. I need to work on a hook to integrate this into auto-xorg-git to avoid that kind of problem, we've been doing libdrm by hand since there are so many changes, easier to just keep debian/ around between updates than pull 20:36
Sarvattorigin/ubuntu20:36
Sarvattshould have noticed the diff only had the changelog updated sooner20:39
Sarvatttormod: had to wipe radeon-kms because of the libdrm problem, different arches have really long waits and it was pulling the screwed up one because the fixed ones hadnt been published yet, will be fixed soon because the mozilla/chromium stuff is almost done for amd6422:57
Sarvattppas arent detecting the depwait state and rebuilding when the dependencies can be met so no point repackaging things with bumped dependencies because I'd have to babysit the rebuild button anyway :D23:04
Sarvatti386 is fine on edgers and xorg-testing at any rate23:04
Sarvattwill probably have to reupload later for amd64 if the things in the queue arent spaced out enough23:06
jbarnesarg!!23:25
jbarnestoday must be X crash day23:25
brycemerry X-crash day jbarnes23:26
RAOFIt's not "upgrade GDM from a VT day"?23:46
Sarvattat least it wont happen again next GDM upgrade :D23:49
Sarvattand the upgrade continues running even though it kills X and doesnt restart it23:49
tormodyes it seems the upgrade finishes anyway, because an apt-get install afterwards does nothing23:51
