| JontheEchidna | Hello guys, would you happen to know off-hand which portion of the software stack this patch is for? http://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=27838 | 13:58 |
|---|---|---|
| * JontheEchidna needs to apply it to test an upstream bug | 13:59 | |
| Ng | looks kernely | 14:18 |
| JontheEchidna | meh, thanks | 14:31 |

| jbarnes | superm1: just curious, do you guys have anything like the inspiron 1210 but with intel graphics and a nicer keyboard layout? | 20:26 |
| jbarnes | the shift, /, uparrow thing really sucks :p | 20:26 |
| superm1 | jbarnes, 1210. let me see what model this is (I only know codenames generally) | 20:26 |
| jbarnes | some kind of mini | 20:27 |
| superm1 | oh mini 12 | 20:27 |
| jbarnes | I should say "non-gma500 intel gfx" :) | 20:27 |
| superm1 | haha | 20:27 |
| superm1 | i was gonna say.. | 20:27 |
| superm1 | well nothing that's still considered a mini at that size | 20:27 |
| jbarnes | I like the form factor | 20:28 |
| jbarnes | it's light & slim | 20:28 |
| jbarnes | screen is reasonable as is keyboard size | 20:28 |
| jbarnes | but gma500.. :( | 20:28 |
| superm1 | if you are hoping for an atom et'al, your next best bet is the 10v | 20:28 |
| * jbarnes looks | 20:28 | |
| superm1 | but that screen is significantly smaller by comparison | 20:28 |
| superm1 | that's the little sucker I was lugging around at uds | 20:29 |
| jbarnes | looks about the same size as the aspireone | 20:29 |
| jbarnes | smaller than I was thinking | 20:29 |
| superm1 | well there are 13" form factor "laptops" too | 20:30 |
| jbarnes | ah yeah | 20:30 |
| superm1 | the studio xps works everything OOTB, but it's not intel gfx. the inspiron i'd expect is needing a slew of audio quirks and what not still | 20:31 |
| jbarnes | ug | 20:31 |
| superm1 | we ship the inspiron 15 with linux worldwide, but the 13 only gets basic QA | 20:33 |
| superm1 | eg major BIOS issues get sorted out | 20:33 |
| jbarnes | hm 13 looks pretty nice though | 20:35 |
| jbarnes | shift is still next to uparrow, but it looks better than the mini 12 | 20:35 |
| superm1 | i'm not sure if it's one of the retail models. you might be able to go check it out at best buy or similar | 20:37 |
| jbarnes | cool thanks | 20:40 |
| bryce | just got a 10v for my mother in law, just yesterday was teaching her to use it, she's very happy with it | 20:49 |
| Ng | my mum loves her mini9 :) | 20:50 |
| bryce | she was really worried the keyboard was going to be a bit cramped but she sat down and typed out a document with minimal problems - figuring out where the delete key was, accidentally hitting caps lock, etc. | 20:51 |
| bryce | jbarnes, I agree, a mini-12 would be an awesome size/weight for travel | 20:52 |
| bryce | jbarnes, btw, I'm about to do a git snapshot update of -intel so we can be sure to have an update of the driver in alpha-3. I understand 2.8.0 is coming RSN. Should I hold off a couple more hours, or is 2.8.0 more likely to come tomorrow? | 20:55 |
| Sarvatt | sounds like you might want something like an acer timeline jbarnes | 20:55 |
| bryce | Sarvatt, today's the last day for merging stuff in for alpha-3. Any thing you think we need to upload? | 20:56 |
| Sarvatt | cant think of anything, there are alot of things you can update but probably better off holding off until after for things like xserver 1.6.2 that might need rebuilds | 21:01 |
| * bryce nods | 21:01 | |
| Sarvatt | xf86-video-ati *still* doesnt build against xserver 1.6.2 yet lol | 21:01 |
| bryce | anything I can do to help there? | 21:02 |
| Sarvatt | the ati thing? nah they know about it just havent updated it yet, its only an issue with libdrm-radeon1 anyway | 21:04 |
| Sarvatt | libdrm would be really nice to update though | 21:04 |
| Sarvatt | but its not in debian | 21:05 |
| bryce | yeah noticed that earlier and have been thinking about doing it | 21:05 |
| Sarvatt | http://cgit.freedesktop.org/mesa/drm/commit/?id=3f3c5be6f908272199ccf53f108b1124bfe0a00e | 21:05 |
| Sarvatt | thats an amazing commit :D | 21:05 |
| Sarvatt | yeah i take that back, ati is only an issue when libdrm-radeon1 exists with server 1.6.2, the problem is just in dri2 and karmic wont be getting that anytime soon probably since it needs mesa 7.6 for dri2 | 21:11 |
| Sarvatt | i stuck to using 2.4.12+gitxxxx on edgers because we're using libdrm-radeon1 there and dont want the libdrm overridden by karmics | 21:14 |
| jbarnes | bryce: yeah I think cworth will do the 2.8 release today sometime | 21:15 |
| jbarnes | but I don't know for sure | 21:16 |
| Sarvatt | if you package 2.7.99.902 they'll release 2.8 a few hours later, thats how it works for me :) | 21:18 |
| Ng | jbarnes: I don't know what the gfx chipset is exactly but the HP mini Mi has a keyboard that's not particularly hateful :) | 21:33 |
| Ng | it's running some weird ubuntu derivative by default, but assuming it's not insane poulsbo nonsense, it should be easy enough to fix that ;) | 21:33 |
| bryce | Sarvatt, yeah :-) | 21:33 |
| jbarnes | Ng: cool | 21:34 |
| Ng | a couple of my teammates take them to conferences/sprints to work from | 21:34 |
