Sarvatthmm, autodetection routine for sis in xserver with no xorg.conf seems a little screwy05:37
brycewhere'd you get sis hw?05:37
Sarvatthttp://sarvatt.com/downloads/sis.txt05:38
Sarvattcreates 2 identical sis devices?05:38
Sarvattdug up an old server :D05:38
bryceah heh05:38
bryceyeah that does sound improper05:38
Sarvattmaybe thats because theres pci.ids05:39
* bryce rolls eyes at lp #40110705:41
ubottuLaunchpad bug 401107 in xorg-server "Software runs as root" [Wishlist,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/40110705:41
Sarvattahh yep it is, deleted the sis.ids and it only added the 105:42
Sarvattsheesh!05:43
Sarvattwheres the "wont be fixed in the next 3 years" bug status :D05:46
bryceno kidding05:46
bryce>maybe< running as non-root will come for -intel soonish, but when you think of all the other random drivers that aren't likely to get KMS any time soon...05:47
Sarvattyeah sounds like he read an article on phoronix about moblin which is only targetting intel graphics so they can do it :D05:53

Sarvattnice!07:28
tjaaltonwow, even soyuz is open09:04
Ngooh, new intel X love09:43
* Ng does the crack-of-the-day dance09:43
bryce:-)09:45
brycesorry, not very much changed, just a handful of bug fixes09:46
brycebut at least now we're officially at 2.8.0 in time for alpha-309:46
brycethe mesa 7.5 update should be moderately more interesting09:46
Ngbryce: bug fixes is fine, and still worth testing :)10:10
Companyhey12:16
Company2 questions:12:16
Company1) i updated to the edgers repo and it didn't pull the new kernel12:16
Companyso i ran with the default jaunty kernel12:16
Companyand that didn't go very well - read: it quickly hardlocked12:17
Companyshould i file bugs about that or should maybe the intel drivers just pull a newer kernel?12:17
Company2) is there a way to get debug symbols for the edgers ppa?12:18
Companyi'm hacking on pixman atm, would like to debug its usage inside X and am too lazy to compile it myself but gdb without debug symbols kinda sucks12:19
jcristauhacking on it but too lazy to build it yourself?12:19
jcristauthat kinda doesn't make sense :)12:19
Companyi'm hacking on pixman, not X :p12:23
jcristauah, ok :)12:23
tjaalton1) not a bug, 2) no idea12:24
Sarvattsudo apt-get install linux-image-2.6.30-10 linux-headers-2.6.30-10-generic linux-headers-2.6.30-1012:25
Sarvatteverything with debug symbols in ubuntu has debug symbols in the PPA12:25
Companyi know how to solve the kernel problem - i just wonder if it should be done by default instead of leaving me with a kinda broken system12:26
Sarvattno it shouldnt12:27
Sarvattits optional12:27
Companynot really, because it doesn't work12:27
Sarvattyou can pastebin your logs from when you locked up and we might be able to help, it doesnt work and it locked up doesnt really say much12:35
Sarvattif you can pastebin them we might be able to help rather12:36
Companyi'd rather not debug bleeding edge X on outdated kernels12:39
Companythere's more useful things to do12:39
Sarvattthe PPA isnt just for intel, forcing the kernel and breaking jaunty packages that people might be using for everyone just because it makes intel better isnt the best idea12:40
Companyyeah, but you could make intel depend on the kernel12:41
Sarvattif it was required sure, but it runs fine with 2.6.28 on all of the machines i've tested it on. do you have a /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old showing where it didnt work maybe?12:44
Companynope, restarted X a bit too often since then12:47
Sarvattcan ya paste a trace of an example of what you need symbols for so I can help ya find which packages you want  to install?12:49
Sarvattlibpixman-1-0-dbg xserver-xorg-core-dbg and libgl1-mesa-glx-dbg most likely at least12:51
Companyoh, -dbg12:52
Companyi was looking for -dbgsym packages12:52
=== crevette_ is now known as crevette
Sarvatthmm, thinking about putting an updated pixman on xorg-edgers, there was a post asking for testing of the fix for server 1.6 branch that we might be using and i have a feeling people will be wanting to upgrade pixman before karmic release for the arm optimizations14:26
Sarvattjbarnes: any chance the fifo watermark kernel fixes might make it in time for 2.6.31-rc4? :D15:31
jbarnesSarvatt: yeah hopefully16:52
Sarvattis it like, just people with dual channel memory having problems? everyone with flickering i've talked to is running dual channel but its probably just coincidental16:59
jbarnesSarvatt: no the patch that went upstream just has a lot of bugs17:01
jbarnesI think it'll affect a lot of people17:01
apwjbarnes, that sounds bad, we got a fix we can apply separatly until it gets in?17:24
apwbryce, how are we doiing with radeon userspace support?17:24
apw(for kms)17:24
bryceheya apw17:25
apwmorning17:25
jbarnesapw: yeah there are a couple of patches you can apply until upstream gets the bits17:25
* jbarnes digs up urls17:25
brycein fact was just chatting with sarvatt about that last night.  Seems it is going to require the radeon-rewrite branches of mesa, et al.  After we get alpha-3 out I think we'll bite the bullet and pull those development trees in.17:26

Sarvattfunny enough all the people i've come across with the flickering problems are on 94517:27
Sarvatt6 people in #ubuntu+117:27
jbarneshttp://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/intel-gfx/2009-July/003471.html is probably the fix for them17:27
Sarvattthanks for the link, there were so many patches flying around i didnt know which to pass along :D17:28
apwbryce, sounds like stormy waters ahead17:29
apwjbarnes, thanks, will put them on my list to check when we rebase next17:29
jbarnesoh those are in drm-intel-next now fwiw17:30
bryceapw, :-)17:31
bryceapw, actually the ATI guys are pretty conservative about when they pull in new stuff, so it's possible the code's already plenty stable, just not "perfect", so waters may merely be turgid17:32
apwheheh lets hope so17:36
bryceapw, oh btw, don't know if they've filtered through to you, but as we've been getting -intel bugs resolved upstream with proposed kernel patches, I've been moving them to the kernel queue and marking them xorg-needs-kernel-fix17:41
apwahh no not noticed but th17:41
apwthat sounds good.  will review those on the next rebase and see which ones are included17:41
brycecool, yeah I suspect a lot can just be closed as already in the kernel17:42
apwi see there is a fair lump of fixes in mainline already17:42
bryceI think ogasawara mentioned she'd put together a report of these17:42
apwbut linus' weeks seem to be rather longer than 7 days on average17:42
bryceheh, sometimes I feel the same way17:43
apwwill ask her about it17:43
apwyeah i know waht you mean17:43
