pwnguini guess tagmail is my punishment for ignoring wacom04:48
tjaaltonpwnguin: nonsense, those bugs are assigned to me ;)05:54
tjaaltontwo exams left this week, hopefully I'll be able to update wacom to support intuos4 after that..05:57
Ngbryce: downgrading mesa did indeed get me working compiz after resume, as you suggested :)09:59
seb128Ng, you got compiz to freeze after resume?10:00
seb128I'm wondering if I didn't get the same issue, my xorg was frozen after resume yesterday10:01
Ngseb128: yes, I tried several suspends over the course of the last couple of days and it happened every time10:01
NgI've had one crash where X was completely dead after resume, but the other times it was just compiz and restarting it blindly with alt-f2 (at the suggestion of hyperair) resurrected things10:02
seb128I got it twice so far but I didn't suspend a lot since I upgraded10:02
NgI suspend at least twice a day ;)10:02
seb128thanks for the hint in any case10:02
seb128I suspend often but I just came back from vac10:02
seb128and I had alt-tab freezing compiz issues so I downgraded thing for a while10:02
seb128until a fixed linux deb came to test which fixes that10:03
tseliotNg: did you file a bug report about the regression in mesa?10:03
seb128and yesterday I noticed the suspend issue10:03
Ngyeah that stuff is weird, I've not seen any other compiz hangs from alt-tab or whatever, it was just resume10:03
Ngtseliot: bryce seemed to think it was one that's already filed, but I'll happily file another10:03
tseliotNg: ok, if bryce said so, I'm sure it was already filed ;)10:04
NgI hope it's an easy fix somewhere, X has been almost perfectly stable in karmic otherwise for me. I think I've had maybe 3 actual real hangs since I upgraded weeks and weeks ago, until this mesa thing10:05

tormodbryce: I wonder if ati KMS is fscked in stock Karmic, see bug 41005815:44
ubottuLaunchpad bug 410058 in xserver-xorg-video-ati "Black screen with radeon KMS" [High,Fix committed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/41005815:45
tormodmaybe we need to push a new libdrm anyway and rebuild the -ati. see xorg-edgers for a libdrm 2.4.13.15:47
tseliottormod: do you refer only to libdrm-radeon1 or also to the drm in the kernel?16:05
tormodin the kernel?16:06
tseliotyes16:06
tseliotso you were referring to the user space component16:08
tormodgotta run!16:09
Q-FUNKwould anyone remember which file in X server core defines PCI manufacturers with individual video drivers?16:14
Q-FUNKΓΆΓΆ.. defines the match between ID and driver16:16
jcristauhw/xfree86/common/xf86<mumble>.c16:16
jcristaualso, grep.16:17
Q-FUNKjcristau: would you have a minute to examine a patch?  my C skills *are* limited and your guidance would be appreciated.17:13
jcristaunot right now, sorry17:13
Q-FUNKok17:13
jcristaubut, email works.17:14
Q-FUNKok, I'll do that17:14
Q-FUNKjcristau: sent.17:17
jcristauQ-FUNK: not sure what's the point of including amd in there19:12
Q-FUNKmostly for backward-compatibility.19:13
jcristaulooks fine otherwise19:13
Q-FUNKnot essential, though, indeed19:13
jcristaubackwards compat with what? a driver that doesn't support current servers? :)19:13

ubottuLaunchpad bug 423866 in xorg-server "AutoConfigure support for older Geodes" [Undecided,New]19:14
Q-FUNKhmm.. good point :)19:14
Q-FUNKI've attached a simpler patch for X 1.4 there, also19:14
Q-FUNKand a slightly cleaner version of what I mailed you19:14
Q-FUNKbug #42386619:15
ubottuLaunchpad bug 423866 in xorg-server "AutoConfigure support for older Geodes" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/42386619:15
Q-FUNKerm... right19:15
Q-FUNKjcristau: I also just noticed that cyrix and nsc no longer ship with ubuntu.  we'd probably need to skip that part of the changes.19:20
Q-FUNKdo I assume that whatever wasn't matched by a specific driver in that file falls back to vesa?19:21
jcristauyeah19:21
Q-FUNKright, so in that case we'd only need the GX2 part added19:24
mac_vbryce: for Bug 397839 , you added the ATI in the description , is it because it is *now* not fixed in ATI alone ?21:24
ubottuLaunchpad bug 397839 in gnome-power-manager "Screen randomly goes off in karmic" [Critical,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/39783921:24
CShadowRunhi, my friend told me that he configured his multi display setup with ubuntu's built in config, on an nvidia card, i assume that means nvidia and xrandr play nice in karmic?21:24
brycemac_v, no it's an automatic script that adds that stuff to bug descriptions.  No particular significance to that.21:25
mac_voh ;) ... thanks21:26
mac_v i have a doubt about the $xset command.... i was using $xset s 300 for the screensaver problem , now i'm not sure how to reset the time to default , $xset reset is for something different, do i just to an $xset s 600 ?21:30
tormodmac_v it is reset if you log out21:35
mac_vtormod: hmm... but previously the screen blanking bug was occurring at 10 mins but after i used the xset command it started happening at 5mins , so i thought this was the cause...21:38
mac_vgood to know i didnt mess up ;)21:38
mac_vthanks21:38
bryceyeah the blanking (or non-blanking) bug still persists.  power management seems really screwed up on my hardware21:39
* mac_v started having burn-ins :(21:41
tormodpower management is spread out between way too many packages and independent developers...21:44
Q-FUNKbryce: do you think that we could get the patches at bug #423866 merged for at least karmic?22:17
ubottuLaunchpad bug 423866 in xorg-server "AutoConfigure support for older Geodes" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/42386622:18
bryceQ-FUNK, comment #5 implies the patch was updated but isn't attached.22:23
Q-FUNKbryce: erm. right. correct.  any tool you can recommend to refresh the patch in a more efficient manner than copying the original all over again, patching that, removing the extraneous content, then diffing again?22:25
brycethat sounds like about how I'd have to do it22:25
Q-FUNKquilt seems ot be able to perform all sorts of backflips on patches, but I haven't quite figured out how to use it.22:26
* bryce nods22:27
hyperairman quilt!22:27
hyperairi only ever use push, pop and refresh though22:28
hyperairand add22:28
Q-FUNKbryce: updated22:37
Q-FUNKbryce: I might still add nsc and cyrix to the 1.4 patch for Hardy, but the 1.6 patch can pretty much go as-is for karmic.   for jaunty, it can go too, but it would have to go in at the same time as a geode with cherry-picked GX2 fixes.22:38
Q-FUNKI'm currently narrowing down what could be the bare minimum changes we'll need to apply to -geode in jaunty before we can safely apply that X server patch.  22:40
Q-FUNKin karmic, though, we already have the latest upstream geode, which no longer crashes on GX2 hardware.22:42
