jcristautjaalton: you not at uds?18:54
bryce_tjaalton, there aren't really anyone but me here for X, so didn't seem worthwhile to have a bunch of X sessions18:55
bryce_anyway --> lunch18:55
tjaaltonjcristau: nope, just finished a two week trip to south korea & hong kong, so it was a no-op ;)18:58
jcristauheh18:59
tjaaltonhey, what about debian? the freeze was pushed forward to March am I right?19:02
jcristauyes19:03
tjaaltonok, so 1.8 is theoretically possible?19:04
tjaaltonhmm, maybe wait until bryce is here.. I'll be back later19:05
jcristauyeah.  if somebody works on it.  right now X in debian has nobody with enough time19:06
tjaaltonbryce: yeah, ok. I'll post my opinion about the 1.8 issue on the list tomorrow, too tired now :)20:51
bryceok20:51
brycetjaalton, will you be staying for the proprietary driver talk (in 10 min)?20:51
tjaaltonhum20:52
tjaaltonlet me check the spec20:52
tjaaltonI should be getting to bed right now, but I'll comment some of the points here:20:54
tjaaltonthe patches; still needs an overhaul of the way how the default driver is selected by the server, when coming from a simple xorg.conf, otherwise it'll break (ie. always uses the first option, no fallback)20:56
tjaaltonalternatives vs. diversions; I think the latter is well tested by now, and I suspect there might be other problems by using the alternatives system (not being consistent all the time, what package get's the top priority etc)20:57
tjaaltonother than that, I don't have much to comment right now :)20:58
tjaaltonstill jetlagged, so bye for now and "see" you tomorrow ->21:00

tseliotbryce: yes, I can hear most of it21:30
Riottahello21:30
Riottadon't know is this a good place to ask but guys from #ubuntu-bugs pointed me here21:33
RiottaI'm and some other Ubuntu 9.10 having problem with xserver-xorg-input-evdev package21:34
Riottahttps://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-evdev/+bug/441408 launchpad entry is available here21:35
ubottuLaunchpad bug 441408 in xserver-xorg-input-evdev "[MASTER] Mouse jumps to bottom corner on click in fullscreen games. New mouses (A4Tech). Related to DGA / DGAMOUSE in SDL." [Low,Confirmed]21:35
Riottawe tested this issue alot21:35
Riottaand we came to conclusion that the cause of this problem can be in some changed which were made for ubuntu 9.10 from 9.0421:36
Riottain this package, so any fixes/patches applied could broke the package21:36
RiottaI can test more and share with the knowledge I have gathered in order to fix this bug with you21:38
Riottaanyone can help me?22:25
tormodRiotta, if you have narrowed it down to a -evdev version, that's pretty good22:41
RiottaI hope so22:41
tormodRiotta, if you check the changelog, you'll see 2.2.3 had a fix for a similar issue22:46
tormodRiotta, there are no Debian/Ubuntu patches in it, so it is probably an upstream bug.22:47
tormodBefore filing a bug at bugs.freedesktop.org, you should try the latest upstream version.22:47
tormodWe have newest xserver and evdev in the xorg-edgers PPA for lucid22:48
Riottaah22:49
Riottaso basically you telling me to check same package from xorg-edgers ppa and see if it will be bug-free?22:52
Riottahello again23:06
