| thopiekar-t91 | StevenK: ping | 10:30 |
|---|---|---|
| * persia encourages the asking of questions rather than the seeking of individuals who may answer the questions | 10:32 | |
| thopiekar-t91 | persia: what I just want to ask StevenK is that I need the psb drivers for my asus eeepc t91 for karmic.. | 10:34 |
| thopiekar-t91 | atm the drivers are just available in the jaunty repo | 10:34 |
| persia | I don't believe there were any karmic drivers for psb, although I could be mistaken. | 10:36 |
| persia | I seem to remember something involving issues with the differences in X. | 10:36 |
| persia | But perhaps someone more knowledgeable can answer more clearly. | 10:36 |
| thopiekar-t91 | k | 10:37 |
| persia | My (incomplete) understanding is that the PSB drivers included some binary bits that only worked in some cases, so were a bit of a hack, rather than the more usual compiled-from-reviewed-source stuff. | 10:38 |
| ogra | right, its similar to nvidia iirc | 10:39 |
| ogra | and the binary bits may or may not be available for the karmic kernel ... i know StevenK could tell | 10:40 |
| persia | Was it a kernel issue? I thought it was an issue with the change in the X ABI. | 10:41 |
| thopiekar-t91 | I just added now the ubuntu X swat unstable repo to test wheather the psb drivers are available there.. | 10:41 |
| StevenK | From what I've heard, people have managed to get PSB working in Karmic, but I don't and won't support that. | 10:42 |
| thopiekar-t91 | StevenK: its possible to install the drivers from your jaunty repo so you just need, as i heard, to push these drivers to karmic.. | 10:43 |
| persia | StevenK: That's a wonderfully-formed answer :) | 10:43 |
| thopiekar-t91 | persia: hehe | 10:44 |
| StevenK | thopiekar-t91: I also have a lack of time, so ... | 11:01 |
| thopiekar-t91 | k, | 11:01 |
| StevenK | If it works, great, if doesn't, you get to keep and admire all of the pieces. | 11:01 |
| thopiekar-t91 | i'll try it now with the xserver+drivers from the x swat unstable ppa.. | 11:03 |
| thopiekar-t91 | see you soon.. | 11:03 |
| thopiekar-t91 | :) | 11:03 |
