[10:30] <thopiekar-t91> StevenK: ping
[10:32]  * persia encourages the asking of questions rather than the seeking of individuals who may answer the questions
[10:34] <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
[10:36] <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.
[10:37] <thopiekar-t91> k
[10:38] <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.
[10:39] <ogra> right, its similar to nvidia iirc
[10:40] <ogra> and the binary bits may or may not be available for the karmic kernel ... i know StevenK could tell
[10:41] <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..
[10:42] <StevenK> From what I've heard, people have managed to get PSB working in Karmic, but I don't and won't support that.
[10:43] <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 :)
[10:44] <thopiekar-t91> persia: hehe
[11:01] <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.
[11:03] <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> :)
