rippsoh please! someone backport this into the ati driver, kms xv is horrible right now. http://lists.x.org/archives/xorg-driver-ati/2010-February/013827.html00:27
bjsniderdoes dh_installdocs normally look for a file called "faq" to install?04:09
bjsnideroh, wait. i see where it's getting these instructions04:13
bjsniderthere's a guy in +1 that is using an nvidia card, doesn't have the nvidia or nouveau ddx driver running, but has working glxgears04:45
RAOFbjsnider: Define “working glxgears”.  glxgears should produce a picture with *any* DDX, and glxinfo should report direct rendering for pretty much any DDX, including VESA.07:03
brycehRAOF, see on phoronix fedora has 3d on nouveau?07:08
tjaaltonyes07:09
brycehhi tjaalton, how goes?07:09
tjaaltonbut they have bskeggs so it's ok :)07:09
tjaaltonbryceh: hey, pretty busy with life. two exams left and the damn thesis..07:10
brycehtjaalton, plus all the kids... how do you do it?07:11
brycehtjaalton, graduation coming soon?07:11
tjaaltonand problems with nfsv4 which is holding back the thesis, but hopefully those are resolved soon07:11
brycehnfsv4... my old life...07:12
tjaaltonbryceh: the deadline is July 31st, but the thesis should be ready by the time lucid is released07:12
tjaaltonand I haven't even started writing yet07:12
RAOFUrgh.07:15
RAOFbryceh: Yeah, tjaalton pointed me at dri07:15
RAOFFedora's dri-drivers-experimental package, and I learnt just how awesome debian source packaging is :)07:16
brycehhehe07:17
RAOFVersus “just throw it in the .spec file”.07:17
tjaaltonbryceh: yeah, it's part of the new environment based on AD/krb5, and installs from altiris. quite a transition from full *nix-platform to one where "money is no object"07:19
tjaaltonincluding an exchange cluster which has a TB of memory :P07:19
brycehwhoa07:19
* bryceh shudders @ exchange07:19
tjaaltonyeah, scalability and all that..07:19
brycehmy dad has been a total windows junkie, but this weekend he had me wipe his laptop and put ubuntu on it... and he's extremely happy07:20
brycehI'd given him a netbook with ubuntu (one of those poulsbo-based ones) a while ago, so he knew what it was like07:21
tjaaltonmy parents have yet to join the computing world. they're a bit old for that though (~70y)07:21
brycehhis laptop is nvidia hardware, and I just set up -nv!  He was happy since he got video, flash, and all that working fine07:21
brycehI thought maybe I'd hold off on putting him on -nvidia and move him to nouveau once lucid's out07:22
tjaaltongood plan07:24
brycehhi ara07:28
arahey bryceh07:28
RAOFbryceh: The lack of proper 18bit dithering didn't bother him?  I guess he might not know anything different.07:32
brycehI could see it, but he didn't seem to mind07:32
brycehI figured, "Hey, he's happy, don't push it.  Expectations low means plenty of room to improve from."  ;-)07:33
brycehRAOF, he was about ready to chuck the hardware and buy a new laptop, so this saved him a bundle07:33
brycehreally all he uses the computer for is playing farmville and watching hulu07:34
RAOF:)07:36

BUGabundobah15:56
BUGabundoso that's why I have no 3D ?15:56
Sarvattyep15:59

BUGabundonothing usefull there17:57
BUGabundooh on past boot17:57
kklimondanot even boot but the whole last session :)17:58
pgranerbryceh: mind if I add a multi-head column to the nouveau testing wiki?19:17
brycehpgraner, ok19:18
brycehpgraner, better make it 'dual-head' for clarification19:19
pgranerbryceh: I have a few multi-head cards and I'm finding nouveau is failing on the higher end ones19:19
pgranerbryceh: ack19:19
brycehpgraner, since -nvidia can do >2 heads, but -nv doesn't19:19
pgranerbryceh: wildo19:20
Sarvattalot of complication with nouveau lately like I expected, they completely broke libdrm so it needs a nouveau module that wont be upstream until 2.6.34 so if we did a git snapshot that libdrm or a release if they do one soon it wouldnt work with our lbm-nouveau now19:22
Sarvattugh looks like mesa requires that new libdrm-nouveau1 now as well so I can't skirt around it19:32
