AtomicSparkIs this the correct channel if I have a question about xorg testing thing?01:59
BUG_vacationsyes02:02
AtomicSparkSo the fallback testing failed. Jocky was unable to activate the fglrx driver after I renamed the .ko and rebooted.02:04
AtomicSparkShould I file a bug against jocky or the driver itself?02:04
AtomicSparkError is something like WARNING: /sys/module/fglrx/drivers does not exist, cannot rebind fglrx driver02:04
AtomicSparkIt seems to be failing to figure out that it needs to reinstall it, since the ko "doesnt exist".02:05

NinoScriptHi! :D05:34
NinoScriptThe other day, I updated Lucid, and a udev file in which I loaded an experimental driver for multitouch trackpads, changed and I am not able to load that driver again…05:35
NinoScriptthe file is "/lib/udev/rules.d/66-xorg-synaptics.rules", the line I used was: ENV{x11_driver}="multitouch"05:35
NinoScripthow should I load it now?05:35

ubottuUbuntu bug 475466 in xserver-xorg-video-ati "[RC410] detects AGP on a PCIE card" [Undecided,Confirmed]06:22
brycehha first bugs.fdo goes down, now lp goes down.  guess someone doesn't want me working at 2am tonight ;-)09:59
tseliotbryceh: they want you alive :-P10:00
brycehheh10:02
brycehtseliot, btw how's the new -fglrx holding up?10:03
tseliotbryceh: it makes the xserver segfault with some cards (I've reported the problem upstream)10:04
tseliotit's easier to install it from Jockey now though10:04
* bryceh nods10:04
brycehtseliot, thanks for being pointman on the proprietary drivers, I think I'd go nutty worrying over them this release otherwise10:07
tseliotbryceh: np, oem will benefit from this too so both teams win this way :-)10:08
bryceh:-)10:09
AtomicSparkFinally got around to testing monitor hotpugging for fglrx. It is supported (might want to change additional instructions). However, the driver not supporting KMS is :(. The -ati driver works so nicely with the monitor prefs <311:49
tjaaltonjcristau: thanks, but it would still get in the queue so i thought there was no hurry. I'll ask for it if it's not public in a few days11:58
* AtomicSpark switched back to -ati after testings11:59
AtomicSparkI never appreciated KMS so much :(11:59

Sarvattpenguin42: can ya describe your problem a bit more?17:34
Sarvatti'm not17:34
penguin42Sarvatt: As of todays update I get no input at all; no keybopard or mouse17:36
penguin42Sarvatt: If I create an xorg.conf with an AutoAddDevices "false" I get the mouse back17:37
penguin42Sarvatt: http://www.treblig.org/debug/Xorg.0.log.brokeninput  is the xorg.0.log with the bad input - note there are no lines with Adding input devices17:38
jcristausounds like you need to update your drivers17:39
penguin42which drivers?17:40
jcristauinput17:40
penguin42I did file this bug: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=27424  which also shows I have some nasty mapping problems after forcing a keyboard in as well17:41
ubottuFreedesktop bug 27424 in Input/Keyboard "No input devices work and then mapping doesn't work" [Major,New]17:41
penguin42jcristau: From a package point of view the only outstanding upgrade seems to be xserver-xorg-input-evtouch17:43
=== BUGa_snack is now known as BUGa_vacations
penguin42note there was someone else commenting on that bug who had the same mapping problem on latest X, but he was on Gentoo17:45
penguin42any thoughts?17:52
Sarvattpenguin42: read the note at the top of the xorg-edgers ppa page :) you've had an old xserver for 3 months now, i'm surprised it worked this long18:03
penguin42Sarvatt: hmm - I wonder when that changed! Which particular note are you referring to - the one about xserver master being reverted?18:07
Sarvattdecember!18:07
Sarvattyeah18:07
Sarvatti couldn't keep up rebuilding the world for all the weekly abi bumps back then18:07
penguin42Sarvatt: So what version should edgers have on lucid - I currently have 2:1.7.99.2~git20091220.0cb638dc-0ubuntu0tormod18:09
penguin42or xserver-common18:09
penguin42of18:09
Sarvattjust dpkg -l | grep 1.7.99.2 and for each of those packages add /lucid to the name and and do a sudo apt-get install package1/lucid package2/lucid18:09
Sarvattor just sudo ppa-purge xorg-edgers and reactivate it again after if you're lazy :)18:10
penguin42Sarvatt: Yeh!18:11
penguin42Sarvatt: Thank you!18:11
penguin42Sarvatt: I enabled xorg-edgers probably early December so probably only just before that message went in18:12
penguin42There's something glorious about being able to use up arrow again18:13
penguin42Sarvatt: So do you think I should just close that fdo bug - although the other guy was on a completely diffferent distro with the same keyboard symptoms - so something must be shared somewhere18:15
penguin42sorry, same mapping symptoms18:15
Sarvattyeah for sure18:20

Sebbohhey quick question regarding desktop sharing.  Here's my use case.. I'd like to use my desktop all day, then sometimes hop on the laptop and continue my session--like when I want to keep working during a smoke break on the front porch.21:32
SebbohVNC can do this, sure.  I like neatx.  Is there a way I can achieve that slick NX performance and still use remote desktop in the way I want?21:33
Sebboh(I've got neatx working fine, it's just that the remote session and the local session are completely separate--I'm logged in twice, but I want to be logged in only once.)21:34

Sarvatthmm, apport isn't catching xserver segfaults for me22:13
SebbohSarvatt, there's that "ignore" checkbox.  Could it be checked?22:14
edtSarvatt you found an old package for penguin42 that was causing him x keyboard mapping issues?  What was it and what files does it contain?  I need to map It into gentoo space to check If I have the same problem here.  TIA23:01
skimjSarvatt: I see that you uploaded an xorg-server package to the edgers ppa. I can't seem to get it though. I'm running karmic, does that require a separate package specifically for karmic (with the ~karmic tag)?23:31
