Sarvattyay, working now :)00:00
Sarvattok origin/ubuntu builds fine now on i386, other arches are still waiting for the libxfont rebuilds00:21
Sarvattmind if I make mesa stop building mach64 in git? theres no point to it, needs external drm modules that don't even exist in libdrm git anymore00:58
Sarvattjust wasting livecd space :D00:59
tjaaltonsure01:02
SarvattRAOF: back from UDS yet? xserver-xorg-video-nouveau needs some lovin pretty badly :)01:19
brycehhe's probably recovering from jetlag01:27
Sarvattbryceh: did you get all my messages about UDS? it looked like you didn't get the first on monday since you asked a few days later and i'm not sure you got the second since you signed off after01:29
brycehSarvatt, no my irc has been real spotty this past week01:44
Sarvattanyone have a description of what exactly libkms is so I can add it to the new package description? :)01:44
tjaaltonhas something to do with vmwgfx01:46
tjaaltonkms abstraction library or such01:49

bryceh ^ new logo for -intel?01:55
Sarvattfitting with how broken it's been this week :)02:41
Sarvattgoing to attempt to fix this accidental epoch in xorg-edgers libdrm.. 02:52
Sarvattthings may be broken for a bit :)02:52
Sarvatti'll have to post everywhere telling people to downgrade too, fun stuff02:53
Sarvattworried about leaving it since it's screwing with the symbol versioning, maybe I should just leave it..02:54
Sarvattphew looks like xserver-xorg-video-intel is the only thing screwed up by the bumped epoch libdrm, i rebuilt everything i uploaded since the 12th though just incase03:55
Sarvattscrapped the libkms idea for now, it requires libdrm to build... lol03:56
Sarvattweird, libgl1-mesa-dri-gallium pulls in oprofile04:25
Sarvatt  libgl1-mesa-dri-gallium libllvm2.7 libopagent1 llvm llvm-dev oprofile04:26
Sarvattah llvm-dev depends on it..04:27
Sarvattxorg-server from origin/ubuntu currently brings in nvidia-current...  :D04:53
SarvattThe following NEW packages will be installed:04:55
Sarvatt  dkms nvidia-current nvidia-settings xserver-xorg-video-radeonhd04:55
Sarvattand xserver-xorg-core held is back04:55
Sarvattis held back rather04:55

tjaaltonSarvatt: how's that possible?08:46
oc13hi, i am using an old tablet (compac tc1000) with 10.04 installed. 13:23
oc13now i want to get the touchscreen working:13:23
oc13installed fpit. i works but i cannot configure it.13:24
oc13does anyone know what values for maxx and maxy needed to be set in xorg.conf?13:25
Sarvattoc13: man fpit should give you some default values to play with, since you said it installed and worked i'm guessing you're on karmic or older?15:25
Sarvatti uploaded an fpit that works with lucid to the x-updates ppa since the one in lucid/debian doesn't work with xserver 1.7, but some people are having configuration problems with it still15:26
Sarvattwow thats a change, I have to install gallium dri to use GL with xserver master, mesa classic i915 just segfaults all over the place 15:38
Sarvatthttp://pastebin.com/kNN5MVL015:40
Sarvattthats odd, SIS doesn't compile against xserver master here because it needs mibank.h thats been removed, but it compiles fine on tinderbox?16:49
jcristautinderbox may have old headers still around16:51
Sarvatthad to disable udeb building for xserver master until i have time to look into it, fails like this http://launchpadlibrarian.net/48590426/buildlog_ubuntu-maverick-i386.xorg-server_2:1.8.99.0%2Bgit20100517.345eb171-0ubuntu0sarvatt_FAILEDTOBUILD.txt.gz16:57
Sarvatti keep getting into weird situations I can't figure out with the new xserver abi stuff since 1.7.6.901, the breaks make it odd. like tslib needed to be updated in the archive before i could even install xserver-xorg-core even though i didnt have it installed17:02
Sarvattwe have an older version in the archive than the breaks: in xserver17:03
jcristauSarvatt: you only get that in the udeb build?17:05
Sarvattyeah17:06
Sarvattdisabled udeb works fine17:06
Sarvattbuilds fine rather17:06
jcristauSarvatt: http://people.freedesktop.org/~jcristau/0001-Fix-build-without-XACE.patch17:22
Sarvattoh nice! will add that and rebuild in a minute when I test this SIS change out to be sure it works. thanks for that jcristau, sorry to bug you with problems all the time! I'm not pointing them out asking for them to be fixed, just trying to get the issues I run across out there :)17:26
jcristauyeah.  i should work instead.  but instead i jump on the chance to not work ;)17:27
jcristauanyway, sent this one to the list17:28
Sarvattshould I just drop the mibank.h header completely or conditionalize it for #if XORG_VERSION_CURRENT >= XORG_VERSION_NUMERIC(1,8,99,0,0) ya think?17:28
Sarvattit builds fine without the header against 1.8.99.0 at least17:28
Sarvattoh whoops I meant <=17:28
jcristaui couldn't find anything in the driver that needed that header17:29
jcristauso i'd say drop it17:29
Sarvatthttp://pastebin.com/RNM0ZPqC works, phew.. logs sure are ugly these days though17:49
* Sarvatt needs to get a MTA set up for git one of these days17:50
Sarvattbuilding the udeb with your patch now17:51
jcristauugly because of the timestamping you mean?17:52
Sarvattyeah 17:54
Sarvattbreaks a lot of the driver messages17:54
Sarvattxserver with your patch is building here btw if you're interested - https://edge.launchpad.net/~sarvatt/+archive/xorg-testing/+build/174288417:59
Sarvatti'll reply on xorg-devel with a tested-by and the details if it works18:00
jcristaucool :)18:01
jcristau2 concurrent configure runs makes understanding what's happening quite hard..18:02
Sarvattyeah, for sure18:03
Sarvattit builds quite a deal faster than 1.7.x though even with the extra udeb build since theres no tests18:04
jcristauoh you disabled the tests?18:05
jcristaui guess it's not very useful to run them for the ppa18:05
Sarvatt../../dix/gc.c: In function 'ChangeGC':18:05
Sarvatt../../dix/gc.c:152: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type18:05
Sarvatt../../dix/gc.c: In function 'ChangeGCXIDs':18:05
Sarvatt../../dix/gc.c:439: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type18:05
jcristausame deal i guess..18:06
Sarvattonly in udeb build18:06
Sarvattoh the tests still run? i thought they didn't since it was so fast, guess i didnt look hard enough18:06
Sarvattdidnt explicitly disable them18:06
jcristauthe main build has xace enabled18:07
Sarvattwhoops, sorry to spam your mail there, replied to just you there and resent it :)18:17
jcristauok now i've actually tested the build...18:21
chrisccoulsonRAOF - could you ping me when you're available? i would like to discuss bug 546578 with you at some point18:43
ubottuLaunchpad bug 546578 in xserver-xorg-driver-ati "black screen after a few user switches" [Unknown,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/54657818:43
Sarvattthats related to the fade problem isn't it? :(18:44
chrisccoulsonSarvatt, yes. i don't know if there are multiple issues or not, but there's definately a race in lucid thats contributing to some peoples issues18:45
chrisccoulsonif the VT switches before the fade is finished, then the gamma doesn't get reset18:45
Sarvattits happening on other distros too and not limited to ati18:45
chrisccoulsonso, i was going to disable fade-on-lock in gnome-screensaver for now (it will still fade on idle though)18:46
Sarvatti've talked to people on arch and gentoo using intel nouveau and ati having the same problem and disabling fade fixed it18:46
chrisccoulsonbut i wanted to discuss with RAOF first. i'm not sure if you have an opinion too though18:46
chrisccoulsonyeah, i'm leaning towards switching off fading for now18:46
chrisccoulsonit's a 1 liner in gnome-screensaver18:47
Sarvatthave you checked other distros patches by any chance?18:47
chrisccoulsonnot yet18:47
chrisccoulsonbut i imagine they will probably be pretty similar18:47
chrisccoulsoni see one reporter already posted a patch to one of the bug reports, but i'm not going to do it like that, as that globally disables fade18:48
chrisccoulsoni still want fading to work on idle ;)18:48
chrisccoulsonSarvatt - btw, the nvidia binary driver doesn't seem to exhibit the issue. i can still use xgamma to control the gamma on X servers that aren't on the active VT18:50
chrisccoulsonalthough that probably doesn't help much18:50
Sarvattbinary drvier uses vidmode gamma fading though not xrandr ramps18:51
chrisccoulsonSarvatt - yeah, that's also what xgamma is doing though18:51
chrisccoulsonboth methods fail in lucid18:51
Sarvattchrisccoulson: do you think this is related? I dont understand the patch completely - http://git.debian.org/?p=pkg-xorg/xserver/xorg-server.git;a=blob;f=debian/patches/121_only_switch_vt_when_active.diff;h=e35467bf84a2f8327bc907246c92b26b42da19a6;hb=refs/heads/ubuntu18:55
Sarvatti can't find any context on why we have that patch, was added *years* ago18:56
chrisccoulsonSarvatt, i'm not too sure really. i don't understand the patch completely either18:57
Sarvattmaking it bug me even more, arch carries that patch too19:04
ricotzSarvatt, hi, what do you think about copying the kernel to edgers? https://edge.launchpad.net/~ricotz/+archive/unstable/+sourcepub/1137152/+listing-archive-extra19:07
Sarvatti kind of would prefer to wait a few hours and just use the ones straight from maverick if we're not changing any options but go ahead19:08
Sarvattricotz: btw did you see the notice at the top of the xorg-edgers ppa page? i screwed up and added an epoch to libdrm for a few days and people have to manually downgrade back or it wont update :(19:09
Sarvattkeeping the epoch would suck more than that pain IMO so i got rid of it, it screwed up the symbols and stuff19:10
Sarvattia32-libs might be screwed up by that :(19:10
Sarvattnot sure if the update script checks for a newer version and grabs that since the newer one will be older19:10
ricotzoh, didnt noticed is, let me look19:10
Sarvatti can upload a new ia32-libs source package, the bandwidth isnt an issue here (got 20Mbps up and no quota)19:12
Sarvattnot sure how though, need to look at it19:12
ricotzSarvatt, i have updated the ia32-libs just now19:12
ricotzshould be fine19:12
Sarvattthanks ricotz, sorry about all the trouble19:12
Sarvatti'm working on xserver master for maverick :D19:13
ricotzsounds like trouble ;-)19:13
Sarvattbut i'm going to hold off on it for at least a month or two, learned my lesson following master too closely in lucid19:13
Sarvattpeople actually expect xorg-edgers to work :)19:15
Sarvattchrisccoulson: you know, i should boot up a fedora 13 livecd and see if test-fade has the same problem there19:16
chrisccoulsonSarvatt - could do. remember though that test-fade has the additional issue where the buffer if not flushed properly, and the last SetCrtcGamma command never gets to the server19:16
Sarvatttheres no way thats related to this problem?19:18
chrisccoulsonSarvatt - i'm fairly sure it's unrelated. people could still recreate it even with the fix for that in19:18
Sarvattseems like it could be to me but i dont understand it that well, people saying it happens when you switch users in quick succession19:18
Sarvattah, test-fade is fixed in ubuntu?19:18
chrisccoulsonSarvatt - not yet. i uploaded a test build to my PPA a while ago, but it's not there any more19:19
Sarvattdidn't know ya fixed that, i haven't looked since i dont even use gnome-screensaver and just reported the bug to condense a bunch of duplicates19:19
Sarvattahh ok19:19
Sarvattgnome-screensaver in karmic didn't have xrandr fade right? i know it was upstreamed in november but not sure if it was added in -backports or something19:49
Sarvattor a point release later19:49
chrisccoulsonSarvatt, yeah, xrandr fade was only introduced in lucid20:42
brycehchrisccoulson, RAOF usually comes on in about +2 hrs20:47
chrisccoulsonbryceh, thanks20:47
brycehchrisccoulson, maybe drop him an email in the meanwhile20:48
Sarvattsheesh, put off setting up git send-email for so long and it was so easy :D23:03
Sarvattricotz: gconf was updated so your mutter ppa works again \o/23:04
