[06:41] <RAOF> You know what would be nice?  If building xorg-server on armel didn't take all day.
[11:01] <JamesWStubbs> Hello, is porting Ubuntu to a mobile device (Apple iPhone) considered appropriate in this room?
[11:06] <tjaalton> can't see why it would be
[11:07] <JamesWStubbs> I was advised to ask here about mu problem
[11:07] <JamesWStubbs> What does the x stand for in #ubuntu-x ??
[11:07] <tjaalton> X.org
[11:07] <JamesWStubbs> My query is xorg related
[11:07] <tjaalton> make that X.Org
[11:10] <JamesWStubbs> Basically, I've gotten the screen to display and accept input using fbdev and evtouch, for the sake of screen estate I need to rotate the screen to landscape. If I use the option Option "Rotate" "CW" the display will rotate perfectly fine, but as soon as the screen's touched X11 will close. I've also tried adding Mode "480x320" in a subsection of xorg.conf but then xrandr doesn't show that rotation is possible.
[11:11] <JamesWStubbs> I can't release my images while the screen's portrait, applications are unusable.
[11:17] <JamesWStubbs> Is my query X.Org related? Or should I look elsewhere?
[11:18] <tjaalton> so it crashes. have you tried debugging why?
[11:18] <tjaalton> does fbdev support rotating the screen?
[11:19] <JamesWStubbs> tjaalton: I've tried debugging nothing grabbed my attention, fbdev should support rotation
[11:20] <tjaalton> you could try on #xorg-devel
[11:21] <JamesWStubbs> It isn't a relevant query according to them
[11:22] <JamesWStubbs> I've asked them questions over the course of developing Ubuntu on the iPhone
[11:23] <tjaalton> yeah, it's silly anyway ;)
[11:24] <JamesWStubbs> What's silly the idea behind the port? or the issue with X11?
[11:24] <tjaalton> the port
[11:24] <JamesWStubbs> :) Why do you think that?
[11:25] <tjaalton> i thought it was a capable phone as is
[11:25] <tjaalton> so why brick it :)
[11:25] <JamesWStubbs> The process is very safe, it uses loopback images so the host partition isn't effected
[11:25] <JamesWStubbs> The only issue I've had up to now is that it seems to reset the time and date, I'm working on that.
[11:27] <tjaalton> sounds like evtouch makes the server crash
[11:27] <tjaalton> why not use evdev?
[11:27] <tjaalton> evtouch is unmaintained anyway
[11:27] <JamesWStubbs> I used evdev, worked perfectly in landscape
[11:28] <JamesWStubbs> But it doesn't support right-click
[11:28] <tjaalton> works fine with my mouse
[11:28] <JamesWStubbs> It's a touchscreen
[11:28] <tjaalton> yes?
[11:29] <JamesWStubbs> Right click has to be emulated
[11:29] <JamesWStubbs> Long press for right click
[11:29] <tjaalton> so add support for it in evdev
[11:29] <JamesWStubbs> My co-developer is working on that
[11:29] <JamesWStubbs> While I try to sort evtouch
[11:29] <tjaalton> sounds like you should move on ;)
[11:30] <JamesWStubbs> Until one of us solves the problem with either driver, I shouldn't move on.
[11:31] <JamesWStubbs> There's a patch for right click he's working on compiling.
[11:31] <tjaalton> well, that's my advice anyway
[11:31] <JamesWStubbs> Ok
[15:37] <JamesWStubbs> Hello, im trying to compile evdev from source, I have a patch I need to apply https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=321924&action=diff&context=patch&collapsed=&headers=1&format=raw , I have used apt-get source xserver....evdev
[15:37] <JamesWStubbs> How would I merge the two .diff ?
[15:37] <JamesWStubbs> So they're both applied when I compile?
[19:06] <cnd> RAOF, do you know when the new xorg-server will be uploaded?
