| soreau | about ppa-purge, is it a tool to purge any repo for ubuntu? but ppa-purge itself is provided by xorg-edgers? | 01:31 |
| RAOF | It'll purge any PPA; it's also in Universe as of Maverick. | 01:37 |
| soreau | oh cool, thanks | 03:20 |

| Sarvatt | well ditching compiz slowed down the memory leak on intel at least, 370MB after 24 hours instead of 2gb+ and it was 300MB or so when I disabled compiz. haven't figured out whats causing the leak yet :( | 18:50 |
| bryceh | heya Sarvatt | 18:55 |
| Sarvatt | heyo bryce! | 18:55 |
| cnd | bryceh, do you have a moment to chat about ABI dependencies between evdev and xserver-xorg-core? | 21:10 |
| cnd | I'd like to figure out what the best way to handle it is | 21:10 |
| bryceh | cnd, sure | 21:11 |
| bryceh | cnd, tjaalton or jcristau probably are the best people to give advice here | 21:12 |
| cnd | ok | 21:14 |
| bryceh | cnd, the xorg package has files in debian/scripts/vars.* which set up dependencies on the drivers | 21:14 |
| bryceh | e.g. | 21:14 |
| bryceh | XSERVER_XORG_INPUT_DEPENDS="xserver-xorg-input-evdev, \ | 21:14 |
| bryceh | xserver-xorg-input-synaptics, \ | 21:14 |
| bryceh | ... | 21:14 |
| jg | bryceh: I'm finally back to trying to get this HP 2540p going (eDP display); I have a maverick install running; but screen is flashing at a couple hertz; any prayer of xorg-edgers working this instant? | 21:15 |
| bryceh | so that's sort of where my concern about a circular dependency is | 21:15 |
| cnd | bryceh, would it be better to just assume that things will work? | 21:15 |
| bryceh | jg, no idea I haven't been keeping up on it; Sarvatt would be better to ask | 21:15 |
| cnd | there's api/abi changes that x goes through all the time | 21:16 |
| bryceh | cnd, probably... could you explain particularly what motivated it? | 21:16 |
| jg | bryceh: I would have asked him, but he wasn't around.... | 21:16 |
| cnd | bryceh: the new evdev module will require the server to have gesture support, and that support landed in the *-1ubuntu2 version of the server | 21:17 |
| cnd | that version has been there for a week now | 21:17 |
| jcristau | cnd: the server installs files in /usr/share/xserver-xorg/ that driver packaging uses to set up dependencies. | 21:17 |
| cnd | jcristau, thanks, I'll take a look | 21:17 |
| jcristau | cnd: so if you bump that in the server, drivers built against it will get the bumped dependency | 21:17 |
| jcristau | or should, anyway | 21:17 |
| bryceh | jcristau, thanks | 21:17 |
| cnd | jcristau, bryceh, so the input abi/api hasn't changed, but I see that the file also has xserver-xorg-core (>= 2:1.8.99.904) | 21:18 |
| cnd | should I bump that to xserver-xorg-core (>= 2:1.8.99.904-1ubuntu2)? | 21:18 |
| cnd | it's not really an issue for anything other than evdev | 21:19 |
| jcristau | cnd: debian/serverminver in the server package | 21:20 |
| nigelb | Anyone heard of an issue where the screen's flickr after about 30 minutes of switching on? | 21:20 |
| nigelb | they just flickr like a barcode :( | 21:20 |
| cnd | jcristau, ok, so you would recommend bumping that up to *-1ubuntu2? | 21:22 |
| jcristau | cnd: yep | 21:22 |
| cnd | jcristau, ok, thanks! | 21:22 |
| jcristau | np | 21:22 |
| cnd | jcristau, should I add a build-deps in evdev against the new version of xorg-server? | 21:26 |
| jcristau | probably, yes | 21:26 |
| cnd | so that we're sure the right serverminveris picked up | 21:26 |
| cnd | ok | 21:26 |
| cnd | bryceh, if I upload a new server package with just the bump in debian/serverminver to people.canonical.com, can you upload that to the archive for me? | 21:29 |
| cnd | it's the only change I'll make | 21:29 |
| bryceh | cnd, certainly | 21:29 |
| cnd | k, thanks | 21:29 |
| fester | hi, i'm trying to get kernel 2.6.35 to work with fglrx | 21:40 |
| fester | i run aticonfig --initial=dual-head and it writes a new xorg conf, but it always errors out on a rebot | 21:41 |
| fester | reboot | 21:41 |
| fester | anyone have any experience with this? | 21:41 |
| fester | am i in the wrong place? | 21:42 |
| cnd | bryceh, I've got a new source package pushed to http://people.canonical.com/~cndougla/x/ | 21:43 |
| cnd | that's for xorg-server | 21:43 |
| cnd | bryceh, actually, I should do a quick build test with that just to be sure | 21:51 |
| cnd | I'd feel bad if I somehow screwed up something so small :) | 21:51 |
| bryceh | heh, ok | 21:51 |
| bryceh | and one day we'll have a test suite to run too ;-) | 21:53 |
| bryceh | cnd, I've gone ahead and committed this change to our git tree | 21:57 |
| bryceh | (and pushed) | 21:58 |
| cnd | bryceh, to the git tree but not the archive, right? | 21:59 |
| bryceh | correct | 21:59 |
| cnd | k | 21:59 |
| cnd | bryceh, looks good for me | 22:04 |
| cnd | please upload to the archive | 22:04 |
| cnd | I'll send out a new email with my updates to evdev | 22:04 |
| bryceh | cnd, done, uploaded to maverick | 22:05 |
| cnd | thanks! | 22:05 |
| cnd | bryceh, I just updated the evdev git repo and sent a reply to your review | 22:08 |
| bryceh | ok | 22:08 |
