DanaGdang: powervr drivers have no omapfb_dri.so (or such) for real GLX.00:23
DanaGSay, what does GMA500 get?  If gma500 gets GLX, then why does OMAP SGX not get GLX?00:25
Vic_Sage_The_Queanybody here01:50
Vic_Sage_The_Que??01:50
Vic_Sage_The_Quehow is the performance of an ARM processor vs an X86 for things like GIMP01:54
Baybalgimp it depends on version01:57
Baybalbefore gegl it was mostly integer based01:57
Baybalnow its mostly float math based01:57
Baybalarm is not a best float point performer on the market01:58
Baybalalthough A8 knocks down atoms in integer ops01:58
robclarkfwiw, cortex-a9 is better at fp... but integer and single precision float has more potential for simd..01:59
Vic_Sage_The_Quewell i was looking at getting a tegra based tablet for design work on the go01:59
Vic_Sage_The_Queso i'd be running things like inkscape, scribus, karbon1402:00
Vic_Sage_The_Quewould these perform ok??02:01
robclarkon tegra, no idea02:02
* prpplague pokes robclark in the eye with a sharp stick02:04
robclarkouch02:04
Vic_Sage_The_Quehttp://www.nvidia.com/object/tegra_250.html02:04
Vic_Sage_The_Queits a cortex-a902:05
robclarkVic_Sage_The_Que: so, I guess the answer is maybe ;-)02:06
robclarkI've not played with one, so I can't really say for sure02:06
Vic_Sage_The_Quehas anybody done something like this I was looking at getting a notion ink adam and dual booting android and ubuntu arm02:07
robclarkare they even available already?02:08
Vic_Sage_The_Quetheres devices using similar hardware02:08

ogra_cmpcOMG ! they sell the toshiba AC100 around the corner here10:49
* ogra_cmpc just found out 10:49
ogra_cmpcNCommander, persia, anyone intrested ? its 380 euro (tegra2, 512M) and qwertz kbd ... i could bring one to UDS10:51
NCommanderogra_cmpc: what's an AC100?11:21
NCommanderoh wait11:21
NCommanderYES!11:21
kblinnice.. apart from the qwertz keyboard ;)11:25
* kblin shakes his head11:25
NCommanderkblin: that can be fixed with a keymap11:25
NCommander<- *dvorak keyboard user (at times)*11:25
kblinNCommander: but it's irritating.. I'm doing that at work already11:26
NCommanderkblin: it could be worse11:26
kblintrue, could be windows11:26
NCommanderogra_cmpc: do you have a picture (I'm pretty sure I want one, but I can't find a pic of it here)11:27
kblinwith it's broken version of focus-follows-mouse11:27
kblinengadget had one11:27
kblinfirst google hit for me11:27
kblintoo bad I already reached my gadget allowance for this year..11:28
NCommanderkblin: w.r.t. to Android, remapping is trivial if it can be rooted11:28
NCommanderand if the kernel doesn't suck, it should run Ubuntu just fine.11:28
armin76linux support on the tegra2 is kinda awful11:28
kblinI shouldn't have told my $significant_other that the dockstar I got was a computer11:29
ogra_cmpcNCommander, only in a herman news article http://www.heise.de/mobil/artikel/10-Zoll-Netbook-Toshiba-AC100-mit-Nvidia-Tegra-250-und-Android-2-1-1072519.html11:31
ogra_cmpc*german11:32
ogra_cmpctry google translate... at the bottom there is a picture series11:32
ogra_cmpckblin, well, its a german version ... so it has a german kbd11:33
kblinogra_cmpc: sure. it's an uphill fight for me all the time to get a decent programming keyboard that has the right size enter key11:33
ogra_cmpcheh11:34
kblinthe other differences are irellevant, but the shape of the enter key and thus the positition of the \ key, that can't be fixed by keymaps11:35
ogra_cmpcwell, i find the price quite high, the kbd looks ok to me11:36
NCommanderogra_cmpc: its not hard to change the keymap.11:36
ogra_cmpcbut i usually use german kbd mapping anyway11:36
ogra_cmpcand 512M are quite low11:37
* kblin shrugs11:39
armin76low, heh11:39
ogra_cmpccompared to the panda ...11:39
kblin60% or my ARM devices have 128MB only11:39
ogra_cmpctegra also has no neon11:40
ogra_cmpcand given it comes with android the question is can you get a normal linux kernel source for it to run ubuntu11:41
armin76well, if you're comparing it with the omap4, then its going to suck for sure :)11:41
ogra_cmpcright11:41
ogra_cmpcand for that i find it a bit expensive11:42
ogra_cmpcthough SATA makes it intresting again11:42
armin76oh, it has sata? the dev board doesn't11:42
ogra_cmpcthe tech data i find everywhere for it says 8G SATA SSD11:43
ogra_cmpcmight indeed be attached through USB or something simlary weird11:43
armin76probably11:43
armin76the ethernet on the dev board is usb too11:44
armin76and not sure if you've ever seen this on other platforms, but the nvidia linux development kit uses ubuntu and a daemon for something :D11:45
ogra_cmpcomap4 is developed natively on ubuntu ;) doesnt need a daemon or kit11:46
armin76yeah well, nvidia is "special" regarding linux11:47
armin76the bootloader used is still the one for android, fastboot11:48
NCommanderarmin76: if it is unlocked, or not hard to unlock, that's trivial to get around.11:52
armin76NCommander: you'd first need to check it the tegra kernel supports the toshiba :)11:54
NCommanderarmin76: heh12:00
armin76which is unlikely12:04

rsavoyeNot real exciting, but here's a shot of Gnash doping YouTube on the Sharp NetWalker: http://www.gnashdev.org/images/IMGP2581.JPG16:00
rsavoyethis machine runs Jaunty16:00
devilhornsyou're right ... not real exciting ;)16:02
devilhornsewww red ... couldn't they have used a better color ? uff16:05
rsavoyeI had too many black netbooks :-)16:12
rsavoyethe netwalker is mostly for armel demos16:12
devilhornsahhh :) yea that seems to be the standard color16:12
rsavoyeat least with a red one, I can tell it's not one of my mipsel netbooks16:13
devilhornstrue :)16:13
rsavoyethe netwalker only runs flashlite, so doesn't handle youtube16:13
rsavoyebut with gnash it does :-)16:14
devilhorns:)16:14
rsavoyethe wonders of free software... now if I could just get maverick running on the netwalker, I'd be happy16:16
devilhornshehe16:20
rsavoyeI was bummed to see ubuntu drop i.mx51 support, but oh well...16:23
loolrsavoye: Note that the BSP isn't getting updated for latest kernels16:29
loolalso, tracking BSPs is painful; if it was just for the upstream kernel, it would be easier16:30
rsavoyeyes, but I don't plan to fix it16:30
rsavoyeI know, I used to write BSPs for a living16:30
rsavoyeI'm trying not to get my hopes up, but I may have just fixed pr 323 and pr484.16:30
loolI know you're not going to fix it, but you said you were bummed that Ubuntu dropped i.mx51 support  :-)16:31
armin76ubuntu dropped i.mx51 support?16:33
armin76lool: ^16:46
loolarmin76: well we dropped the bsp16:51
loollinux-fsl-imx5116:51
loolbut linaro builds an upstream imx51 flavour16:51
armin76ah well, thanks16:52
rsavoyeah, interesting. just released16:54
* cwillu pokes rcn-ee 17:23
rsavoyeyippie, my fixed arm assembler for OpenJDK passes the test suite :-)18:01
rsavoyeit actually gets better results than the interpreted mode18:02
robclark_rsalveti: JIT?18:03
rsavoyethumb2 JIT appears to be working as well now18:04
rsavoyedamn gcc optimizer bug :-(18:04
robclark_nice18:04
=== robclark_ is now known as robclark
rsavoyeworking with b20 in icedtea6 HEAD too :-)18:05
rsavoyeal the test that failed with interpreted mode are now just errors, but passing18:05
=== prpplague^2 is now known as prpplague
rsavoyeyep, slightly better results than the arm interpreter, now running the langtools tests18:26

* cwillu_at_work pokes rcn-ee again21:45
rcn-eehey cwillu_at_work, was testing out btrfs, do you use differnet bootargs (such as 'rw') or disable fsck in /etc/fstab?21:57
cwillu_at_workrcn-ee, both21:57
cwillu_at_workbtrfs's fsck doesn't do anything yet, although somebody's working on that21:58
cwillu_at_workor rather, fsck doesn't _fix_ anything yet, and fails at the same point that btrfs would itself detect an error21:58
cwillu_at_workwell, that's what I do on my beagle images22:01
cwillu_at_workI've got two desktop's with btrfs roots as well, they're both ro with nothing done to disable fsck22:02
rcn-eeThanks cwillu_at_work, i remember you saying the btrfs's fsck wasn't ready, so i wasn't sure which method you did to get it to boot.. (it fails when trying to find the fake btrfs fsck from btrfs-tools)22:05
