JanCanybody know how well ATI/Intel switching graphics work with Ubuntu?00:30
JanCin 10.10 I mean00:30
geneirosi have only nvidia card...cant help...00:36
geneirosdo you mean hibrid cards?00:37
penguin42JanC: I've been lurking on #ubuntu+1 for quite a while now and I don't think I've seen anyone ask00:38
JanCit's some new tech with Core i3 and such where you can switch between the intel & radeon card at runtime on windows00:43
JanCused in laptops00:43
penguin42JanC: Yeh it's been around for a while ; I use a machine at work that has such a setup00:43
penguin42but I just keep it locked on Intel00:44
JanCbut I was mostly wanting to know if it was possible to use the ATI card  ;)00:44
penguin42JanC: The Bios on the thinkpad I have allows you to select between switchable and one or the other in the bios00:44
JanCit's an MSI laptop00:45
penguin42JanC: Theoretically I think the kernel now has the feature enabled (VGA Switcheroo) don't know what hardware it works on though00:45
JanCanyway, the intel part works fine, just don't know how to use the radeon part  ☺00:46
penguin42JanC: Do you see a /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo ?00:46
JanCnope, didn't have much time anyway00:46
JanCI might have a look at that when I go to my parent next time  ☺00:47
penguin42JanC: See http://asusm51ta-with-linux.blogspot.com/00:47
JanCthanks, I'll have a look at it00:49
JanCUbuntu might need to grow support for this though, as it proposes to install fglrx, but when you install it, it doesn't boot anymore  ;)00:51
JanCwell, boots, but doesn't start X00:51
bjsniderwhere's the best place to look for a log message when compiz fails to load?03:30
ari-tczewdoes ubuntu use package nvidia-kernel-common ?22:54
ari-tczewI would merge this one in natty.22:55
bjsniderno it does not22:56
bjsniderit uses nvidia-common though22:56
ari-tczewbjsnider: so package can be deleted?22:57
bjsniderwhat do you mean?23:01
bjsniderari-tczew, sorry, i misinterpreted your original question. You can probably delete that package23:02
ari-tczewbjsnider: ok, I'll open a request.23:04
AlanDamn, can you guys work out where you want configuration to be? :P23:35
RAOFIt hasn't changed since Lucid :)23:35
AlanYes it has23:35
RAOFLucid had it in /usr/share/X11l/xorg.conf.d; we backported that patch (didn't we?)23:36
AlanWhat was /usr/lib/X11/xorg.conf.d/ now appears to be /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/23:36
AlanRAOF: not that i can see23:36
Alanstill at /usr/lib in Lucid for me23:36
RAOFOh.  Well, either way, it's unlikely to move from /usr/share/X11, which is where it should have been in the first place.23:36
Alan:P23:37
AlanAt least this isn't a major problem23:37
RAOFAlso, that shouldn't _really_ affect you; /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d will override those snippets (IIRC), and /etc/X11/xorg.conf will override _everything_ :)23:37
AlanUnlike the last 4 releases which have required completely different hacks to make my mouse button remapping work23:37
AlanRAOF: I thought /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ didn't work in Lucid?23:37
Alani thought that's why i ended up using the /usr/lib/X11.... one in the first place...23:38
RAOFIt might not have worked in Lucid, you're right.23:38
Alanwell i'm glad things have straightened out23:40
RAOFYeah.  This should be the final state.23:41
RAOFFor a while, at least.  Until we decide to go for some form of XML-based registry config :)23:41
Alanugh23:43
Alanyeah23:43
Alanbasically, i've been through Xorg.conf hacks, hal hacks, udev hacks, more hal hacks and then xorg.conf hacks to make this damned thing work over the last several releases....23:43
RAOFYeah.  We've been moving the foundations a bit.23:43
Alanoh good, just dropped my thing in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ and it worked23:44
RAOFYay!  Sane configuration!23:44
RAOFIncidentally, what specifically do you need to configure?23:44
AlanI love the .d/ habit in Linux23:44
AlanI have a multi-button mouse, and the side-button on the mouse is significantly more ergonomic than using a middle mouse button ever is, so i remap that button to be another button-223:45
Alanand seeming as i use middle mouse button A LOT... it's a pretty important thing for me23:46
Alanhttp://www.alanbriolat.co.uk/2010/04/remapping-mouse-buttons-on-ubuntu-lucid/23:46
* RAOF adds that to his UDS blueprint queue.23:52
ari-tczewcould someone take a look on bug 65327423:58
