[01:48] <JakeJBailey> how should i go about removing gnome and installing fluxbox?
[03:56] <cwillu_> anyone know anything about ks8851?
[04:04]  * Neko imaging smartbooks for UDS
[22:38] <JakeJBailey> can I use ubuntu repos on debian for beagleboard?
[22:45] <dmart> JakeJBailey: do you mean you have debian on your beagle and want to install ubuntu packages?
[22:48] <JakeJBailey> exactly
[22:48] <dmart> JakeJBailey: though I've not tried it myself, I believe it may work in many cases
[22:49] <dmart> You may hit some ABI issues, because debian builds for ARMv4, but Ubuntu builds for ARMv7 with the Thumb-2 instruction set
[22:49] <JakeJBailey> cool, I am having trouble finding the repos for arm
[22:50] <dmart> deb http://ports.ubuntu.com maverick main [etc.]
[22:50] <JakeJBailey> you mean just becuase I am running debian I can not compile things for ARMv7 and have it work?
[22:50] <dmart> It depends on the current toolchain in debian - I believe you should be able to compile for v7
[22:50] <dmart> But the debian archive is not built for v7 by default
[22:50] <JakeJBailey> okay cool, my ultimate goal here is to run openarena
[22:51] <dmart> I guess the answer is - try it ;)
[22:51] <JakeJBailey> dont know if going from a v4 build to v7 will help performance that much but i would imagine it would have to help some
[22:53] <dmart> If you are always running on capable hardware, you have the option to enable hardware floating point - again, for maximum compatibility the debian archive is built for soft-float only
[22:54] <dmart> It depends on what kind of code the package you're actually contains though.
[22:56] <JakeJBailey> even for an opengl game such as openarena?
[22:58] <dmart> JakeJBailey: I guess it's more a question of backend libraries and/or graphics acceleration then
[22:58] <dmart> have to go, I'm afraid...
[22:58] <dmart> good luck
