persiaRAOF, So, I happened to think of another awkward case for projector attachment today: 1024x576 netbook attached to 800x600 projector, and wanting to avoid the 640x480 case.  Ideally letterbox projector from 1024x768, but if the projector can't do that, maybe trim both displays to 800x576, or is that just incredibly painful?00:28
RAOFI think 800x576 would be the resolution the algorithm we discussed would pick; I don't think that'll be any more or less painful than the other cases.00:32
persiaSo black bars top&bottom on the projector, and left&right on the netbook?00:33
* persia had misremembered picking the largest common resolution, perhaps with one letterbox, rather than creating new ones00:34
RAOFI think if we're going to do one letterbox we may as well allow two.00:36
persiaI think you're right: I just completely forgot about 1024x576 and 852x480 glass at the session.00:37

WubbbiDo someone know when the fglrx driver will be updated in Natty. We still have an old version. Can someone maybe maintain it?21:12
brycehWubbbi, someone does know that yes21:17
Wubbbiok21:18
brycehWubbbi, fglrx will probably break once new kernel and/or xserver abi is introduced (probably soon), and will stay broke until amd updates it21:19
Wubbbi-_- thats shitty21:19
brycehwhich based on history won't be for some time.  so I think there's not going to be much there to maintain21:19
brycehI could be wrong, but that's how things usually play out21:19
tseliot1I forgot to update it in Natty21:36
RAOFThere is an update for natty? :)21:47
tseliot1no, just a driver update I guess21:51
sarvatttseliot: did you see there was a nvidia-96 update that works with xserver 1.9 today?21:52
sarvattoh missed him21:52
bjsnideri don't believe they're still spending time on that driver21:57
RAOFIt shouldn't be a lot of work to update the ABI; it's essentially a rebuild.21:58
RAOF(In the best case)21:58
sarvattyay for being chained to the blob again, all the 260.xx blobs have a nasty flickering problem during powermizer reclocking on my 460m :(23:52
sarvattwho am I kidding thinking i'll get more than 30 minutes battery life anyway on this thing :)23:53
RAOF460m?  That seems suitably high-end :)23:53
sarvattdarn microcenter right next door to the hotel at plumbers, I bought a 17" monster that'll be fun to take on the flight back23:54
sarvattthe livecd is quite pretty at 800x600 on a 1920x1080 screen using vesa (yes thats sarcasm)23:56
RAOFNo kms driver?23:58
sarvattnope23:58
sarvattunknown device to nouveau23:58
