| njpatel | So, intel 4500MHD can drive 4098x1152 through display port -> dvi and VGA, and unity is fast on it | 16:31 |
| njpatel | however, getting the displayport up and running is a lesson in patience. Most of the time X just hangs and you need to pull out the lead for it come out of that | 16:32 |
| njpatel | also, can't leave it plugged in and restart, everything stops while trying to start GDM until you pull out the displayport lead | 16:33 |
| njpatel | even on a running system, it actually working is incredibly hit and miss, I was wondering if there was any knowledge of that? | 16:33 |
| Sarvatt | njpatel: the displayport->dvi adapter is the problem there I believe, I just saw some fixes for it recently let me see if they are in already | 16:36 |
| njpatel | i915 0000:00:02.0: DP-1: Ignoring invalid EDID block 40. | 16:41 |
| njpatel | [ 152.029383] [drm:drm_edid_block_valid] *ERROR* EDID checksum is invalid, remainder is 1 | 16:41 |
| njpatel | getting tons of those in dmesg | 16:42 |
| Sarvatt | njpatel: ya disappeared right when i responded :) | 16:42 |
| Sarvatt | njpatel: the displayport->dvi adapter is the problem there I believe, I just saw some fixes for it recently let me see if they are in already | 16:42 |
| njpatel | sorry :) | 16:42 |
| njpatel | Sarvatt, ah, interesting | 16:43 |
| Sarvatt | njpatel: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/ickle/drm-intel.git;a=commit;h=8316f33766a82907c694267ff911e45e256f09f9 is the fix and its queued up for .38 merge window | 16:43 |
| Sarvatt | http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/drm-intel-next/2010-12-17-natty/ | 16:43 |
| Sarvatt | its in that kernel | 16:43 |
| njpatel | oh, sweet | 16:43 |
| Sarvatt | if ya want to verify it fixes it | 16:43 |
| * njpatel tries | 16:43 | |
| njpatel | Sarvatt, thanks, will install and try it out | 16:44 |
| njpatel | it's kinda awesome this laptop can even drive these two displays in the first place | 16:44 |
| njpatel | i was pleasantly surprised :) | 16:44 |
| njpatel_ | Sarvatt, it works!! | 16:51 |
| njpatel_ | thank you :) | 16:51 |
| * njpatel_ has stupidly wide desktop again | 16:52 | |
| njpatel_ | it even detects all the properties off the displayport properly | 16:52 |
| === njpatel_ is now known as njpatel | ||
| Sarvatt | no worries, I'll ping you when its in the proper distro kernel so you dont have to keep using that crack :) | 16:52 |
| njpatel | heh, thanks :) | 16:53 |
| njpatel | if you need any testing done on silly intel setups, let me know | 16:53 |
| njpatel | though, as I'm developing Unity, there is already stupid testing happening ;) | 16:54 |
| Sarvatt | I'm surprised it works too honestly :) your laptop panel turns off so you can use the vga and displayport? | 16:55 |
| njpatel | I haven't tried switching on the laptop panel too | 17:01 |
| njpatel | let me try..... | 17:02 |
| * njpatel expects things will die now | 17:02 | |
| njpatel | yeah, not happening :) | 17:02 |
| Sarvatt | naaah not worth the hassle, was just surprised it did the right thing for a change | 17:02 |
| njpatel | it thinks it's on but nothing showing up | 17:03 |
| njpatel | and can't move the pointer there | 17:03 |
| njpatel | i'm just surprised it's *so* fast | 17:03 |
| njpatel | scale/expo etc work really smoothly | 17:03 |
| Sarvatt | yeah good riddance clutter!!! | 17:03 |
| njpatel | heh :) | 17:03 |
| njpatel | oh, just got a notification letting me know that the "selected configuration for displays could not be applied" | 17:04 |
| njpatel | I hate that this makes me like the intel driver | 17:04 |
| Sarvatt | bdmurray: duping all "failed to install/upgrade" bugs from nvidia-current and fglrx-installer's bugs to 557023 when casper is present in ProcCmdLine: in the description would knock out a HUGE chunk of bugs if you have a way to automate that easily | 22:57 |
| bdmurray | Sarvatt: yes, I could do that | 22:58 |
| Sarvatt | heck, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fglrx-installer?field.searchtext=failed+to+casper grabs them too :) | 23:00 |
| Sarvatt | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers?field.searchtext=failed+to+casper whee | 23:01 |
| Sarvatt | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers?field.searchtext=failed+script+returned+error+exit+casper is better | 23:03 |
| bdmurray | I've just been searching for apport-package as a parameter and the examining the bugs | 23:04 |
| Sarvatt | casper is only there when apport collects the info off the livecd so those are all for sure dupes, that's a nice chunk of bugs to knock out | 23:05 |
| bdmurray | I'm fairly certain LiveMediaBuild indicates that it is a live cd too | 23:05 |
| Sarvatt | ah yeah thats even better | 23:06 |
| Sarvatt | maybe someone decides to talk about casper the friendly ghost in the bug summary | 23:06 |
| bdmurray | well, now my code is a bit better than that | 23:06 |
| Sarvatt | <jbarnes> intel_reg_write 0xa090 0x88040000 | 23:08 |
| Sarvatt | <jbarnes> vs | 23:08 |
| Sarvatt | <jbarnes> intel_reg_write 0xa090 0x88000000 | 23:08 |
| Sarvatt | <jbarnes> is a 4W difference | 23:08 |
| Sarvatt | \o/ \o/ \o/ \o/ | 23:08 |
| Sarvatt | holy crap, huge power savings for intel incoming | 23:08 |
| Sarvatt | well for 965gm+ at least | 23:10 |
| ion | The byte 2 defines the number of watts to use to heat the room? | 23:11 |
| Sarvatt | enables a power saving feature that wasn't getting enabled, and boo it's just sandybridge, already enabled on the others | 23:13 |
| Sarvatt | heh some of these bugs have pages and pages of duplicates already too | 23:23 |
| Sarvatt | so glad I dont have to fix that manually anymore | 23:24 |
| bryceh | Sarvatt, wow | 23:29 |
| Sarvatt | ok nvidia-graphics-drivers and nvidia-graphics-drivers-180 done, need to do 96 and 173 | 23:29 |
| bryceh | Sarvatt, makes me wonder what that register does... | 23:30 |
| Sarvatt | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bugs?field.searchtext=failed+script+returned+error+exit+LiveMediaBuild would all be the same bug across all packages if it would work | 23:30 |
| Sarvatt | bryceh: enables rc6 | 23:30 |
| bryceh | what's rc6? | 23:30 |
| Sarvatt | google intel rc6 render standby | 23:30 |
| Sarvatt | dang https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bugs?field.searchtext=failed+script+returned+error+exit+LiveMediaBuild is just too much for poor little launchpad | 23:31 |
| Sarvatt | oh it worked! 1 → 75 of 233 results | 23:32 |
| Sarvatt | 233 more dupes.. | 23:32 |
| Sarvatt | bryceh: it lowers the voltage on the gpu down to almost nothing when idle | 23:35 |
