[06:14] <RAOF> Grumble grumble stupid x11-proto updates grumble grumble.
[08:19] <Sarvatt> grumble grumble compiz still no workie on sandybridge grumble
[08:51] <Sarvatt> RAOF: did you see that the glx patch got a v3?
[09:31] <Sarvatt> RAOF: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=28181#c31 with the v2 patch :(
[09:31] <ubot4> Freedesktop bug 28181 in Server/general "Combination of foss ati driver 6.13.0 and xorg-server 1.8.1 gives seg faults." [Normal,New]
[14:52] <bjsnider> Sarvatt, sandybridge has not been released yet
[16:31] <njpatel> So, intel 4500MHD can drive 4098x1152 through display port -> dvi and VGA, and unity is fast on it
[16:32] <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
[16:33] <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?
[16:36] <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
[16:41] <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
[16:42] <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 :)
[16:43] <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
[16:44] <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 :)
[16:51] <njpatel_> Sarvatt, it works!!
[16:51] <njpatel_> thank you :)
[16:52]  * njpatel_ has stupidly wide desktop again
[16:52] <njpatel_> it even detects all the properties off the displayport properly
[16:52] <Sarvatt> no worries, I'll ping you when its in the proper distro kernel so you dont have to keep using that crack :)
[16:53] <njpatel> heh, thanks :)
[16:53] <njpatel> if you need any testing done on silly intel setups, let me know
[16:54] <njpatel> though, as I'm developing Unity, there is already stupid testing happening ;)
[16:55] <Sarvatt> I'm surprised it works too honestly :) your laptop panel turns off so you can use the vga and displayport?
[17:01] <njpatel> I haven't tried switching on the laptop panel too
[17:02] <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
[17:03] <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 :)
[17:04] <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
[22:57] <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
[22:58] <bdmurray> Sarvatt: yes, I could do that
[23:00] <Sarvatt> heck, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fglrx-installer?field.searchtext=failed+to+casper grabs them too :)
[23:01] <Sarvatt> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers?field.searchtext=failed+to+casper whee
[23:03] <Sarvatt> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers?field.searchtext=failed+script+returned+error+exit+casper is better
[23:04] <bdmurray> I've just been searching for apport-package as a parameter and the examining the bugs
[23:05] <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
[23:06] <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
 intel_reg_write 0xa090 0x88040000
 vs
 intel_reg_write 0xa090 0x88000000
 is a 4W difference
[23:08] <Sarvatt> \o/ \o/ \o/ \o/
[23:08] <Sarvatt> holy crap, huge power savings for intel incoming
[23:10] <Sarvatt> well for 965gm+ at least
[23:11] <ion> The byte 2 defines the number of watts to use to heat the room?
[23:13] <Sarvatt> enables a power saving feature that wasn't getting enabled, and boo it's just sandybridge, already enabled on the others
[23:23] <Sarvatt> heh some of these bugs have pages and pages of duplicates already too
[23:24] <Sarvatt> so glad I dont have to fix that manually anymore
[23:29] <bryceh> Sarvatt, wow
[23:29] <Sarvatt> ok nvidia-graphics-drivers and nvidia-graphics-drivers-180 done, need to do 96 and 173
[23:30] <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
[23:31] <Sarvatt> dang https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bugs?field.searchtext=failed+script+returned+error+exit+LiveMediaBuild is just too much for poor little launchpad
[23:32] <Sarvatt> oh it worked! 1 → 75 of 233 results	
[23:32] <Sarvatt> 233 more dupes..
[23:35] <Sarvatt> bryceh:  it lowers the voltage on the gpu down to almost nothing when idle
