LLStarksso, ubot: bug 71156801:28
ubot4Launchpad bug 711568 in xserver-xorg-video-intel (Ubuntu) (and 1 other project) "Dithering regression on Intel graphics with .38 Natty kernel (affects: 1) (heat: 6)" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/71156801:28
LLStarksgonna do some upstream testing01:28
RAOFThe obvious interesting testing would be to find the commit which regressed things.01:30
RAOFThere wouldn't actually be *that* many commits to the relevant code between the last working kernel and the first one that fails.01:30
NCommanderIf I have a segfault on startup with X, what's the best way to obtain a GDB trace? I tried to get a corefile, but failed miserably02:14

tjaaltonhmm, upgrading would remove -nv and -nouveau08:42
tjaaltonand plymouth, by the looks of it08:42
tjaaltonoh right, xorg-edgers fallout08:45
gaelle_hello, i have a problem with the intel driver in the xswat repository. I solves a big rendering bug i'm having with 10.10, but i can not use a dual screen setup anymore09:57
gaelle_the problem is, the second screen is working correctly, but the primary screen is shifted to the left by around 200 pixels. those 200 pixels on the right side of the screen that "should" be black, are filled with the leftmost 200 pixels of the second screen09:59
gaelle_the second screen is on the left of the first screen09:59
gaelle_i can't take a screenshot because on the screenshot everything looks correct09:59
gaelle_i could take a photograph if somebody would be interested10:00
tjaaltonwhat's the original bug#10:10
tjaaltonand the commit that claimed to fix it10:10
tjaaltonand do you mean xorg-edgers or x-updates?10:11
gaelle_i mean x-updates. i don't have a original bug, never searched for it actually, just tested if the x-updates ppa would solve my problem10:13
tjaaltonwell, looks like it's a backported package from natty, and it's not generally supported10:13
tjaaltonand it's an old release10:13
tjaaltonthe backported driver that is..10:14
gaelle_i see, so i should not use x-updates in 10.1010:14
gaelle_would xorg-edgers be better?10:14
tjaaltonprobably not :)10:15
tjaaltonsince it tend to follow the crack-of-the-day10:15
tjaaltontends10:15
tjaaltonthough I'm not sure how it is right now10:15
tjaaltonyou could try natty alpha2 once it's ready, and see if both of those are fixed10:16
tjaalton..with no new regressions :)10:16
gaelle_i will do that. thanks for your help :) helps me to save some time ;)10:17

brycehmorning17:06
tjaaltonevening :)17:13
brycehtjaalton, how was your first day?  exciting?  dreadful?  mired in paperwork and subscription forms?17:17
tjaaltonbryceh: just pending on getting shell access so I can configure procmail17:18
brycehbtw some of the internal lists are rather chatty, sometimes mindlessly so ;-)17:19
tjaaltonfilters will take care of it :)17:19
tjaaltonI upgraded to current natty, seems to work ok17:23
tjaaltonsuspend still doesn't though17:23
brycehtjaalton, nvidia?17:27
tjaaltonnope, intel17:27
brycehhmm, it's been working for me ok17:27
brycehactually been quite reliable on several machines17:27
tjaaltonmine just reboots on resume17:28
tjaaltonon kernels newer than 2.6.3517:28
brycehtjaalton, ok that sounds bad.  I'd suggest filing a kernel bug17:28
tjaaltondone that some time ago17:28
tjaaltonI'll poke people again after the .38-rc3 kernel is in the archive17:29
brycehtjaalton, bug #?17:29
brycehok, that sounds good17:29
brycehtjaalton, by the way, the technique for getting the kernel team to look at bugs is to pm JFo and ask him to "put it on the kernel team's review list"17:29
brycehand then buy him a beer if it works ;-)17:29
tjaaltonalright, brian already assigned it to the team (well, mine ;)17:30
tjaaltonwill make sure JFo knows about it if I can reproduce it with the post-alpha2 kernel17:34
brycehtjaalton, exellent, good luck17:34
bjsniderSarvatt, do you think it would be worthwhile to rebuild the 270 blob to account for the changes in natty?21:05
Sarvattbjsnider: I dropped the abi stuff in the x-updates one so it'd work, it doesn't work with this xserver though21:05
bjsnideri thought they added support in the 270 blob?21:06
Sarvattfor xserver from december 7th, there have been 2 abi breaks since then21:06
bjsniderwell, that's the end of that idea21:07
Sarvattshouldn't be too much longer hopefully, they said the next 270 beta would work21:07
