| Gumby | hi all. I've added the ubuntu-x server and upgraded the nvidia packages in natty. X fails to start afterwards and Xorg.0.log mentions that I need to use --ignoreABI because of the unsuppoted X version. Where exactly do I add this? | 00:18 |
|---|---|---|
| bryceh | Gumby, can't use proprietary -nvidia on natty for now | 00:20 |
| bryceh | Gumby, see release notes | 00:20 |
| Gumby | ah, so no 3d or Unity? | 00:21 |
| Gumby | I tried also using the default development driver as well but that didnt seem to work either | 00:21 |
| bryceh | there's an experimental 3d mesa package that adds 3d to nouveau | 00:26 |
| bryceh | it's not supported though, but might work | 00:26 |
| bryceh | we'll get a fixed -nvidia within a month or so | 00:26 |
| Gumby | ok. thanks for the info | 00:27 |

| hifi | hey, why the newest savage ddx ain't pulled to natty? | 08:26 |
| hifi | it's only a bugfix release that is required for it to work properly | 08:27 |

| tormod | hifi, the bug fix in savage 2.3.2 was cherry-picked to maverick/natty 2.3.1 | 15:44 |
| tormod | hifi, but there is nothing against merging 2.3.2-1 | 15:44 |
| hifi | tormod: oh, good to know, thanks | 16:37 |
| tormod | hifi, what card do you have? | 16:43 |
| hifi | thinkpad t23, it has a supersavage, can't remember the exact model | 16:44 |
| hifi | I did the original bug report to upstream | 16:44 |
| tormod | hifi, alright. btw, does glxblur work on it? | 16:46 |
| hifi | blur? never used it | 16:46 |
| tormod | it's an xscreensaver hack | 16:46 |
| vish | ooh! kernel .38 with ati makes we feel funky :D , weird flashes/glitches with compiz.. ;) | 16:46 |
| hifi | not even any desktop effects work, like compositing | 16:47 |
| hifi | as far as I've tested | 16:47 |
| hifi | the only thing the card is good for is xmoto | 16:47 |
| tormod | hifi, yes, compiz won't work, missing support for NPOT textures | 16:47 |
| hifi | I mean not even xcompmgr | 16:48 |
| tormod | vish, for me the .38 work fine in lucid, but natty is a bit unstable, probably the new ddx enabling new features (pageflip) | 16:49 |
| vish | on maverick here, cube and anything triggering fullscreen changes causes odd effects.. | 16:50 |
| vish | not permanent, i'd just have to switch views to something else and back, it clears up | 16:51 |
| vish | changing workspaces with the cube is the best, its like a disco flashing :D | 16:52 |
| tormod | hifi, Alex V.L. was looking at composite for savage once (http://lists.x.org/archives/xorg/2008-April/034441.html) but I would not hold my breath | 16:57 |
| tormod | the card is good for some 3D screensavers :) | 16:57 |
| hifi | if you can stand the high pitch noise :p | 16:58 |
| hifi | at least my T23 puts out one when it's rendering 3D | 16:58 |
| alex_mayorga | Any reports of video corruption in 2.6.38 on nvidia cards? | 19:29 |
