[00:18] <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?
[00:20] <bryceh> Gumby, can't use proprietary -nvidia on natty for now
[00:20] <bryceh> Gumby, see release notes
[00:21] <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
[00:26] <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
[00:27] <Gumby> ok.  thanks for the info
[08:26] <hifi> hey, why the newest savage ddx ain't pulled to natty?
[08:27] <hifi> it's only a bugfix release that is required for it to work properly
[15:44] <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
[16:37] <hifi> tormod: oh, good to know, thanks
[16:43] <tormod> hifi, what card do you have?
[16:44] <hifi> thinkpad t23, it has a supersavage, can't remember the exact model
[16:44] <hifi> I did the original bug report to upstream
[16:46] <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.. ;)
[16:47] <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
[16:48] <hifi> I mean not even xcompmgr
[16:49] <tormod> vish, for me the .38 work fine in lucid, but natty is a bit unstable, probably the new ddx enabling new features (pageflip)
[16:50] <vish> on maverick here, cube and anything triggering fullscreen changes causes odd effects..
[16:51] <vish> not permanent, i'd just have to switch views to something else and back, it clears up
[16:52] <vish> changing workspaces with the cube is the best, its like a disco flashing :D
[16:57] <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 :)
[16:58] <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
[19:29] <alex_mayorga> Any reports of video corruption in 2.6.38 on nvidia cards?
[20:31] <alex_mayorga> Can I get some pairs of eyes on bug 713781 please?
[20:31] <ubot4> Launchpad bug 713781 in xorg (Ubuntu) "[natty] Video corruption on kernel 2.6.38-1-generic and nVidia Corporation GT216 [GeForce GT 230M] (rev a2) (affects: 1) (heat: 6)" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/713781
[20:31] <alex_mayorga> What else should I provide?
