| tjaalton | RAOF: hey, opinions on bug 652467 before I decline it? | 22:39 |
| ubot4 | Launchpad bug 652467 in xorg (Ubuntu) "xerver-xorg-video-ati dependancies need changing (affects: 1) (heat: 28)" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/652467 | 22:39 |
| tjaalton | 1) is not possible, -ati is just a wrapper | 22:39 |
| tjaalton | 2) would mean (AIUI) bigger static mappings to the server, which is pointless | 22:40 |
| tjaalton | 3) then reveals the true nature of the bug (micro-management), so it's just silly | 22:40 |
| tjaalton | mach and r128 add 400kB to the install | 22:40 |
| tjaalton | in total | 22:41 |
| RAOF | Yeah. I don't think that's worth doing. | 22:41 |
| tjaalton | thanks, I'll close it as wontfix | 22:41 |
| RAOF | That micro-management *is* possible, too - it just requries an xorg.conf | 22:43 |
| tjaalton | yeah | 22:43 |
| RAOF | Hm. Is there any reason we shouldn't follow Debian in removing a bunch of unmaintained drivers from the archive? | 22:45 |
| tjaalton | no | 22:45 |
| tjaalton | there was some talk about it on #debian-x earlier today | 22:45 |
| tjaalton | I've yet to re-joing the ml so haven't been following what's going on there | 22:46 |
| RAOF | The list of removed drivers is: xserver-xorg-video-v4l, xserver-xorg-video-radeonhd, xserver-xorg-video-nv, xserver-xorg-input-hyperpen, xserver-xorg-input-fpit, xserver-xorg-input-evtouch, xserver-xorg-input-citron | 22:48 |
| tjaalton | all good to go | 22:49 |
| RAOF | I think the only one we might possibly want out of that is -nv. | 22:49 |
| tjaalton | :) | 22:49 |
| RAOF | Heh. We're well ahead on -citron. | 22:49 |
| tjaalton | right, I'm not quite uptodate on that, at some point nouveau didn't support all of -nv | 22:49 |
| tjaalton | but I guess the devices in question are either very rare or old, or both | 22:50 |
| RAOF | I think TNT and riva128 cards aren't supported by nouveau, and nv supports at least one of them. | 22:50 |
| RAOF | Of course, so does -vesa :) | 22:50 |
| tjaalton | heh, right | 22:50 |
| RAOF | We should also remove -gevdev, since the gestures stuff is in evdev now. | 22:50 |
| RAOF | Also, it's uninstallable :) | 22:51 |
| tjaalton | I've so much to catch on.. | 22:51 |
| tjaalton | +up | 22:51 |
| RAOF | :) | 22:51 |
| RAOF | Managed to get all the adminy stuff out of the way yet? | 22:52 |
| tjaalton | most of it yeah | 22:52 |
| tjaalton | i hope | 22:52 |
| RAOF | There'll be some lingering tentacles :) | 22:53 |
| tjaalton | I bet.. | 22:53 |
| RAOF | tjaalton: Incidentally, are you subscribed to mesa-dev? If so, have you seen my dricore patches appear there? | 23:37 |
| RAOF | They seem to have made it to the mailing list archives, but I'd just like to be sure, given the lack of response. | 23:38 |
| tjaalton | RAOF: when did you send them? | 23:41 |
| tjaalton | I only have the archive since Jan 31st | 23:42 |
| tjaalton | ah got it | 23:42 |
| tjaalton | v3 | 23:42 |
| RAOF | Yeah, there it is. | 23:43 |
| RAOF | Actually, that seems to have only been Thursday. I thought it was longer. | 23:43 |
| tjaalton | doesn't fedora have something similar? you could try poking ajax/airlied to review and ack | 23:43 |
| RAOF | Fedora had something similar in the dim distant past. I might start prodding soon, yeah. | 23:44 |
| tjaalton | are gallium drivers smaller than the classic ones (one could assume so..)? | 23:45 |
| RAOF | They're actually of comparable size. | 23:45 |
| tjaalton | ah, ok | 23:45 |
| RAOF | But it's more of a pain to make a dricore for gallium. | 23:46 |
| RAOF | Quite a lot more of a pain, and we only install 2 gallium drivers. | 23:46 |
| tjaalton | yeah now that I think of it the shared parts are probably built in the drivers? | 23:47 |
| tjaalton | just like before, only that the code is more modular | 23:48 |
| tjaalton | or the functionality | 23:48 |
| tjaalton | bah, too late to function myself :) | 23:48 |
| RAOF | mesa, and gallium even more, create a whole bunch of static libraries which the dri drivers link in. That's why each DRI driver goes from ~3MiB to ~400KiB when you factor out dricore. | 23:48 |
| tjaalton | yeah | 23:50 |
| RAOF | If I wanted to be really invasive I could do better, but the patch as written is, I think, the sweetspot for time spent/size opimisation. | 23:50 |
