| RAOF | thopiekar: I'm not entirely sure what you're trying to do, or what the actual problem is. Pastebinning the complete error message is generally useful. | 00:16 |
|---|---|---|
| thopiekar | RAOF: got it now working.. I want to build Xorg 1.9 with ABI 8 on natty.. | 00:17 |
| thopiekar | basicly a downgrade for emgd drivers.. | 00:17 |
| thopiekar | see ppa:thopiekar/emgd | 00:17 |
| thopiekar | I still needed to downgrade libxi and some other x11proto packages.. | 00:18 |
| thopiekar | xorg-server will follow when the deps I uploaded are built | 00:18 |
| RAOF | Ah, right. | 00:18 |
| RAOF | Yeah, to actually install xorg 1.9 you'll need to rebuild all the drivers. | 00:19 |
| thopiekar | sure worked well, too. I set as version xorg-server-dev (uploaded version) as dep for the drivers.. | 00:20 |
| thopiekar | finally I'll add a meta-package keeping these packages from upgrading to nattys packages.. | 00:21 |
| thopiekar | here Xorg 1.10 with ABI 10 | 00:21 |

| soren | Are these USB<->VGA things supposed to "just work"? | 12:48 |

| RAOF | soren: No, in *so* many ways. | 13:01 |
| RAOF | soren: The kernel DRM doesn't know about them, and until recently didn't accept anything not hanging off something which looks sufficiently like a PCI bus (although Dave Airlied has done some work here) and X doesn't know how to probe USB devices. An xorg.conf is mandatory. | 13:02 |
| soren | RAOF: ..but it can be made to work? | 13:08 |
| soren | RAOF: I mean, without writing a driver myself :) | 13:08 |
| RAOF | soren: In theory, yes. | 13:08 |
| soren | I have a Lenovo USB port replicator with a DVI output on it. I'm trying to work out which driver it's supposed to work with. | 13:09 |
| RAOF | Maybe displaylink? | 13:10 |
| RAOF | But it's entirely possible that the Lenovo USB port thingy doesn't currently have a driver, actually. All USB video devices are not necessarily the same. | 13:11 |
| soren | RAOF: Darn it. I went with the Lenovo in spite of the lacking details on chipsets, because Lenovo stuff tends to be very well supported. | 13:12 |
| RAOF | Does it only plug into USB, or does it plug into the docking port thingy? Presumably you've tried just plugging it in and seeing if it works? :) | 13:13 |
| soren | Just USB. | 13:15 |
| soren | ...and yeah, just plugging it in doesn't do much (in terms of video). | 13:15 |
| soren | at all. | 13:15 |
| soren | Oh, well.. I guess I could use another door stop. | 13:18 |
| RAOF | :/ | 13:20 |
| RAOF | There either might already be a driver or it might be easy to modify an one to work. | 13:21 |
| soren | Smells like something that needs both time *and* motivation. Two scarce resources. | 13:22 |
| RAOF | Yup. | 13:26 |
| RAOF | Googling for whatever chipset's on the other end of the USB tree might yield a low investment reward. | 13:26 |
| soren | RAOF: Information seems very, very limited. | 13:47 |
| soren | 17ef:3033 is the USB id of the port replicator. http://paste.ubuntu.com/602251/ | 13:47 |
| soren | search for "USB Video". | 13:48 |
| soren | Ok, since I declared it a door stop anyway, I decided to void the warranty and take the thing apart to find out which chip is in it. | 14:00 |
| soren | Silicon image 164ctg64 | 14:04 |
| tjaalton | try setting up the -sisusb driver | 14:06 |
| soren | tjaalton: I tried. It just said it didn't find any supported device, but I guess that could just mean it didn't recognize the USB vendor/product. | 14:07 |
| soren | Hm.... /me treis | 14:10 |
| soren | tries, even | 14:10 |
| tjaalton | is sisusbvga module loaded? | 14:10 |
| tjaalton | +kernel | 14:10 |
