[01:07] hi === amorphous1 is now known as amorphous-UDS-Ta === amorphous-UDS-Ta is now known as amorphous-Tas === cmagina is now known as cmagina-uds === yofel_ is now known as yofel === dimmortal1 is now known as dimmortal === _LibertyZero is now known as LibertyZero === shadeslayer_ is now known as shadeslayer === cmagina-afk is now known as cmagina-uds === cmagina-afk is now known as cmagina-uds === fairuz is now known as fairuz_away === cmagina-afk is now known as cmagina-uds [17:46] question for ACPI people: do I understand correctly that a kernel driver can read any of the fields in the DSDT, by calling acpi_evaluate_integer(device, field_path, NULL, &result) ? [17:47] I'm asking because I see that that function is only use to invoke ACPI methods === mirsal_ is now known as mirsal [19:54] Hi all, does a tickless kernel (CONFIG_NO_HZ=y) effected by CONFIG_HZ_###? [20:09] Viral: Yes, CONFIG_HZ provides the length of a timer tick while code is running [20:31] uhh, is there something up with the git repos : kernel.ubuntu.com[0: 91.189.94.216]: errno=Connection refused [20:31] locally and remotely === lifeless_ is now known as lifeless [23:02] git://kernel.ubuntu.com/ appears to be down? === yofel_ is now known as yofel [23:31] ali1234: yes, git://kernel.ubuntu.com/ does appear to be down. I'll report the issue to Canonical information services. [23:31] thanks [23:37] since i'm here i might as well ask this question, which is the reason why i need kernel git and not just headers [23:38] i'm working on a driver for logitech keyboards with built in LCD display [23:38] i can build the driver out of tree OK [23:38] but i need to add the USB IDs to the hid blacklist in order for my driver to work, otherwise the standard hid module takes over the device [23:39] patching the hid blacklist requires rebuilding the hid.ko, which needs full kernel source [23:39] so is there a way around this? [23:40] i looked at using kernel bind through sysfs but i couldn't figure out how to use it with hid drivers [23:42] ali1234: sorry, can't help you there, but ... [23:42] I'm happy to report that Canonical IS has fixed git://kernel.ubuntu.com/ for us [23:42] there's also an easy 50 rep on stack exchange if anyone knows the answer: http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/12005/how-to-use-linux-kernel-driver-bind-unbind-interface-for-usb-hid-devices [23:42] kamal: excellent, thanks [23:42] ali1234: glad to help
