| bjsnider | gord, how much faster is the general usage with sna? | 03:43 |
|---|---|---|
| LLStarks | saarvatt, check the experimental gallium package. it doesn't automatically overwrite the 915 .so file upon installation anymore. | 19:54 |
| LLStarks | ack sarvatt | 19:54 |
| Sarvatt | LLStarks: it never did, it installs it to /usr/lib/dri-alternates/i915_dri.so which is in the dri searchpath before /usr/lib/dri and empty unless libgl1-mesa-dri-experimental is installed | 19:56 |
| LLStarks | i swear it did at one point | 19:57 |
| LLStarks | whatever | 19:57 |
| LLStarks | thanks | 19:57 |
| Sarvatt | lool: hey I missed your message until now. I can't upload it (the other was sponsored), please do upload it :) | 20:28 |
| Sarvatt | it does look like a good idea to me | 20:29 |

| ksni | is this a support or development channel? | 22:58 |
| ksni | the topic doesn't tell much | 22:58 |
| ksni | ping. | 22:59 |
| highvoltage | ksni: don't you think it will just be more efficient to ask your question rather than just make a contentless ping? | 23:00 |
| bryceh | ksni, development | 23:01 |
| ksni | not really, if the question is complex enough | 23:01 |

| ksni | anyway, my Ubuntu installation on a hard drive, which I recently migrated to a desktop PC, thinks it's still in my laptop and shows the laptop monitor in the configuration screen. how do I get it to move on? | 23:08 |
| ksni | along witht the currently connected monitor | 23:09 |
| bryce | rm ~/.config/monitors.xml | 23:11 |
| bryce | ksni, and that's not a development question | 23:11 |
| ksni | I know, but I didn't get any response from #ubuntu until I asked "is anyone here?" after 10 minutes of typing long questions | 23:13 |
| bryce | ksni, your penance can be answering 3 other people's question on #ubuntu then ;-) | 23:16 |
| ksni | okay | 23:17 |
| ksni | but this case first | 23:17 |
| bryce | ksni, did you rm ~/.config/monitors.xml ? | 23:18 |
| ksni | yes, where should I see change? | 23:18 |
| ksni | GNOME display configuration box still "detects" the ghost laptop screen | 23:19 |
| bryce | you may have to restart the tool | 23:21 |
| ksni | I'm using the graphics thing integrated in a Intel D510MO motherboard | 23:21 |
| bryce | ksni, beyond this I need to see Xorg.0.log from you | 23:21 |
| ksni | http://paste.servut.us/plain/iyg5 | 23:23 |
| bryce | ah, one of those laptop mboards upsized to desktop | 23:26 |
| bryce | ksni, yeah, common issue for this type of motherboard. you can try fixing it in X via this - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Quirks#Ignore%20LVDS%20Output%20Quirk, however it's really a kernel bug | 23:28 |
| bryce | so for a real fix this is needed: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Quirks#Intel%20Phantom%20LVDS%20Quirks:%20i915/intel_lvds.c | 23:28 |
| ksni | okay, thanks for this | 23:28 |
| bryce | the former may only work with KMS turned off, which you can't do anymore with -intel, so YMMV. That'd be the easiest workaround. | 23:29 |
| bryce | ksni, regardless of whether the config option works or not, what you need to do is file a bug against the kernel (ubuntu-bug linux) requesting that LVDS be quirked off for your motherboard. Point to the second link I gave you. Contact apw who is one of the kernel developers that hacks on graphics stuff. | 23:31 |
| bryce | if the config option works, you can use that as a workaround. Another possible workaround is to turn it off using the 'xrandr' command line tool | 23:32 |
| bryce | xrandr --output LVDS1 --off (see man xrandr for more info) | 23:32 |
| bryce | however I think that's pretty much the same as the gui tool so YMMV there. | 23:33 |
| ksni | sure, but... | 23:35 |
| ksni | Ubuntu uses udev for auto-detecting graphics units and HIDs, does it not? do I lose the automatic detection of changes in hardware by creating /etc/X11/xorg.conf? | 23:38 |
| ksni | anyway, thanks for your time | 23:45 |
