[03:43] <bjsnider> gord, how much faster is the general usage with sna?
[19:54] <LLStarks> saarvatt, check the experimental gallium package. it doesn't automatically overwrite the 915 .so file upon installation anymore.
[19:54] <LLStarks> ack sarvatt
[19:56] <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
[19:57] <LLStarks> i swear it did at one point
[19:57] <LLStarks> whatever
[19:57] <LLStarks> thanks
[20:28] <Sarvatt> lool: hey I missed your message until now. I can't upload it (the other was sponsored), please do upload it :)
[20:29] <Sarvatt> it does look like a good idea to me
[22:58] <ksni> is this a support or development channel?
[22:58] <ksni> the topic doesn't tell much
[22:59] <ksni> ping.
[23:00] <highvoltage> ksni: don't you think it will just be more efficient to ask your question rather than just make a contentless ping?
[23:01] <bryceh> ksni, development
[23:01] <ksni> not really, if the question is complex enough
[23:08] <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?
[23:09] <ksni> along witht the currently connected monitor
[23:11] <bryce> rm ~/.config/monitors.xml
[23:11] <bryce> ksni, and that's not a development question
[23:13] <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
[23:16] <bryce> ksni, your penance can be answering 3 other people's question on #ubuntu then ;-)
[23:17] <ksni> okay
[23:17] <ksni> but this case first
[23:18] <bryce> ksni, did you rm ~/.config/monitors.xml ?
[23:18] <ksni> yes, where should I see change?
[23:19] <ksni> GNOME display configuration box still "detects" the ghost laptop screen
[23:21] <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
[23:23] <ksni> http://paste.servut.us/plain/iyg5
[23:26] <bryce> ah, one of those laptop mboards upsized to desktop
[23:28] <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
[23:29] <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.
[23:31] <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.
[23:32] <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)
[23:33] <bryce> however I think that's pretty much the same as the gui tool so YMMV there.
[23:35] <ksni> sure, but...
[23:38] <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?
[23:45] <ksni> anyway, thanks for your time
