AElfwinehello03:17
AElfwinedoes anyone know if mesa 7.11 will be packaged on ppa x-updates for natty?03:17
RAOFI don't plan to, and I don't know of anyone who does.03:20
RAOFIf someone wanted to do the work, I guess.03:21
AElfwineok thanks03:22
RAOFOh, poulsbo.  Must you be so hateful?06:14
tjaaltonleave it alone?-)06:18
RAOFBug #815000 prevents me from properly leaving it alone.06:29
ubot4Launchpad bug 815000 in xorg (Ubuntu) "Oneiric X/LightDM doesn't start on an Intel GMA500 (affects: 1) (heat: 410)" [Undecided,Incomplete] https://launchpad.net/bugs/81500006:29
tjaaltonah :)06:34
tjaaltonso not even fbdev works with it06:35
RAOFWhich is odd, 'cause the staging psb driver is a kms driver.06:40
tjaaltonright06:58
bjsniderricotz, all of a sudden i don't have to type a password to install updates. is this some change that came in through the gnome 3 ppa?13:04
diverse_izzueso this sandybridge new acceleration SNA that phoronix is talking about... is it active in oneiric? or if not, can i activate it?17:59
Duke`it is active in xorg-edgers17:59
* Duke` is having some troubles with it ;_;18:00
diverse_izzueso plan for oneiric is to leave it disabled?18:00
diverse_izzueis it a compile-time option?18:00
Sarvattdiverse_izzue: yep disabled in oneiric (and 12.04 most likely because of that), it is a compile time option18:01
diverse_izzuewouldn't the release before 12.04 be the time to go wild for the last time? :-)18:03
Sarvattthats what I was saying, but intel strongly recommended not doing it18:05
diverse_izzueoh... well, they would probably know18:06
Sarvattgot the impression they have some other plans for it, like scrapping it18:06
diverse_izzuetime will show18:06
diverse_izzuehow about providing it as an *-experimental package, as fedora has been doing for unstable graphics drivers?18:08
SarvattI think RAOF already did that, not sure what his plans are with it though. he's going to be on in a few hours18:09
Sarvatt(like 4-5 hours I think)18:09

RAOFSarvatt: Yeah.  I was taklking with ickle and keithp, and they were both strongly on the side of UXA in LTS.  They don't plan to have a flag-day where SNA becomes the default; ideas might migrate through to UXA, though.22:40
RAOFSarvatt: If you wanted to build both SNA and UXA in edgers I have done essentially all the work needed to make that happen.22:40
SarvattRAOF: oh? hate to fork the packaging but that sounds worthwhile while there are unity specific problems that wont get fixed :P22:42
RAOFLet me just check that it actually does what I remember, then I'll push it somewhere public for you.22:44
RAOFIt ends up building two DDXs - intel and intelsna22:44
Sarvattsame source package though? sounds good to me22:45
SarvattRAOF: no rush if you dont have it handy, i'm super swamped doing lucid backport stuff22:46
RAOFYeah, same source package.22:46
bjsniderthey want their DDX to use UXA instead of SNA in an LTS?23:25
RAOFbjsnider: Yes.  They plan to avoid a messy UXA→SNA transition like the EXA→UXA transition, so there's no benefit in shipping a separate SNA driver.23:29
bjsnideri was just innocently making fun of your excessive use of acronyms23:30
bjsniderBTW, you should probably add that SNA info to the FAQ for the LTS23:32
