[01:04] <noobish> last night I had s3tc GL extensions reported by glxinfo after installing libtxc-dxtn0 from edgers. Today I reboot and the extensions are not listed by glxinfo. ldconfig -p shows the library is found. Any ideas?
[01:09] <RAOF> noobish: Made any other changes?
[01:10] <noobish> just moved an export for LIBGL_DRIVERS_PATH from .profile to .bashrc
[01:12] <noobish> I did briefly install the i386 version of libtxc_dxtn.so to /usr/lib32 and run ldconfig. But I've since removed that and re-ldconfig'd
[01:15] <noobish> oo
[01:15] <noobish> there's an env var i forgot about
[01:16] <noobish> R600_ENABLE_S3TC=1
[01:17] <RAOF> What arch are you on, i386 or amd64?
[01:17] <noobish> amd64
[01:18] <noobish> exporting that var has glxinfo reporting the extensions now
[01:18] <noobish> But not when the 32bit version of glxinfo runs, so I'm now reinstalling the i386 version of the lib to lib32
[01:19] <RAOF> You might want to install it to /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu.  I think /usr/lib32 will work too, though.
[01:20] <noobish> hmm, i don't have that dir
[01:20] <noobish> just the x86_64-linux-gnu
[01:20] <noobish> i386 glxinfo reports the exts now too
[01:21] <noobish> this is on natty, so i think the edgers ppa is just bringing part of the multiarch changes over?
[01:21] <noobish> i know the x86_64-linux-gnu dir didn't exist before i added edgers
[01:29] <RAOF> Ah, yeah.  That'd be right.
[01:30] <noobish> Everything looks in order now but sadly this game, eve still complains about smader model 3 support lacking, grr
[01:30] <noobish> *shader
[01:32] <noobish> oo, i think my kernel is too old. 2.6.38
[01:55] <noobish> is drm-next in mainline the same as airlied's drm-radeon-testing branch?
[02:00] <noobish> off to test 2.6.39-020639rc4. Thanks for letting me sound ideas off you RAOF
[02:49] <RAOF> noobish: Why test 2.6.39?  The current development version is 3.1; Oneiric has 3.0 stable kernels.
[02:52] <noobish> Because 2.6.39 is the one that doesn't disable s3tc commands. I just didn't want to go too far not knowing what was stable and what was bleeding edge.
[02:52] <noobish> and what would require 11.10 instead of 11.04, etc
[14:44] <johanbr> Could someone please have a look at bug 582809? This makes Ubuntu essentially unusable for the 143 people listed as affected. There are patches available, but no fixes have been incorporated into the ubuntu synaptics package.

[14:50] <tjaalton> johanbr: what about it? there are no upstream-sanctioned patches available afaict
[15:14] <johanbr> tjaalton, right... the upstream effort seems stalled
[15:14] <johanbr> otoh, the patches that are available do work (unlike the unpatched driver)
