| mactop_ | hello :) | 02:36 |
|---|---|---|
| bregma | hey what's up? | 02:37 |
| mactop_ | MT doesn't work for me on new MBP 8,3 :( | 02:37 |
| mactop_ | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro8-1/Natty claims it just works out of the box | 02:37 |
| bregma | those nutty Apple guys are always changing the hardware on those things | 02:37 |
| mactop_ | I know | 02:37 |
| bregma | youare running natty? | 02:38 |
| mactop_ | (BTW that 8,1 link lists 8,1 8,2 and 8,3 as working) | 02:38 |
| mactop_ | yes | 02:38 |
| mactop_ | 11.04 natty (previously xubuntu, currently ubuntu) | 02:38 |
| bregma | all I can suggest is upgrading the kernel (to the oneiric one) | 02:38 |
| mactop_ | this is a clean install, new laptop | 02:39 |
| mactop_ | any particular version? | 02:39 |
| bregma | hrm | 02:39 |
| bregma | the latest one is 3.0.0-12 | 02:39 |
| mactop_ | is there a repo I should add to apt or just compile from scratch? | 02:40 |
| bregma | I know the guy who write the MBP MT driver bought a new device, same model as his old one, and tyhe new one didn't work | 02:40 |
| bregma | I'm running oneiric, I doenloaded my kernel from archive.ubuntu.com oneiric/main | 02:42 |
| bregma | there are kernel edger repos, but I've had less luck with them | 02:42 |
| bregma | the person you really want to talk to won't be around until Tuesday | 02:43 |
| mactop | bregma: thanks, I'll try a newer kernel | 02:44 |
| bregma | it's worth a try | 02:44 |
| bregma | there are plenty of other MT device bug fixes i the newer kernels | 02:44 |
| mactop | FWIW this is a replacement to one that died a couple of days ago and it had all the CD install issues where the previous one didn't | 02:44 |
| mactop | they mfg dates were less than a month apart :/ | 02:45 |
| mactop | new kernel install, bcm5974 dkms compiled cleanly, rebooting ... | 02:56 |
| mactop | installed* | 02:56 |
| bregma | welcome back | 03:00 |
| mactop | thanks | 03:00 |
| mactop | I have a new kernel now, but still not MT of *any* kind | 03:00 |
| mactop | no touchpad tab on the mouse properties, not gestures, tap clicks, two/three finger scrolls ... | 03:00 |
| * mactop is confused :( | 03:01 | |
| mactop | is there anyway to test if the touchpad is even be recognized ? | 03:02 |
| bregma | lsinput | 03:02 |
| bregma | sudo lsinput | 03:02 |
| mactop | so I ran that but couldn't really tell | 03:03 |
| mactop | sec, I'll show you | 03:03 |
| mactop | heh, well this kind of sucks (I can't copy anything from a shell to put in gist to show you) | 03:06 |
| mactop | (because macs don't have more than one button) | 03:06 |
| mactop | anyway, there is an emulated mouse and the apple keyboard shows up twice under two different /dev/eventX paths | 03:07 |
| mactop | nothing else in there is relevant | 03:07 |
| bregma | as an aside, you could use the program pastebinit to redirect output to pastebin | 03:08 |
| bregma | but alas, I don;t think I can offer much more assistance at this point | 03:08 |
| mactop | I suspect, but please correct me if I'm wrong, that the the emulated mouse entry (which I confirmed was connected to the touchpad) means that it is not properly setup | 03:08 |
| bregma | quite possibly | 03:09 |
| mactop | http://paste.ubuntu.com/705241/ | 03:10 |
| * mactop likes pastebinit but wishes there was a gistit | 03:10 | |
| mactop | anyway, thanks | 03:10 |

| WebVisitor-9 | Hallo | 08:16 |
| WebVisitor-9 | can somebody refer to some tutorial, manual, where I can read about gesture masks ? | 08:18 |
| WebVisitor-9 | I'm running following command /grail-gesture 0 /dev/input/event7 and getting banch of data back | 08:19 |
| WebVisitor-9 | but cannot really understand the meaning of gesture masks | 08:19 |
| Satoris | Unfortunately there really is no documentation except the source code. | 08:24 |
| WebVisitor-9 | OK, thanks | 08:28 |
