[02:36] <mactop_> hello :)
[02:37] <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
[02:38] <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)
[02:39] <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
[02:40] <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
[02:42] <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
[02:43] <bregma> the person you really want to talk to won't be around until Tuesday
[02:44] <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
[02:45] <mactop> they mfg dates were less than a month apart :/
[02:56] <mactop> new kernel install, bcm5974 dkms compiled cleanly, rebooting ...
[02:56] <mactop> installed*
[03:00] <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 ...
[03:01]  * mactop is confused :(
[03:02] <mactop> is there anyway to test if the touchpad is even be recognized ?
[03:02] <bregma> lsinput
[03:02] <bregma> sudo lsinput
[03:03] <mactop> so I ran that but couldn't really tell
[03:03] <mactop> sec, I'll show you
[03:06] <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)
[03:07] <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
[03:08] <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
[03:09] <bregma> quite possibly
[03:10] <mactop> http://paste.ubuntu.com/705241/
[03:10]  * mactop likes pastebinit but wishes there was a gistit
[03:10] <mactop> anyway, thanks

[08:16] <WebVisitor-9> Hallo
[08:18] <WebVisitor-9> can somebody refer to some tutorial, manual, where I can read about gesture masks ?
[08:19] <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
[08:24] <Satoris> Unfortunately there really is no documentation except the source code.
[08:28] <WebVisitor-9> OK, thanks
