| rohan | hi.. can someone here help me build a debian of the latest nvidia driver? | 01:32 |
|---|---|---|
| rohan | i have to test something for the bumblebee devs | 01:32 |
| bjsnider | rohan, i'll be sending that into x-updates pretty soon | 01:34 |
| bjsnider | you can just copy it | 01:34 |
| rohan | bjsnider: oh awesome :) | 01:35 |
| rohan | i'll wait for a heads up from you then | 01:35 |
| rohan | i have x-updates repo enabled | 01:35 |
| rohan | i want to enable palm detection for my synaptics touchpad | 02:06 |
| rohan | what is the correct place to put the config? | 02:06 |
| rohan | /user/share/X11/xorg.conf.d ? | 02:06 |
| rohan | or /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d? | 02:06 |
| RAOF | Or /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 02:08 |
| rohan | RAOF: but what is the preferred location? | 02:09 |
| RAOF | Anywhere under /etc/ is fine; xorg.conf is simple. | 02:09 |
| rohan | i read the man page, but i am not too clear -- is /etc/X11/xorg.conf read first, and then the files under xorg.conf.d and in /etc/ and /usr? | 02:13 |
| RAOF | /etc/X11/xorg.conf is authoritative; anything in there overrides everything else. | 02:19 |
| rohan | yes, but is it mutually exclusive? | 02:19 |
| RAOF | Other than that /usr/share/xorg.conf.d is overridden by /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d | 02:19 |
| rohan | guess i'll just have to try | 02:19 |
| RAOF | Oh, in case I wasn't clear: Anything in /etc/X11/xorg.conf overrides anything in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d, which overrides anything in /usr/share/xorg.conf.d. | 02:22 |
| RAOF | So xorg.conf → etc/xorg.conf.d → usr/xorg.conf.d is the priority order. Sticking your configuration in /etc/X11/xorg.conf is perfectly reasonable. | 02:23 |
| rohan | so just 3 lines having an inputclass and identifier, and endsection, is enough, right? | 02:25 |
| rohan | or do i need to put in a prototype xorg.conf which has sections for monitor, graphics card, etc? | 02:25 |
| Sarvatt | rohan: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1041775/ as /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 02:30 |
| rohan | thank you so much! Sarvatt | 02:32 |
| Sarvatt | rohan: may be easier to just install gpointing-device-settings | 02:35 |
| rohan | oh but that's a gnome thing right.. i tried finding the same setting in kubuntu ksynaptics | 02:36 |
| rohan | but no luck | 02:36 |
| Sarvatt | many more synaptics options in there than the gnome touchpad settings | 02:36 |
| rohan | i guess i'll install that utility | 02:36 |
| Sarvatt | oh gotcha | 02:36 |
| Sarvatt | yeah not sure about synaptiks | 02:36 |
| rohan | yeah i hate how gnome thinks i want to scroll only by using edge or two finger .. no way to enable both | 02:37 |
| Sarvatt | the guis are all lacking, doesn't help possible synaptics touchpad settings change all the time :( synaptiks in kde is broken with what will be xf86-input-synaptics 1.7 because things were removed | 02:39 |
| rohan | ah i see | 02:44 |
| rohan | are they expected to have a stable interface? | 02:45 |
| Sarvatt | well synaptiks was just unconditionally expecting options to exist, but the huge amount of untested options were making the synaptics driver unmaintainable so they were removed by the maintainer (stuff like circular touchpad support that was only ever used on one laptop 8 years ago) | 02:48 |
| Sarvatt | bug #1002736 may be a problem in kde in 12.10 | 02:48 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 1002736 in synaptiks (Ubuntu) "[xorg-edgers] Synaptics driver crashes KDE touchpad control module" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1002736 | 02:48 |
| bjsnider | what is bumblebee again? | 02:55 |
| rohan | it supports hybrid graphic switching on linux | 02:56 |
| rohan | http://bumblebee-project.org/ | 02:56 |
| rohan | which i currently can't use because nvidia 295.53 doesn't support my card [gt 640m le] | 02:57 |

| tjaalton | bryceh: please push your xkb-data changes to git :) | 07:56 |
| mlankhorst | morning | 08:51 |
| RAOF | Good morning! | 09:05 |
| RAOF | Woot! We have a functioning system-compositor-scratchpad! | 09:29 |
| tjaalton | what's that? | 09:30 |
| mlankhorst | i dont know, but we have it | 09:31 |
| tjaalton | woot! | 09:31 |
| tjaalton | :) | 09:31 |
| tjaalton | bryceh: thanks :) | 09:43 |
| mlankhorst | i get to debug firmware some more, figure out why accel isn't working on d9 | 09:53 |
| seb128 | hum | 11:02 |
| seb128 | Xephyr segfaults for me on precise :-( | 11:02 |
| seb128 | Backtrace: | 11:03 |
| seb128 | 0: Xephyr (xorg_backtrace+0x37) [0xe3a107] | 11:03 |
| seb128 | 1: Xephyr (0xc9b000+0x1a2e8a) [0xe3de8a] | 11:03 |
| seb128 | 2: (vdso) (__kernel_rt_sigreturn+0x0) [0xf3640c] | 11:03 |
| mlankhorst | sweet, pandaboard arrived | 13:26 |
| bjsnider | RAOF, you're on phoronix's front page again. i guess all the work you do is going to be big news from now on | 13:53 |
| Sarvatt | Prf_Jakob: vmware.h needs an #include "compat-api.h" also after the port to the new compat API change | 15:42 |
| Sarvatt | ../../src/vmware.h:180:5: warning: implicit declaration of function 'xf86ScreenToScrn' [-Wimplicit-function-declaration] | 15:42 |
| Sarvatt | ../../src/vmware.h:180:5: warning: nested extern declaration of 'xf86ScreenToScrn' [-Wnested-externs] | 15:42 |
| Sarvatt | ../../src/vmware.h:180:5: warning: return makes pointer from integer without a cast [enabled by default] | 15:42 |
| Sarvatt | Function `xf86ScreenToScrn' implicitly converted to pointer at ../../src/vmware.h:180 | 15:42 |
| Sarvatt | ubuntu buildds wont allow the upload on amd64 with that, adding the include fixes it | 15:43 |
| Sarvatt | sent it to xorg-devel at any rate | 15:57 |
| Prf_Jakob | Sarvatt: | 16:47 |
| Prf_Jakob | thanks | 16:47 |
| Prf_Jakob | Sarvatt: pushed | 18:41 |
| Prf_Jakob | Thanks again | 18:41 |
| mlankhorst | bryceh: i love how i can tell blob arm drivers work because of graphical glitches :) | 20:49 |
| bryceh | mlankhorst, :-) | 21:08 |
