RAOFGood morning!06:25
mlankhorstI'm looking into nouveau vblank thing, seems the problem is on newer cards we don't get the vblank interrupts yet :o06:54
mlankhorstBut it's fun, basically invalid card mathods used to generate interrupts, and those interrupts are used to implement software calls.06:58
mlankhorstRAOF: oh yeah, the fun of conflicting version names :-)07:27
mlankhorstRAOF: shouldn't fakesyncs be named -fakesync1 ?07:27
RAOFAs far as I'm aware there's no automation on that.07:28
mlankhorstshrug, ok :)07:29
RAOFmlankhorst: Incidentally, I'm going to be amending the version numbers of all the X stuff to -0ubuntu1 rather than -1; we're not syncing from released Debian packages, and things would go badly if Debian ended up pushing a slightly different -1 ;)07:55
mlankhorstsure07:56
RAOFMan the DDXen have *so many* compiler warnings :(07:57
mlankhorstindeed, it's horrid07:57
mlankhorstRAOF: want the patch to make geode compile on new X? I don't think it's in debian version control anywhere so just grab current git and apply the debian tree on top07:58
RAOFmlankhorst: I'll build all the drivers I care about first, and check that it minimally works. Then I'll go to drivers noone cares about :)07:59
mlankhorstRAOF: well it's part of xorg-video-all so some care08:00
RAOFYeah, we won't be pushing out of -proposed until video-all is installable.08:00
jcristauwe should trim down video-all.08:01
RAOFBut I can at least check that ati, intel, and nouveau provide a working server first.08:01
mlankhorstit will be installable with the changes, but geode should be gone from video-all and maybe pushed to universe08:01
jcristauto like intel+ati+nouveau+modesetting+vesa+fbdev08:01
mlankhorstand video-all might need to be renamed to video-base08:01
mlankhorstjcristau: udl too08:01
jcristauleio was talking about fixing up geode i think08:02
mlankhorstok :)08:02
mlankhorstwell my patches are on the mailing list08:02
RAOFThe next -ati release will really, really be 7.0.0, right?08:05
jcristaui should certainly think so, given 'drop ums' landed08:06
mlankhorstRAOF: yes08:06
mlankhorstthat's the reason I needed git, to pick up the ums patches08:06
* RAOF is just hoping to ensure the *next* upload of -ati isn't 6.99.99+is.really.goddamnit.something.else08:07
mlankhorstmight still happen :P08:07
mlankhorstcouldn't you just upload it as 6.999~somegit then?08:07
mlankhorst:D08:07
mlankhorstwe shall just append more 9s to make08:08
mlankhorstup*08:08
mlankhorstRAOF: http://people.canonical.com/~mlankhorst/xf86-video-geode.tar.gz git tree + debian directory inside to build08:09
mlankhorstI have only verified it builds, I can pretty much guarantee it's broken until someone fixes exa acceleration08:12
jcristauhopefully leio can fix that :)08:13

Prf_JakobRAOF: you are the one working on Wayland in 12.10 right?18:02
Prf_JakobWhats the story there with hardware that doesn't support 3D?18:02
RAOFPrf_Jakob: Hardware that doesn't support 3D won't get the system compositor; it'll look exactly as it does today.23:16
mlankhorstRAOF: got vblank working on nouveau today, but might have to start over after nouveau changes again ;s23:16
Prf_JakobRAOF: ok23:16
RAOFmlankhorst: At least you know what to do now :)23:17
RAOFPrf_Jakob: Over time the system compositor path will gain features that the non-composited path doesn't, but as long as the nvidia and fglrx drivers are important the non-composited path isn't going away.23:17
Prf_JakobRAOF: ok23:18
mlankhorstRAOF: yeah have to do the prime stuff over as well due to the kernel rework, but i could have expected that23:18
RAOFWe'll also possibly want a cut-down, software only “compositor” at some point; that's entirely possible.23:18
RAOFPrf_Jakob: We should be able to do egl+kms on vmwgfx at some point though, right?23:22
Prf_Jakobyes23:26
Prf_JakobI think right now, I just haven't tested it.23:26
RAOFI should probably test that, shouldn't I :)23:28
Prf_JakobAlso 3D might not be enabled.23:28
RAOFThat would make it a little bit more difficult to test :)23:29
Prf_JakobWell its a VM option.23:30
