[21:17] <chilts> morning
[21:43] <hads> ajmitch: I don't think I'll be using two of these monitors so if you want the other let me know. It cost me ~$500.
[21:44] <ajmitch> hads: sounds appealing
[21:44] <ajmitch> how have you found the one you're keeping?
[21:45] <hads> I'm just sitting down to use it for an extended period for the first time today. It is really nice. I need to work out Nvidia driver issues though.
[21:45] <ajmitch> I'd have to check if my card can do dual-link DVI, but I'll probably replace that soon
[21:46] <ajmitch> but yes, I am interested in that other monitor
[21:46] <hads> Quite a shiny surface, more reflective than what I'm used to. The picture is impressive. No dodgy pixels, surroud isn't that bad looking.
[21:46] <ajmitch> what sort of driver issues are you running into?
[21:48] <hads> With the Nvidia driver installed X won't start. Using Nouvea I'm noticing micro freezes of the mouse every now and then.
[21:48] <ajmitch> odd
[21:49] <ajmitch> you'd been using the nvidia driver with no troubles up until now?
[21:49] <hads> Yes, was using Nvidia fine with HD resolution. There's a few reports around the 'net of Nvidia driver not handling this high resolution.
[21:51] <ajmitch> still it'd be worth a shot :)
[21:51] <hads> Looking at Xorg.0.log it seems Nouvea prints the modelines found. I might try stuffing that into xorg.conf and seeing if Nvidia will play ball.
[21:52] <ajmitch> hacking modelines, that seems so old now :)
[21:52] <hads> Indeed, we're so spoilt now with just plugging things in and expecting them to work. I've forgotten how to do so many of the things we used to have to just to get running.
[21:53] <ajmitch> now I get to do that same sort of fun trying to get linux working on a tablet
[21:54] <hads> With Nvidia driver installed I couldn't get X or a VT so had to SSH in and mess with it to get it going.
[21:55] <ajmitch> but nouveau just worked?
[21:55] <hads> Yup
[21:56] <ajmitch> interesting
[21:58] <hads> Will poke now.
[21:58] <ajmitch> how bad's shipping down from timaru? :)
[21:58] <ajmitch> I assume you're still there
[22:53] <hads> Sorry, was trying to get nvidia going then got distracted by visitors. Yes still in Timaru, shipping should be okay to Dunedin, probably $15 I think.
[22:58] <ajmitch> alright
[22:59] <ibeardslee> morning
[23:09] <hads> Seems the nvidia driver can't read the EDID for some reason. Nouvea doesn't have any trouble.
[23:10] <ajmitch> perhaps something that would be fixed in a later nvidia driver revision?
[23:12] <hads> Aha, this fixes it; Option "IgnoreEDIDChecksum" "DFP"
[23:12] <ajmitch> nice
[23:12] <hads> Removed all modelines and other guff, just need that one line.
[23:12] <ibeardslee> heh
[23:13] <ajmitch> it's odd that it'd have a bad checksum though
[23:13] <hads> I don't think it does, the nvidia driver just thinks it does.
[23:14] <ajmitch> now to see if you get the same microfreezes on nvidia as you did on nouveau
[23:15] <hads> Looks all smooth so far. Would have noticed by now I think.
[23:34] <hads> No freezes
