[09:43] <alkisg> Hi, is support for xvideo on s3virge supposed to be broken in 12.04, or could it be some bad configuration? It worked fine in 10.04...
[09:45] <alkisg> Xorg.7.log: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1183234/
[09:46] <alkisg> [    52.898] (WW) Warning, couldn't open module s3virge
[09:48] <alkisg> Do I need to manually install xserver-xorg-video-s3virge?
[11:35] <alkisg> Installing xserver-xorg-video-s3virge allowed my card to have xvideo. Any reason why it's not preinstalled like it was in previous versions?
[11:38] <tjaalton> alkisg: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-x/2011-May/001076.html
[11:38] <jcristau> something along the lines of: because it has about 5 users, no maintainer, and so is no longer in ubuntu main
[11:38] <tjaalton> -s3virge is now gone from the archive too, starting from quantal
[12:05] <alkisg> Thank you guys, so I _can_ put it in the Recommends: of my "greek-schools-installer" package (LTS only) without breaking anything
[12:05] <alkisg> We have more than 1000 of s3virge cards here, not sure about exact numbers though
[12:07] <tjaalton> stubborn machines ;)
[12:07] <alkisg> So far we had 10 year old PCs in schools... now with the crisis we're going to have 20 year old PCs in the future :D
[12:08] <tjaalton> :)
[13:51] <seb128> tjaalton, could you look at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/1032251 ?
[13:51] <seb128> tjaalton, is that a known issue?
[13:54] <tjaalton> seb128: 855GM, support for those older chips can be somewhat lacking, dunno if it's known elsewhere or not
[13:56] <seb128> tjaalton, ok, not something we should care too much about then? (I hate all those "eog freezes xorg" bugs, it's not cool when the image viewer can take your session down)
[13:58] <tjaalton> seb128: well, would be nice to know if it's fixed/broken with a more recent stack
[13:58] <seb128> tjaalton, can you ask on the bug? :-)
[13:59] <tjaalton> sure
[14:22] <apw> tjaalton, i am seeing some reports of validation failures in nouveau, suspicious its mesa passing in junk ... ring any bells ?
[14:23] <tjaalton> apw: huh, no.. wouldn't surprise me though, we've had plenty of issues since nvidia users were forced to use nouveau on quantal, before the blob worked
[14:24] <apw> so we are not recommending nouveau on quantal
[14:24] <tjaalton> but I've had no time to look at those bugs in more detail. I'm preparing a newer mesa snapshot atm
[14:24] <apw> tjaalton, sounds good with luck it will fix my issues and theirs :)
[14:24] <tjaalton> it probably has more issues on certain hw generations, my gf8600 was quite happy with it
[14:26] <tjaalton> apw: any bug reports out there?
[14:27] <apw> bug 1045077 is the one i was asked about
[14:32] <tjaalton> ugh, thanks
[14:43] <tjaalton> libdrm 2.4.39 uploaded, prereq for the newer mesa snapshot..
[17:35] <Lee_Sharp> Anyone her with time for a sanity check?
[17:38] <Lee_Sharp> Must be a holiday.  I spelled "here" wrong... :)
