ogra_rsalveti, http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=MTE4MjI09:36
ogra_what a collection of utter unresearched nonsense09:37
lilstevieogra_, I thought the problem was that LLVMpipe didn't work on arm, not that it had poor performance09:52
ogra_lilstevie, well, you have a fast mouose on top of a slideshow09:53
ogra_:)09:53
lilstevielol09:53
lilstevieis that due to a bug though, or the cpu not being able to keep up09:54
ogra_it is due to non existing code for arm09:58
ogra_it simply falls back to swrast09:58
lilstevieah10:02
lilstevieso yeah, not a performance issue as much as lack of support in the software itself10:02
ogra_right10:04
lilsteviewell that seems fair enough then :p10:05
lilsteviedo you know if the tegra r16 drivers have that bug with unity fixed?10:05
ogra_lilstevie, i dont have a proper kernel yet (waiting on janimo and marvin24 here)10:31
ogra_and i dont want to trash my current 12.04 install with non packaged kernels10:31
ogra_(12.10 wont work for r16 anyway ... (ABI 13 isnt supported))10:32
marvin24lilstevie: r16 fails alltogether here10:33
marvin24some strange symlink problem10:33
marvin24and even if I force load the libraries, no gles output is rendered10:34
ogra_device permissions  ?10:34
ogra_they might have changed10:34
marvin24no, driver problem10:34
ogra_k10:34
marvin24it says something like "too few shaders to compile"10:34
marvin24even with es2gears10:35
ogra_GL libs issue ?10:35
ogra_did you have the r15 package installed before ?10:35
marvin24yes10:35
ogra_might be that the alternatives point to the r15 stuff10:35
ogra_uninstall it10:35
marvin24the stange thing was, that even the ld path was correct, it didn't found the libs10:36
marvin24r15 and r16 are in the same dir10:36
marvin24I just copied them over10:36
ogra_hmm10:36
marvin24(and killed what was leftover from r15)10:36
marvin24srwarren said something about es2_info using the wrong libs and needs to be recompiled10:37
ogra_huh ?10:37
marvin24sorry, I don't understand what the problem is10:37
marvin24the nv libs have no version10:37
ogra_thats nonsense10:38
marvin24e.g. foo.so.110:38
marvin24but es2_info wants them10:38
marvin24so I created a symlink, but that didn't helped10:38
ogra_did you run ldconfig afterwards ?10:38
marvin24on  the other hand, creating a symlink from nvidia-tegra/foo.so to /usr/lib/foo.so.1 helped10:38
marvin24sure I did10:39
marvin24I even checked with ldconfig -v10:39
ogra_weird10:39
ogra_thats all with the current kernel though, right ?10:40
marvin24with a r16 kernel10:41
marvin24but I think this shouldn't matter10:41
ogra_well, if it really shouldnt matter i should probably try myself with a proper r16 package :)10:42
marvin24ogra_: you can try, you can revert back easily10:43

rsalvetiogra_: oh dear12:57
ogra_yeah, made me a bit grumpy12:57
ogra_so badly researched12:57
rsalvetiyup12:59
rsalvetithe most important thing, that is the gles merge at compiz trunk is not there13:00
ogra_it is on the beta image13:00
ogra_but he also claims the pvr driver isnt ...13:00
rsalvetithat's true, guess the idea was just to rant about the decision of using llvmpipe13:01
ogra_(which is a lie and he could have checked with dpkg ... unless he used an image pre-beta indeed)13:02
rsalvetibecause it's not well supported at this point, or at least until it gets some kind of neon support13:02
ogra_yeah, and say that it runs just fine on fedora ...13:02
ogra_comapring apples and oranges :P13:02
rsalvetihahah, yeah yeah13:02
ogra_(GNOME on armv5 vs unity on v7)13:02
rsalvetiyeah, and it's not using beta13:03
rsalvetiotherwise pvr would be enabled13:03
ogra_right13:03
rsalvetilet's land this kernel fix and create another blog post showing how it's performing ;-)13:04
ogra_++13:05
ogra_:)13:05
* ogra_ would have so much to blog about ....13:05
ogra_my embedded filesystem builder slowly gets into shape :)13:05
hrwo rsalveti woke up13:05
ogra_my core rootfs is 3.5M big ;)13:05
ogra_and i completely HW hacked one of my ac100s :)13:06
hrwI hope to be able to build rootfs for my current target one day13:06
hrwogra_: what added/changed?13:07
ogra_(updated to 720p panel, running with 1.2GHz overclocking and using an internal 32G USB disk now)13:07
ogra_that was ~100€ and a weekend of HW tinkering :)13:07
hrwnice13:08
hrwadd second 512MB ram13:08
ogra_i wish i could13:08
ogra_even if you add POP ram, there is no wiring so you couldnt attach it13:09
ogra_the HW is only wired up for 512M13:09
ogra_but i switched to openbox anyway, so 512M arent such a big constraint anymore13:09
ogra_openbox, midori and sylpheed13:10
hrwI tried to make a use of efikasb but it was too slow. you atlesast have dualcore cpu13:11
ogra_yeah13:13
ogra_well, with the ablve hack the ac100 actually gets quite usable13:13
ogra_*above13:13
ogra_havin all my mail locally on disk really helps13:13
hrwyeah13:13
ogra_way faster than searching throuh a 40000 bugmail box remotely13:14
