[11:04] <brendand> what's the deal with xrandr on ARM (specifically Pandaboard)?
[11:05] <ogra_> what should be the deal ?
[14:34] <plars> ogra_: hi!
[14:34] <plars> ogra_: strange thing I just noticed while doing the latest install on panda
[14:34] <plars> ogra_: when the screen blanks, it goes white instead of black
[14:34] <ogra_> tell me
[14:34] <ogra_> intresting
[14:35] <ogra_> i'm sitting next to a running install where the screen just blanked to black the second where you typed that
[14:35] <ogra_> plars, desktop or server ?
[14:36] <plars> ogra_: desktop
[14:36] <ogra_> hmm
[14:36] <ogra_> i would blame pvr-omap4
[14:36] <ogra_> or ypur monitor
[14:37] <ogra_> *your
[14:37] <ogra_> its definitely black for me
[14:38] <rsalveti> plars: that's dpms acting weird with the latest kernel changes
[14:38] <rsalveti> most of the times it behaves correctly, but I also got a green and white screens sometimes
[14:39] <ogra_> we could call it a "color test feature" ;)
[14:39] <ogra_> "while you are not working, ubuntu tests the color cabilities of your monitor for you" :)
[14:42] <plars> hah
[14:43] <ogra_> but in a more serious world, that should be filed as a bug indeed :)
[14:43] <ogra_> low prio etc
[14:43] <highvoltage> sounds like the original NES which would show full screen (sometimes alternating) colours when things go wrong
[15:08] <plars> ogra_, rsalveti: desktop seems to be working nicely, known issue with bug #1055949 but it's pretty minor.  And the ui is pretty slow... did we ever get good drivers for panda?
[15:08] <ubot2> Launchpad bug 1055949 in unity "Unity panel shadow appears as solid black bar on GLES/ARM (Pandaboard)" [Medium,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1055949
[15:09] <ogra_> thx
[15:09] <plars> ogra_, rsalveti: looking a little more, audio seems to work over both hdmi, and jack (yay!) however I'm getting a weird popping noise at the beginning of playing a sound when I use the headphone jack
[15:09] <plars> is that something you've experienced too?
[15:09] <ogra_> not tried :)
[15:09] <plars> it's quite a loud pop actually
[15:10] <ogra_> plars, we ship pvr-omap4 preinstalled, you should be using it from the start on desktop nowadays
[15:10] <plars> ogra_: maybe I'm just spoiled.. it seems slowish to me
[15:10] <plars> but I'm just on older panda, no ES :(
[15:11] <ogra_> mie is still running ...
[15:11] <ogra_> *mine
[15:11] <ogra_> will tell you if its slow once its done :)
[15:11]  * plars is just glad the screen jitters are gone
[15:12] <plars> ogra_: probably server is a bigger issue at the moment - hggdh seems to hit your hdmi bug, and though my hdmi monitor works fine under server, the keyboard does not so I still have to install over serial
[15:12] <ogra_> yes, same here
[15:12] <ogra_> its on my TODO
[15:13] <ogra_> my screen works just fine now with server though
[15:54] <ogra_> plars, i bet the slowness you see is because update-apt-xapian-index runs right after boot (for about 30min) and eats all your CPU
[15:54] <plars> ogra_: ah, could be
[15:54] <ogra_> my desktop is idle right after install but the USB key blinks like mad
[15:55] <ogra_> oh, and apport usually grinds the system to a halt as well
[15:55] <ogra_> seems it just collected info for a gwibber crash for 15min here
[16:04] <sauerbraten> after installing ubuntu-omap4-extras, do I need to install a h.264 decode package or something? or is there a specific way I have to start video playback? shouldn't firefox be able to play h.264 e.g. on youtube?
[16:04] <ogra_> better ask that to the TI guys in #pnadaboard
[16:04] <ogra_> *pandaboard
[16:04]  * ogra_ hasnt used the PPA since oneiric or so
[16:05]  * ogra_ goes for a break
[16:08]  * sauerbraten will try totem
[17:14] <ogra_> plars, ha ! now my screen was white too ... it seems to be related to running unity ... before i wasnt logged in
[18:43] <sauerbraten> my X fails to use the correct driver. what do I need to put into xorg.conf? I had Driver set to "omap", which it can't find (said xorg.o.log) and "omap_pvr" (which made it look for omappvr, also not found) modprobe -l shows me "updates/dkms/omapdrm_pvr.ko"
[18:43] <sauerbraten> is there any way to find out the correct string to put as driver so it loads the correct one?
[20:17] <ndec_> sauerbraten: "omap" is the right name. so there must be some other problem
