[09:18] <speakman> I was thinking more like pixel-smooth scrolling for Chrome and overall better touchpad support. I've been pretty spoiled by Mointain Lion :)
[12:06] <speakman> Just got my Magic Mouse. Seems like there's stuff to do. :)
[12:13] <bregma> speakman, there is much to do on the magic mouse, it's a nontrivial task
[12:31] <speakman> I see. Should I be using evdev or synaptics to start with?
[12:35] <bregma> see what it defaults to, I think it defaults to evdev
[12:42] <speakman> yep, but it seems like I can't set scrolling settings in evdev
[12:42] <speakman> (or I don't know how)
[12:48] <speakman> But evdev seems to only get keypress events when I'm scrolling. How can I make it work as smooth as two-finger scroll on a mousepad?
[13:44] <bregma> speakman, if you want the two-finger scrolling, you have to switch to synaptics
[13:44] <bregma> it will work more like a separate touchpad that way, but it's probably closer to the experience you're looking for
[13:45] <bregma> you may need to jiggle settings in the Mouse and Touchpad panel, too
[13:48] <speakman> OK, thanks! Since I do not use an xorg.conf at all currently, is there a way to change driver from evdev to synaptics without it?
[13:48] <speakman> Or can I just specify the driver alone in an xorg.conf?
[13:53] <bregma> speakman, you need to tweak some settings in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/ and unfortunately I'm so rusty on which ones I'm not too useful
[14:04] <speakman> bregma: ok, I didn't even knew there were a ".d" directory. Is there a name for such? /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ and /etc/apache2/conf.d/ etc?
[14:05] <speakman> I don't have such directory either :/
[14:05] <bregma> odd
[14:06] <bregma> I know the xserver-xorg-input-evdev package installs files into that directory, for a start
[14:09] <speakman> ops! Was looking in /etc/ when it should be /usr/share/. How come settings files are in /usr/share/ btw?
[14:10] <bregma> I don't know, it's an x.org thing I guess
[14:11] <bregma> the /usr/share settings are application defaults, the /etc/X11 settings are local system defaults and override the /usr/share ones
[14:29] <dandrader> bregma, is there any way for me to make configure use, say, "-ggdb -O0" instead of "-g -O2"? I've been manually replacing these in the genereated configure script, but I suppose there's a better way that I'm unaware of
[14:30] <dandrader> setting the CFLAGS or CPPFLAGS environment variables before running configure doesn't help
[14:30] <bregma> CXXFLAGS="-O0 -ggdb3" ./configure ....
[14:30] <bregma> or set CXXFLAGS before running make
[14:31]  * dandrader tries out
[14:31] <bregma> and verify with "make V=1"
[14:31] <dandrader> that V=1 trick I was aware of
[14:31] <dandrader> -ggdb3?
[14:32] <dandrader> "man gcc" doesn't show that...
[14:32] <bregma> gdb3 includes DWARF level 3 debugging symbols, 1 more than the default
[14:34] <dandrader> it worked with CXXFLAGS :) thanks!
