| Sarvatt | so.. people got signed up for debian X backports by a kernel guy...? libdrm rename in stable like its that easy? | 03:03 |
|---|---|---|
| RAOF | Yeah, there's no problem there, right? :) | 03:07 |
| Sarvatt | who's gonna do all this packaging new mesa that only binds the drivers to new pciids and stuff? you can't use dri drivers from 9.2 (for broadwell) with 8.0 libGL anymore.. | 03:09 |
| Sarvatt | err sorry, 9.3, 9.2 dri drivers work fine | 03:09 |
| Sarvatt | we may end up having to do something similar for ubuntu to get broadwell on 12.04.4 but at least it'll be 9.3 or 9.4 libGL and the dri driver will work | 03:11 |
| Sarvatt | new mesa source package that only ships i965_dri.so that is | 03:12 |
| Sarvatt | ah wait, just realized the plan is broadwell in 13.10, before any friggin code is released | 03:13 |
| RAOF | Heh. | 03:18 |
| Sarvatt | kernel side is easy, just ship http://drvbp1.linux-foundation.org/~mcgrof/rel-html/backports/ in dkms format.. mesa is gonna be a PITA | 03:18 |
| Sarvatt | jcristau: are you at debconf to say how crazy that is? renaming the rest of the stack is a huge hack but it "works", libdrm is nuts. we actually update libdrm directly in the lts regardless of the stable rules because renaming it breaks the world | 03:27 |
| Sarvatt | then again plymouth isn't basically "essential" in debian thanks to upstart.. | 03:27 |
| Sarvatt | http://cgit.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/commit/?id=9f07ca11c1797ac12de1e1c6aef13cf58824b5f5 breaks using newer dri drivers with squeeze mesa | 03:41 |
| jcristau | Sarvatt: vorlon wants to change that (upstart) | 05:48 |
| jcristau | Sarvatt: i don't think anyone signed up for the mass rename though | 05:48 |
| jcristau | so far the only thing that was agreed is to try and ship compat-drivers for the kernel | 05:51 |
| jcristau | and have the installer use it if you have such and such hw | 05:51 |
| tjaalton | ooh, xorg bof in 25 :) | 07:04 |
| tjaalton | @debconf | 07:04 |
| jcristau | yeah. probably not video though, i submitted the bof last night at like 11:30pm | 07:05 |
| jcristau | we were like "hey, look, there's an empty slot in the main talk room, let's steal that" | 07:06 |
| tjaalton | hehe, ok | 07:07 |
| jcristau | tjaalton: actually there are video team people in the room, so maybe they'll do it anyway | 07:24 |
| tjaalton | nice | 07:29 |
| tjaalton | that went well :) | 08:00 |
| mlankhorst | because the mass rename worked so well for ubuntu | 08:04 |
| mlankhorst | i haven't even tried only backporting the drivers and rename them, you have to be pretty crazy to do that | 08:04 |
| tjaalton | mlankhorst: heh, rick has a new hybrid machine, and nouveau thinks there's vga-1 connected, lp1212677 | 08:58 |
| tjaalton | nice, stuck touch input with saucy.. now to test the same with the latest xserver | 10:02 |
| tjaalton | it finally got unblocked | 10:02 |
| tjaalton | yup, seems to be fixed | 10:04 |
| jcristau | mlankhorst: actually i have no clue how the mass rename worked for ubuntu. all i know is it seems like a crazy amount of work that there's no way we can pull off in debian. | 10:06 |
| mlankhorst | jcristau: renaming mesa is even crazier.. | 19:49 |
