| gaben | hi, a very quick question | 06:55 |
|---|---|---|
| gaben | my brightness controls stopped workin in 13.10 | 06:55 |
| gaben | is xorg the right package to file a bug against? | 06:55 |
| gaben | they worked fine ever since 12.04 | 06:55 |
| tjaalton | just saw some bug about it | 06:57 |
| tjaalton | oh you filed it | 06:58 |
| tjaalton | gaben: you could try an earlier nvidia driver | 06:59 |
| gaben | okay, i will try that | 07:00 |
| gaben | yes indeed it was me, just checking whether it was the right place to file it ;) | 07:00 |
| tjaalton | it's fine | 07:02 |
| gaben | thanks | 07:03 |
| gaben | I can only find 304 and 319 in the saucy repos | 07:08 |
| gaben | is there a ppa for other driver versions? | 07:08 |
| tjaalton | dunno, but 304 should support your card | 07:11 |
| gaben | indeed, but i don't get all the performance fixes of later version | 07:28 |
| tjaalton | it would confirm the bug is in the new driver.. | 07:37 |
| gaben | I'll reboot now and try it out | 07:51 |
| ingo | @tjaalton | 07:53 |
| ingo | jackpot | 07:53 |
| ingo | 304 works | 07:53 |
| tjaalton | ok | 07:53 |
| tjaalton | ingo: there's also nvidia-319-updates which is a bugfix release that might work | 07:55 |
| ingo | good, i will try that one | 07:56 |
| ingo | actually i was using that one | 07:57 |
| ingo | DkmsStatus: nvidia-319-updates, 319.60, 3.11.0-12-generic, x86_64: installed nvidia-319-updates, 319.60, 3.8.0-31-generic, x86_64: installed | 07:58 |
| ingo | from my log. if i'm not mistaken that means that that one was running, doesn't it? | 07:58 |
| tjaalton | yes | 07:59 |
| ingo | Is there a way/or shoulld I inform NVIDIA of this? | 08:01 |
| tjaalton | there is nvidia-bug-report.sh or such | 08:17 |
| tjaalton | a script you could run to report it to nvidia | 08:17 |

| bjsnider | i don't know how much longer they'll bother with 319, and there's a beta driver | 13:03 |
| tseliot | bjsnider: what's your point? | 13:23 |
| bjsnider | i wonder if the issue is already fixed in the beta | 13:23 |
| tjaalton | yeah I thought about that too | 13:24 |
| tseliot | what issue? | 13:25 |
| tjaalton | bug 1241745 | 13:25 |
| ubottu | bug 1241745 in nvidia-graphics-drivers-319 (Ubuntu) "[regression] Changing the screen brightness does not work anymore in 319.xx" [Medium,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1241745 | 13:25 |
| tseliot | oh, I'm wondering if something changed in the kernel but then why would 304 still work? | 13:27 |
| tseliot | I've just subscribed NVIDIA, just in case... | 13:29 |
| bjsnider | is there a safe way for that guy to test the beta? | 13:31 |
| tseliot | bjsnider: I have a package he could test | 13:34 |
| bjsnider | tseliot, he's in here, ingo | 13:35 |
| tseliot | ingo: if you want to test the latest driver, you can remove the driver that you're currently using and install the following http://people.canonical.com/~amilone/nvidia-331-updates_331.13-0ubuntu0.0.1_amd64.deb | 13:36 |

| SunPowered | What is the proper method of assigning which graphics card X outputs to? I installed a new NVIDIA GeForce GT 620 card to a board with integrated Intel graphics. I downloaded and ran the latest NVIDIA driver for my system (304.108). It created a new xorg.conf file, and the installation appeared to go ok. Upon restarting the computer, the output is still to the old integrated DVI port. With `lspci -C video` I see the new card a | 21:03 |
| SunPowered | ttached to physical id: 0. Using a suggestion from a Wiki article, I added `Option "UseDisplayDevice" "DFP"` to the Screen section in the xorg.conf file. I appear to have extended my knowledge of this. Any tips or articles I should know? | 21:03 |
| bjsnider | SunPowered, why not just disable the intel chip in the bios | 21:11 |
| SunPowered | good idea, didn't think about the BIOS. I'll give it a whirl | 21:13 |
| SunPowered | bingo. Thanks bjsnider. Learned something today | 21:18 |
