cdoublejj | what version Open GL will Lubuntu 14.04 LTS be running? | 05:27 |
ianorlin | The same version as ubuntu | 05:30 |
cdoublejj | what version open gl does ubuntu 14.04 use? | 05:34 |
ianorlin | I think it is 3.3 | 05:41 |
cdoublejj | damn not even 4.0 yet ? | 05:44 |
cdoublejj | even osx upgraded ogl | 05:44 |
ianorlin | at least not in open source drivers | 05:45 |
cdoublejj | ooohhhhhhh | 05:45 |
ianorlin | the binary drivers have a lot more recent stuff | 05:45 |
cdoublejj | that makes a big difference | 05:45 |
ianorlin | but the open source ones will be the ones on the disk \ | 05:45 |
cdoublejj | most gamers get the nvidia drivers | 05:46 |
cdoublejj | and i guess ATI/AMD | 05:46 |
cdoublejj | i hear talk valve help AMD better their drivers some but, in general AMD has shite software, there aren't as big as intel or nvidia | 05:47 |
ianorlin | I only have intel but don't do that much gaming | 05:52 |
cdoublejj | fairly sure they have helped intel up there drives, the phoronix benchmark of 14.04 shows a up to a 10FPS improvement on intel HD | 05:54 |

basketball | holstein, how do i sync the caps lock light on laptop and external keyboard | 21:54 |
basketball | when i press caps lock on my laptop how do i get the caps light lock to show up on usb keybopard and vice versa | 22:09 |
genii | That's actually an interesting question to try and solve. | 22:33 |
Unit193 | Getting the LEDs to reflect what's actually toggled in the system isn't as easy as windows, right. Scroll lock won't even work without fixing, fresh installs. | 22:35 |
genii | Hm. | 22:38 |
phillw | hmm, mine work fine on my PB laptop... I also have keyboard LED settings installed on my task bar :) | 22:39 |
genii | Currently on my Kubuntu the keys on the external USB make the main laptop ones light but the reverse isn't true | 22:41 |
genii | Interesting. | 22:41 |
phillw | genii: let me grab the usb keyboard (not even sure if it has LEDs :) ) | 22:43 |
genii | I just find it one of these intriguing little puzzles. | 22:44 |
phillw | it has | 22:45 |
phillw | hello from usb keyboard | 22:45 |
* genii waves | 22:48 | |
phillw | genii: the keyboard can set itself and laptop to num-lock and cap lock. However, this shows on keyboard led settings module. If I set num-lock on with the laptop, the led on usb keyboard does not light (laptop does) however it is activated. Same as if I set on the usb keyboard.. led lights but not laptop LED.... So, I guess the answer is to add Keyboard LED settings to your task bar, as it reports correctly which ever keyboard sets caps / num lock :) | 22:50 |
genii | phillw: I'll add that to my little black book of notes :) | 22:51 |
phillw | afaik the led monitor actually checks what the system is using, not which keyboard set it :P | 22:51 |
phillw | I think it is new for 14.04 (i'd never seen it before) | 22:52 |
genii | I wonder if the actual lighting of the LED on the keyboard is done in the hardware of the specific keyboard. But then how could BIOS have a setting like NumLock on/off ? | 22:57 |
Unit193 | genii: Throw VNC into the mix, and with the right timing you can de-sync the LEDs entirely. | 22:59 |
phillw | Unit193: btw, did you get the email okay? | 23:00 |
Unit193 | phillw: Heh, pinged as I was reading it, danke. | 23:00 |
phillw | i've popped on here as bodhi is doing horrible things to an innocent alternate ISO :P | 23:01 |
basketball | how do i sync the caps lock num lock and scroll lock lights on laptop and usb keyboard | 23:35 |
