[17:05] <marcone> hello
[17:13] <marcone> id have a inux question, is this the right place? 
[17:28] <marcone> my question: i disabled my hdmi output to my tv on boot by a "video=HDMI-A-1:d" in the kernel command line. but i sometimes want to use it. is there a way of enabling it while the system is running?

[21:13] <dsmythies> There is a relatively new kernel configurstion parameter, CONFIG_DEVMEM, which for some reason "is not set" for Ubuntu, and therefore demicode does not work. I found this: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/kernel-team/2015-May/057250.html and so had expected it to be set to yes by now, but in Kernel 4.1RC6 it still isn't. Does anybody know why?
[21:34] <apw> dsmythies, i thought we fixed that in the wily kernel, so it should be fixed for mainline builds, which is what i assume you are running
[21:34] <apw> dsmythies, could you file a bug against linux please asking about it and pointing all that info out, and assign it to "apw"
[21:35] <apw> dsmythies, and drop the LP# number here please as well
[21:35] <dsmythies> apw: O.K.
[21:54] <dsmythies> Note: for unknown reasons I always say demicode when I mean to say dmidecode.
