| FurretUber | Hi, will siliconmotion support be removed for 20.04? | 03:03 |
|---|---|---|
| valorie | !info siliconmotion | 03:23 |
| ubottu | Package siliconmotion does not exist in focal | 03:23 |
| valorie | !info silicon-motion | 03:23 |
| ubottu | Package silicon-motion does not exist in focal | 03:23 |
| FurretUber | Oh, its name is xserver-xorg-video-siliconmotion | 03:23 |
| FurretUber | It seems that both it and evdev are going to be removed? At least this is what the bug #1772588 implies | 03:25 |

| FurretUber | I am worried: abandoning evdev would make some touchscreens stop working, as libinput does not support those. Abandoning siliconmotion would make certain multiseat configurations stop working, making, for example, some laboratories with 8 computers for 22 seats require buying additional 14 computers to replace what is going to stop working | 03:32 |

| ubottu | xserver-xorg-video-siliconmotion (source: xserver-xorg-video-siliconmotion): X.Org X server -- SiliconMotion display driver. In component universe, is optional. Version 1:1.7.9-2ubuntu2 (focal), package size 47 kB, installed size 144 kB | 03:33 |
| valorie | it's in focal | 03:33 |
| dax | for now | 03:34 |
| FurretUber | Right now it is, but I'm not sure it's going to be kept | 03:34 |
| dax | plan seems to be to remove from debian and then remove from ubuntu once that's done. i'm not seeing a bug in debian for removing it tho so idk what the status is | 03:34 |
| valorie | FurretUber: you have the bug report link -- speak up there | 03:34 |
