| [00:33] <tjaalton> sigh.. the openchrome uses CDBS, and the documentation is offline | |
| [00:34] <tjaalton> ah, the package has some | |
| [01:12] <tjaalton> ffs.. the openchrome package is crap.. I can't build the source after test building the binary | |

| [03:52] <bryce> tjaalton: hmm, I added my blog to planet-ubuntu a while ago, yet my past posts did not show up. Perhaps it only pulls new ones? I'll have to mess with it | |
| [06:28] <tjaalton> bryce: yes, new ones only | |
| [06:44] <tjaalton> and maybe if you modify an older post | |
| [06:47] <bryce> nope; I tried modifying the bug tool post (added a screenshot) but it didn't show up | |
| [06:48] <bryce> I'll do another post and check that it shows up | |
| [06:52] <bryce> wow, all my inkscape bug work over the holidays bumped my karma up quite a bit | |
| [06:53] <tjaalton> heh | |
| [06:55] <tjaalton> there's an upstream intel branch about which should fix EXA slowness, and I tried to build it, but failed. I'll try again today | |
| [06:55] <tjaalton> "intel-batchbuffer" | |
| [06:59] <bryce> oh btw, brian murray found a bug in the greasemonkey tag script where if there is a + or & in the description, the tool may change the description inappropriately | |
| [07:05] <tjaalton> ok, I'll update it | |
| [07:07] <bryce> tjaalton: has -intel fixed the issue that prevents DRI for virtual displays larger than 2048x2048? | |
| [07:08] <bryce> (bug #164049) | |
| [07:08] <ubotu> Launchpad bug 164049 in xserver-xorg-video-intel "intel xorg driver disables direct rendering for virtual display larger than 2048" [Low,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/164049 | |
| [07:08] <bryce> I ask because in bug 174745, they report the crash was caused by having a virtual size over 2048x2048 | |
| [07:08] <ubotu> Launchpad bug 174745 in xserver-xorg-video-intel "xorg lockup when screen is rotated" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/174745 | |
| [07:19] <tjaalton> no, it requires TTM | |
| [07:19] <tjaalton> AIUI | |
| [07:54] <bryce> ahh | |
| [08:19] <bryce> yay! all -intel bug triaging is caught up :-) | |
| [08:20] <tjaalton> heh, I noticed that my "launchpad-x" mailbox filled up :) | |
| [08:20] <bryce> :=) | |
| [08:21] <bryce> I got a couple new widescreen monitors today, but vowed to get -intel triaging done before I even opened the boxes | |
| [08:21] <tjaalton> hehe, what models? | |
| [08:21] <bryce> BenQ | |
| [08:21] <tjaalton> sweet, I bought a BenQ last month | |
| [08:22] <bryce> I've never bought benq before, but I did some pretty thorough research and they came out on top for my requirements | |
| [08:22] <bryce> they also were quite highly rated on newegg, so I'm very optimistic | |
| [08:23] <bryce> but... if I'm offline all day tomorrow you'll know why ;-) | |
| [08:23] <tjaalton> heh, ok! | |
| [08:23] <tjaalton> mine is a 24" with hdmi input | |
| [08:24] <bryce> oh maybe I've got the same | |
| [08:24] <tjaalton> so even if we won't get a new telly anytime soon, I'm still able to get a PS3 and use the full resolution | |
| [08:24] <bryce> MNTR BENQ|24" LCD 16MS HDMI FP241W | |
| [08:24] <tjaalton> yep, same model | |
| [08:25] <tjaalton> you've certainly done your research :) | |
| [08:25] <bryce> 8-) | |
| [08:25] <tjaalton> I could've bought a 24" model half the price, but I knew this one had a higher quality panle | |
| [08:25] <tjaalton> -el | |
| [08:26] <bryce> how's HDMI work? dell was asking me about if we've done testing of that | |
| [08:26] <bryce> yeah | |
| [08:26] <tjaalton> I don't have a gfx card with HDMI | |
| [08:26] <bryce> ah | |
| [08:26] <tjaalton> apparently there are still issues | |
| [08:26] <bryce> me either | |
| [08:27] <bryce> have you played with s-video? | |
| [08:27] <tjaalton> at least alsa lacks some support for transporting audio over it, but I guess it's almost ready | |
| [08:27] <tjaalton> my old laptop (T23) has an s-video port | |
| [08:28] <bryce> here's what you need for your TV: http://blog.wired.com/gadgets/2008/01/ces-2008-keynot.html | |
| [08:29] <tjaalton> hmm, let me recover the firefox sesssion | |
| [08:29] <tjaalton> -s | |
| [08:31] <tjaalton> ah, that one.. a bit pricey, but otherwise seems quite nice :) | |
| [08:35] <tjaalton> I wonder how much power that monster will suck | |
| [08:36] <bryce> yeah no kidding | |
| [08:36] <bryce> but it sounds like it'd play youtube videos really well, so hey | |
| [08:39] <tjaalton> yep, 400x300 (?) clips on a 4096x2160 screen :) | |
| [08:39] <bryce> awwsome | |
| [08:41] <bryce> oh btw, I learned a mechanism for marking bugs as "needs forwarded upstream" and started marking -intel bugs that look ready to report upstream | |
| [08:42] <bryce> I wanted to focus on getting through the preliminary triage so put off reporting them upstream for now, but plan to spend a day or so in the next week or two pushing bugs upstream | |
| [08:42] <tjaalton> ok, cool | |
| [08:43] <tjaalton> the newest version should fix quite a fex bugs | |
| [08:43] <bryce> excellent | |
| [08:44] <bryce> the way to mark bugs as needs forwarded is to go Affects +Project, then submit without entering a bug url. Easy | |
| [08:44] <bryce> if you run across other bugs that look ready to go upstream, mark 'em | |
| [08:50] <tjaalton> ok, good to know | |

| [09:37] <tjaalton> it's from the stable branch, so it'll become 2.2.1 | |
| [09:37] <tjaalton> not released yet though | |
| [09:38] <bryce> gotcha | |
| [09:38] <bryce> sounds like 2.2.1 is scheduled to be released within the month | |
