[08:27] <tjaalton> bryce: I'll be there before the input-hótplug session starts ;)
[08:29] <tjaalton> F9 has a small patch for the server to disable keyboard-hotplug completely
[08:33] <tjaalton> oh, and they actually have an fdi file for wacom as well
[08:33] <tjaalton> so it might actually work
[08:34] <pwnguin> ooh
[08:34] <tjaalton> same goes to synaptics, but I bet there are those who still want to fiddle with the touchpad options
[08:35] <pwnguin> that wallstreet journal review guy mentioned synaptics as lacking in 7.10
[08:35] <tjaalton> hmm, I wonder if only adding the fdi file would make wacom work right OOTB
[08:35] <tjaalton> pwnguin: link?
[08:36] <pwnguin> did nobody else see this?
[08:36] <pwnguin> http://online.wsj.com/public/article/SB118963540721725614-FnJzx_wcNlkRFOef4cgq74PBW3g_20080912.html
[08:38] <tjaalton> ah
[08:39] <tjaalton> so some devices are too sensitive with default settings. but SHMConfig will never be turned on ;)
[08:39] <tjaalton> input properties is the way to go
[08:39] <pwnguin> i wish i could remember the review where they complained that their midis didnt play
[08:39] <tjaalton> hardly an xorg issue ;)
[08:40] <pwnguin> of course, but still hilarious
[08:40] <tjaalton> right
[08:40] <tjaalton> I've only got one midi file, and that's the opening theme of Monkey Island :P
[08:40] <pwnguin> interestingly, 8.,04 seems to have picked up support for .mod files. i just found a CD-R from ten years ago with a few of those and some windows emulators on it
[08:40] <pwnguin> played just fine in totem
[08:41] <tjaalton> yep, blame gstreamer
[08:41] <tjaalton> hum, breakfast and then to corinthia ->
[08:41] <pwnguin> nearly bedtime here
[08:42] <tjaalton> west coast?
[08:42] <pwnguin> central
[08:42] <pwnguin> its 2am
[08:43] <tjaalton> hah
[08:43] <tjaalton> well, pretty normal I guess ;)
[08:43] <pwnguin> i used to stay up till 5am. silly austrialians at that point on IRC
[08:45] <tjaalton> heh
[08:45] <tjaalton> oh god my jeans smell bad.. damn smokers at the bars
[08:46] <tjaalton> but gotta run while they still server breakfast! ->
[08:46] <tjaalton> uh, -r
[08:46] <pwnguin> go!
[10:00] <tjaalton> bryce_: where are you at?
[10:01] <tjaalton> ok, see you already :)
[11:00] <bryce_> tjaalton: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xorg_input_hotplugging
[11:03] <tjaalton> bryce_: thanks, reading..
[17:23] <tjaalton> tseliot: so, do you have someting ready for split nvidia*?
[17:30] <tjaalton> disco..
[17:30] <tjaalton> the theme of the year
[20:07] <tseliot> tjaalton: are you there?
[20:14] <Ng> does the kernel modesetting stuff that's in development mean that switching to vt1 won't be necessary on suspend?
[22:29] <tjaalton> tseliot: back
[23:32] <jcristau> hrm. why do i get mail from xorg-edgers ppa?
[23:32] <jcristau> looks like someone's trying to build xorg-server 2:1.4.1~git20080507-1 there
[23:37] <jcristau> tormod: ^^
