[21:57] <bdmurray> bryce: did you see bug 87661 was updated?
[21:57] <ubottu> Launchpad bug 87661 in mesa "[apport] polytopes crashed with SIGILL in _mesa_x86_64_transform_points4_perspective()" [Medium,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/87661
[21:58] <bryce> no, thanks.
[21:58] <bryce> I've re-upped -evdev
[21:58] <bdmurray> it looks like its fixed upstream now
[22:09] <bryce> yep
[22:23] <bdmurray> bryce: did anybody ask about bug 277452?
[22:23] <ubottu> Launchpad bug 277452 in xorg-server "Ubuntu 8.10 Beta won`t start" [High,Incomplete] https://launchpad.net/bugs/277452
[22:38] <bryce> bdmurray: no not so far
[22:39] <bryce> erf, log.rar?? /me dislikes it when people archive up their logs
[22:40] <bdmurray> let alone a rar
[22:41] <bdmurray> there's another nv bug that might be related but the pci id is different
[22:41] <bryce> yeah and there's just a single file in it, so it's not even a workaround of lp's one-attachment-at-a-time issue
[22:56] <bdmurray> bryce: they said alpha 6 worked for them though...
[22:59] <bryce> hmm
[23:00] <bryce> well I'm pretty sure we didn't rev -nv between alpha6 and now
[23:00] <bdmurray> I've found another bug 277473, with pci id 10de:0531
[23:00] <ubottu> Launchpad bug 277473 in xserver-xorg-video-nv "intrepid: couldn't start x server when using liveCD to run system directly and intall (nvidia)" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/277473
[23:02] <bryce> hmm
[23:03] <bryce> well, that's certainly true, but the error messages on both bugs indicate an unsupported chip. odd
[23:10] <bdmurray> I think there are a few more lying around too
[23:19] <bryce> bdmurray: are they all the same chipset?
[23:20] <bdmurray> no they are not exactly the same
[23:20] <bryce> hmm, well -nv hasn't changed since July
[23:20] <bdmurray> Yeah, I see that
[23:21] <bdmurray> Is there a list of devices supported by a driver somewhere?
[23:22] <bryce> yeah looking for that now
[23:22] <bryce> it's in nv_driver.c
[23:23] <bryce> ok, regarding bug #277452, which has 0x10de07e3, that''s not listed in nv_driver.c
[23:23] <ubottu> Launchpad bug 277452 in xserver-xorg-video-nv "-nv doesn't support 0x10de07e3 (GeForce 7050/nForce 610i)" [High,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/277452
[23:24] <bryce> lemme look in git
[23:25] <bryce> there's a 2.1.12 of the driver
[23:25] <bryce> although 0x10de07e3 still is not listed
[23:26] <bdmurray> hmm, is there just a lot of hardware that isn't supported yet?
[23:27] <bryce> same thing with 277473
[23:27] <bryce> probably
[23:27] <bryce> -nv development is sloooowww
[23:28] <bryce> so, bdmurray, basically you can just get either the pci id like 10de07e3, or the model name like 7150M, and do a grep -sir in the -nv source tree, and if nothing prints, then it's unsupported hardware
[23:31] <bryce> 2.1.12 only adds one new supported chip
[23:31] <bryce> + { 0x10DE0640, "GeForce 9500 GT" },
[23:31] <bryce> er wait
[23:32] <bryce> my bad, there's a bunch actually
[23:33] <bryce> http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/53566/
[23:33] <bryce> bdmurray: if you spot bug reports for any of those, let me know and I can fix them
[23:33] <bryce> for any other than that, we'll just have to suggest they use -vesa or -nvidia for now
[23:34] <bdmurray> Should the Live CD fallback to -vesa?
[23:35] <bryce> yeah I think so
[23:41] <bdmurray> a lot of these are Live CD problems...
