Upgraded to Xorg1.8

combuster · 2010-05-14 10:01:36

Those questions are not allowed but I suspect pretty soon since first point release is already available upstream and there werent many fixes, so I guess it's pretty much stable... Dunno about mesa bits btw...

I think we are just stuck waiting on NVIDIA legacy drivers now.

mesa is a bit of a mess, intel will have issues, there are some patches, but i dont know if they will be included upstream. so there's that.

combuster · 2010-05-14 17:09:22

Do you have some links regarding those intel-mesa related issues ? I'm curious

Yep, had that one so i've uninstalled compiz. Funny enough, someone from this thread said it was working flawless so I thought it was only me

Typing lags, scroling garbled, flashback from few weeks ago

Someone who doesn't use intel maybe?

combuster · 2010-05-14 23:16:03

He didn't respond to that one, although I asked

eldragon · 2010-05-15 01:02:05

combuster, if you could test the patches im using, and report back that d be great,

some people had it working with the mesa patch only (comment 12 from the bug report).

i had to patch the kernel too.

now ive experienced some distortions followed by a hang (after logging of - aka killing X). posting the grabs on the freedesktop bug report (the open one).

Nvidia is even OK in testing, with older nvidia even works with ignoreABI flag

combuster · 2010-05-15 09:30:19

Np, I'll test it, right now I'm on 2.6.34-rc7, I'll see if this patches are already applied...

/edit: yep problem is still there with untainted 2.6.34-rc7, I'll apply the patches now...

/edit again: applied both patches, without indirect rendering in compiz problem remains, with indirect rendering no problems...

intel users, new day, new bug:

/off: @eldragon, That's great man that you want to help by testing and sending bug reports, but a pair of advices:

- Don't post multiple messages in a row except there is something ground braking you want to report back to dev's (multiple instances of the same bug doesn't help)
- Take your time before posting a comment on bug report, only when u r sure that what u've discovered is not changing under any circumstances - then you post your findings
- Never - NEVER post a comment on a bug report that is not related to the reported bug

Ofcourse, only report upstream if you've build the project from source yourself - if there is a bug in official packages - bug report should go to Arch bug tracker.

IE: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php? … 16#p751716

I could posted right away upstream to intel drm section because of the panic that looked to be i915 bug, but good ppl here helped so the bug wasn't kernel related afterall - saved intel dev crew and myself whole lot of trouble

thanks for the tips. will try and see where i messed up. so far, ive only been adding information as it crept up. i will try to be less noisy in the future

Got the new 2.6.34 kernel + xorg 1.8 (both from testing) + hal removed (-Rd for gnome-vfs deps, do I read you right flamelab that gvfs can be installed as a drop-in replacemenbt of gnome-vfs?) + last nvidia blob = great system, all working great !
Great great work to all the dev/TU/tester team, thanks and my hat down !

dswann · 2010-05-22 05:15:15

Enabled the testing repo and did a -Syu to upgrade xorg to 1.8 + intel 2.11 drivers. Everything thing seems working as before with xorg 1.7, still haven't had the need to touch any xorg configuration files . Disabled hal in starting up in my dameons and nothing seems broken but I can't get rid of HAL just yet as Thunar requires it still and I am running XFCE. Haven't found a good way to force XFCE to not use Thunar.

frigaut · 2010-05-23 05:01:02

ok. It's not exactly the same drivers.
Since then I have upgraded to the nvidia-beta (256.25) and vdpau is working now. So I'm guessing 195.36.24 were somehow faulty.
Given that these are the one in [testing], it would be good to confirm if they are indeed the issue.

tomk · 2010-05-23 10:40:41

Report the problem in the testing section of the bugtracker.

VDPAU works fine for me with the 195.36.24 driver as well.

frigaut · 2010-05-23 23:25:33

ok, thanks skottish. So no problem, must be something in my config.

orschiro · 2010-05-25 06:11:25

Just a quick question. Can anybody estimate when xorg1.8 will be transfered to the stable repos?

ngoonee · 2010-05-25 07:26:39

When its ready (tm)

tomk · 2010-05-25 08:52:44

Expanding a little on that - you can check the bugtracker for any relevant bugs, and the arch-dev-public ML for related dev discussion. Then you can estimate yourself when it's likely to hit extra.
