[Bug 393008] Re: [Karmic] power management icon says laptop is connected to power when it isn't

2009-11-19 Thread jimpop
OK, I finally got around to testing something, and am happy to report
that the fix is adding the following to rc.local

cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT1/state > /dev/null

[Bug 330906] Re: MASTER: GMA-500 lacks driver for 8.10 and 9.10 (poulsbo works only on 8.04 and 9.04)

2009-10-31 Thread jimpop
I honestly don't know why Ubuntu MOTU wouldn't include something, from a
previous release, that works in the current release.  I often suspected
politics as a LOT of the formal Ubuntu replies/comments are rather
questionable (i.e. "Intel won't support the psb on Karmic", as if Intel
would support a driver in any specific Linux distro.)

@amichair:  see port #44 in this thread for the installation steps.
The author of that blog post is spot-on.  I did a deep-dive of the
source and it is a mess, mostly due to it's age.   Linux DRM (Direct
Rendering Manager) has changed a lot since the psb code was written...
and at this point it's going to take a re-write to get it up to par.
As i understand it, there is an effort underway to do just that.

Any idea on when we can get new pkgs to test?  Anyone?  Bueller?

I'm surprised that something this serious (seems to affect most laptops)
is going stale

I wonder if this bug will languish on like this one did:

Yes, I know those are 2D packages... but they produce stunningly
clear, and vibrant, HD quality for non DRM vids.  I wish I had an HD
camera to shoot the quality that those drivers produce on the AO751h.

2009-10-08 Thread jimpop
How much more 2d or 3d accelleration do I need beyond what the present
psb (that is incorrectly packaged and distributed) gives:

~$ glxgears 
1256 frames in 5.0 seconds
1425 frames in 5.0 seconds
1499 frames in 5.0 seconds
1459 frames in 5.0 seconds

The trick to Poulsbo is to have all chipset components (audio, video,
etc) configured and working properly.  A poorly configured hda-intel
module can have adverse affects on the video perfomance, etc.

Can you now fix the packaging so that the driver can be distributed
easily so that the Acer AO751h can work out of the box with Karmic.

Thanks,

-Jim P.

2009-10-07 Thread jimpop
I have zero lags.  The psb driver (sans the packaging/distribution mess)
works perfectly.   I don't see any need for Intel to formally support
the psb driver on Karmic as long as they just support the driver in
general.  Did Atheros support the Hardy wireless driver of years past?
This whole psb mess has given me a bad feeling about Ubuntu.  Again, the
driver works, it's the packaging/distribution/politics that suck.  Shame
on Ubuntu if they don't support this in Karmic as the Poulsbo chipset is
probably the most important thing for Ubuntu to pay attention to.  There
are now hundreds of thousands of inexpensive (cheaper than an iPhone!)
netbooks hitting the market with the Poulsbo chipset.  Most of those are
going to go to college, and other, students who will be eager to try
*any* Linux distro on them.   If it works on Gentoo, then they will
stick with Gentoo.   <- Marc S, Pete G, you reading this?

For Karmic (9.10) here is what I had to do (from
http://mail.ale.org/pipermail/ale/2009-October/113618.html)

The solution is to manually d/l and install this package:

http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-mobile/ppa/ubuntu/pool/main/x/xserver-
xorg-video-psb/xserver-xorg-video-psb_0.31.0-0ubuntu1~904um1_i386.deb

then add this software source:

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/lucazade/gma500/ubuntu karmic main

and then add Lucazade's key:

apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 6699F3D9

then

apt-get update
apt-get install psb-firmware psb-kernel-headers psb-kernel-source
xpsb-glx libdrm-poulsbo1 poulsbo-config

and then set your xorg.conf to this:

---
Section "Device"
Identifier  "Configured Video Device"
Option  "IgnoreACPI"
Option  "AccelMethod" "exa"
Option  "MigrationHeuristic" "greedy"
Option  "NoDDC"
Driver  "psb"
EndSection

Section "DRI"
Mode0666
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
Identifier  "Configured Monitor"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
Identifier  "Default Screen"
Monitor "Configured Monitor"
Device  "Configured Video Device"
EndSection

#Added for mouse pad
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier  "Mouse0"
Driver  "synaptics"
Option  "Protocol" "auto"
Option  "Device" "/dev/input/mouse0"
Option  "ZAxisMapping" "4 5 6 7"
Option  "CorePointer"
Option  "HorizEdgeScroll" "1"
EndSection
---

Now if you look at the launchpad page for the software source
(https://launchpad.net/~lucazade/+archive/gma500) you will see that
the required xserver-xorg-video-psb package failed to build 3 weeks
ago.   Dig around a bit and you will see that the build error is a
very minor "unable to rm -f a *directory*" which is why the needed
package isn't in the gma550 PPA.
