Re: [Pkg-fglrx-devel] AMD Dropping R300-R500 Support In Catalyst Driver
Bertrand Marc schrieb: Patrick Matthäi a écrit : Hello, I just saw this today: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=articleitem=amd_r500_legacynum=1 Fact: AMD will drop the support with 9.4 for all cards which are older than the HD 2000 series to focus on newer card. 9.3 will be the last release which supports 300-500 cards. How annoying.. Also we are not able to support the legacy driver until Squeeze, due of Xorg ABI bumps (incompatible with Xorg 1.5.99) and the kernel module is also not every time in a good way patchable.. Comments? Hello, I would have plenty of comments about AMD, but let's stick with fglrx... Yeah and this does not help anyone :) On our end I think we just need to make it clear to users still using R300-500. This would be one solution. As you said 9.3 will probably not work with squeeze, so it has no sense to upload a legacy driver, hasn't it ? Depends on how fast Squeeze releases and with which kernel and if we are able to patch it. But the biggest problem is the Xorg incompatibility. 9-2 does not fit with xserver 1.5 yet. We could just still hope that 9-3 will do so, then we had a chance.. I am curious to see what commercial distribution (as Ubuntu) will do about it. Maybe they'll patch 9.3 as long as possible and we will be able to use their work ? Kanotix is the commercial one, not Ubuntu. Anyway I CCed the maintainer list of the Ubuntu fglrx maintainers. What are your plans?

Patches for better detecting i915 driver
I'm running easypeasy 1.0 with kernel 2.6.27.18. Some hal-scripts for
suspend/hibernate do not detect correctly the i915, because module entry
is missing in /sys. The patches make the scripts more robust. They
additionally use /proc for detection.

Re: Notable Changes to Jaunty's PulseAudio
Hi Dan, On Thu, Feb 19, 2009 at 11:50:32PM -0800, Dan Chen wrote: The latest PulseAudio upload in jaunty actually effects the autospawn change intended in the previous upload.

Hi Paulo, On Wed, Mar 11, 2009 at 11:00:07PM +, Paulo Silva wrote: i saw from slashdot twitter that files on ext4 are being missed? i confess i were expecting this happening, since ext4 is still too recent - maybe would be a good idea to release ext4 only on Karmic Koala? Defaultly, i'm not feeling too courageous, as user, on try ext4 that soon... You appear to be referring to a Slashdot story covering the recent reports of empty files when powering off systems uncleanly. As the Slashdot article acknowledges, and as discussed in https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2009-March/027689.html, this is not a bug in ext4 at all, but rather a bug in the assumptions of certain desktop environments which expect behavior from the filesystem that is not (and never has been) guaranteed by POSIX. Since ext4 is not being offered as the default in jaunty, and will therefore only be used by users who go out of their way to select a different filesystem, I don't think these bugs in other pieces of software are a reason to exclude ext4 from the jaunty release. Furthermore, as Ted notes in the bug log, the same assumptions are also a problem on xfs, which has been an install option for years. So this is a sound reason for users to not use ext4 for their Ubuntu 9.04 installs if system reliability is a problem for them (as it is for most of us), but not a reason for pulling ext4 out of the release. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
