xorg option to switch GPU
Hye @ all, i own a dell xps 13 since january of this year. This laptop has hybrid sli which is not supported in linux. I want to know if it's possible to configure xorg to use only the onboard GPU and switch the powerful one off? In vista i reach more than 4h batterylife in study modus (have some PDF open and hear music) by the same activity, in linux a reach only 2h. I have tried with BusId 'PCI:2:00:0' but it does't work!

Re: xorg option to switch GPU
Battery liveliness can be affected by many factors on GNU/Linux platform. 1) Make sure you use on demand CPU governor or powersave one. 2) Install laptop-mode-tools which can slow down your disc when on battery 3) Check your power management (in my case gnome-power-preferences) to tune screen light and other features 4) Make sure services You use are battery safe. For example if You use hdaps, install latest version from tp-smapi source. This one does not poll continuously from sysfs and also saves lots of battery. 2009/8/16 logangt jackywolfs...@gmail.com: Hye @ all, i own a dell xps 13 since january of this year.

minimal modules
I have tried a download agent didn't have much luck. But the one Linux Torvald's wrote, I can't think of it's name. I have successfully used before. I'm just still looking for those minimal modules I can set up. Is there a list? Bill ___ xorg mailing list xorg@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg

ANN: xterm patch #246
Patch #246 - 2009/8/16 * remove obsolete logic for saving/restoring wrapping flags, which did not work on 64-bit platform. Wrapping flags (stored in the line-index) are now copied with line-data (Debian #541160). * modify comments in app-defaults files to avoid problem with C preprocessor used by xrdb (Debian #541603). * restore special case in makeColorPair, needed for colorBDMode resource (Debian #541089). * correct SetLineFlags() macro, broken in [250]patch #244 when recoding to avoid gcc-specific bitfields (Debian #541236). * modify initialization of screen buffers to ensure that pointers align to int-boundaries. This fixes a problem introduced in [251]patch #244 where the color- and character-arrays (stored after the video-attributes in each row) might be misaligned (report by Rajeev V Pillai). * add limit-check in ScrnRefresh for handling saved-lines from the circular buffer which are repainted on a screen whose width has increased. To improve performance, circular buffer entries are not resized (report by Rajeev V Pillai). * correct type for CellColor (a late change in [252]patch #244 to avoid gcc-specifc enums made that unsigned rather than unsigned short, for the 256-color option). * fix typo in configure option --enable-16bit-chars (report by Rajeev V. Pillai). -- Thomas E.

Re: Don't reset the lastDeviceEventTime when doing DPMS actions
On Fri, Aug 14, 2009 at 12:07:28PM +0100, Richard Hughes wrote: When we change the DPMS mode, don't play games with the last event time as this breaks applications using IDLETIME to turn the backlight off after a preset time. This patch fixes gnome-power-manager and xfce-power-manager. Previously gnome-power-manager was working around the idletime reset by setting a 1ms second timer and ignoring the first if there was a DPMS action in the last few ms. This was racey as hell, and it's probably best just to fix the X bug once and for all. The comment for TimeSinceLastInputEvent even says Function used for screensaver purposes by the os module. Returns the time in milliseconds since there last was any input. so it's clearly for use for screensavers and power managers rather than what's the last time of any action in the server. Patch attached. Please review. Tested, seems to work fine. Pushed as c1d901d723c3bee523736eacc15b44a7dff484fe, thanks for the patch!
