Oh indeed ... which pragmatically implies the "dual" economic
imperative,

(4) lacking significant paying customer base demanding removal of
classic multiscreen support...

Yes, indeed and I thought that this was clear from the wording. The word
'organization' referred to PaPal as a company which I - as a non native speaker
- consider to be some form of organization as opposed to an individual.

Re: Problems Compiling from Git

2010-02-18 Thread ace102

What kind of hardware are building it for?

If you're using nVidia(and their binary) you can use --disable-glx with the
xserver .config/autogen.sh and you won't need to build libGL/mesa at all.
There's some switches(.config --help) in Mesa which you should look at to
see what you need to build specifically for as far as drivers/swrast goes.

Re: Board voting ends today, but...

2010-02-18 Thread John Tapsell
Hi Guys,

  In meat space, I've now had 2 people telling me that they've voted
in a certain way because they are really concerned about the "missing
money".  This is a very high figure, given that I'm a nobody and I
don't even know any current X developers in person!

  Reading this thread, I'm not personally concerned, but please
remember that there are quite a few people following all of this and
talking about it in the real world and that you'll need to get "get
the word out" when it is all resolved and accounted for.

I didn't mean to imply that, quite the opposite actually. I for one am
certainly grateful that X.Org funded my trip and lodging at XDS 2007.

Considering that:
- there is so much money in the bank (about 3 times what you need for
XDS 2007, *hint* *hint*),
- giving wide sponsorship makes these conferences better by gathering
more people
- the current economy does not help with funding conference trips
neither for the professional devs nor for the spare-time devs,
my opinion, and the point I was trying to make, is that we should have
more like that one...

Daniel, I read Egberts statement regarding pocketing money referring to
PayPal, not you. Egbert may be able to clear that up, but my gess is this

Yes, there are similar web sites about almost every company doing business
with a wider group of people or at least having some sort of public exposure.

Has anyone ever tried to contact Karen, X.Org's legal counsel at the time
and asked about this?

Again, nobody is blaming you - neither for the amount of money spent nor 
for choosing PaypPal.

We're not discussing that because this is precisely the things that
the board should _not_ decide. Development in X.Org is done by people
from different horizons, and they do what they want/what their
employer asks for (keep in mind we're talking about many different
companies and also hobbyists). The board is merely a means to help
them get to their goals.

I'm pretty uncomfortable with the suggestion here.  No, wait, very
uncomfortable.  (Not to mention that if any misuse of funds _did_ go on
here, then it sucks to be me, because if that was the case, then I got
not a single cent from my complicity.)

No, not really.  If you read PayPal's T&Cs, it's mostly along the lines
of 'we're entitled to all your money if we feel like it', and it turns
out that they felt like it.  I'd hoped to use Google Checkout
originally, but had misread its T&Cs, which led me to believe that we
were not eligible to use it -- turns out this wasn't actually true.  So,
again, mea culpa for being daft enough to use PayPal in the first place.

http://www.paypalsucks.com and others have a litany of horror stories
about PayPal pocketing cash from accounts they thought may have been
vaguely kind of suspicious.

No argument that we should've been and should be vastly more
transparent.

5000USD is surely enough to take legal action to recover.

The X.Org Foundation (and its BOD) has no control over the technical
direction though - other than that members that are often also active
developers. Any plan for the foundation should rather include spending
plans, future conferences, etc. instead of technical details.

This is actually interesting and it supports my feeling how finances
are handled and why I have given up doing any accounting.

But maybe I'm wrong and I only have this feeling because things work
differently in the EU than in the US where an organization is able to
to pocket ones money by making false claims.

It's not as if X.Org didn't have a legal counsel - I would have expected 
that with the help of this the issue with PayPal could have been resolved
and the money been refunded.

I don't think anyone is putting any blame on you as the organizer
of the event.
After all there was a justifiable reason for all the expenses and
there is no point arguing now if things could have been done at lower
costs.
It is more the intransparency of things which create an uncomfortable
feeling among some of the people here.

For this one, you should revert commit
d6f55492af3cb82b0113fe6beac0f3494b6e2956. trap and exit on ERR
shouldn't be used blindly since it's entirely possible there are
commands that safely fail in mklib. Not to mention that it's not
portable.

Sorry Daniel,

It's the Board's responsibility, and within the Board that of the Treasurer 
who is responsible for representing to the Board the current financial 
position of X.Org.

If it was successful, value received for money spent, you deserve credit for 
proposing it. If it was financially insupportable, it was the responsibility 
of the Board to reject the proposal.

As far as I can tell (and I've not looked hard, because I'd like to

$US24k for travel sponsorship (no joke), and something like $US5k lost
to PayPal (they decided we were scammers and took our money) as well as
around $US5k that vanished into the Brazilian banking system, which
gives us $US45k for one conference.

FWIW a fair chunk of that money went into XDS 2007. If you recall we
had a nice conference place and X.Org paid for hosting and trip for a
big number of people (which is also why the event grew so big and was
so successful, we never had such a big venue before and since then).

These grabs are a PITA anyway, even when not using MPX. Once you've opened 
a menu or a drop-down list, you can't do anything else. Can't switch focus,
WM shortcuts not working, etc. You have to hit ESC or click somewhere to
get control back.

So the real solution would be to fix the toolkits to not grab.

or (3) have paying customers who want it to be supported, so it's
worth them spending the time needed on it?   (I have no knowledge
of whether that's the case or not, it just seems like an obvious
possibility that you overlooked, since Nvidia pays developers to
work on Xorg drivers because it brings in revenue for them.)

Board voting ends today, but...

2010-02-18 Thread Luc Verhaegen
Since voting is officially ending today I have cast my votes just now...
but i did not at all feel comfortable doing so.

While we did start to get some insights in the Boards doings of the past 
year, these insights are very limited indeed.

There are no transcripts nor minutes of meetings. Irc meetings are 
supposed to be free and open now, but the first one to become free was 
the one from this tuesday.

There is little to no information about the X.org Foundation Boards 
financial handlings. Several years ago, several companies (at least one, 
Sun) deposited a lot of money into the foundation. It seems that the 
foundation had 222k usd at the start of 2007; and we have 125k usd 
today. We are not getting many details on how these funds were used, and 
we only get some very general statements about how these funds were used 
in the last year. And it seems that nobody on the actual board of 
directors has anything but some hazy ideas of what is going on.

All of this makes me extremely uneasy, especially since we have to vote 
on a partial replacement of this board, right now.

Is there anyone else who, that with the information that has now become 
available, would like to alter their vote? Is there anyone here who 
thinks that he has not enough information available today to be able to 
vote at all?

Thanks,

Luc Verhaegen.

Which could simply mean that they have a larger ratio of developer
resources to work items.

> (2) don't discriminate less widespread X11-technology use cases?

This is certainly not true.  Pretty much any driver team will
"discriminate against less widespread X11-technology use cases".  As
long as you have two or more things you want to do, it is a safe bet
that one of them will have higher priority than the other.  And I think
it is a safe bet that widely used features will tend to have higher
priority than little used features.


There could also be technical reasons why it is easier to maintain
zaphod mode in the nvidia driver.  Maybe their architecture made it easy
to implement proper xrandr support without breaking zaphod.

Or maybe it's just that some of their engineers actually use zaphod and
thus fixes the problems when they show up.

Is it correct to deduce, nvidia software engineers either

(1) are not busy, or
(2) don't discriminate less widespread X11-technology use cases?

(Looking statistically computer users on the planet run windows
anyways, so following this argument why fiddle with X11 at all,
then?)  :-)
