| [13:28] <directhex> okay then. evdev_drv. | |
| [13:29] <directhex> for whatever reason, an unmolested xorg is deciding that this mouse is a simple 5-button (i.e. left right plus clickwheel) mouse. this is wrong. i know i've had it right in the past, with mangled xorg | |
| [13:29] <directhex> question is, why's it wrong and what can i do about it? | |
| [13:37] <jcristau> what does /proc/bus/input/devices say about that mouse? | |
| [13:38] <jcristau> also evtest on that device (/dev/input/eventX) | |
| [13:56] <directhex> jcristau, http://paste.debian.net/45132/ | |
| [13:56] <directhex> jcristau, i need to kill X for evtest don't i | |
| [13:57] <jcristau> shouldn't be necessary these days | |
| [13:57] <directhex> the evtest command certainly lists more buttons than xev is responding to | |
| [13:57] <directhex> Event code 275 (SideBtn) | |
| [13:57] <directhex> Event code 6 (HWheel) | |
| [13:57] <directhex> and so on | |
| [13:57] <jcristau> except for synaptics devices, but even then vt switching should be sufficient | |
| [13:58] <directhex> http://paste.debian.net/45133/ | |
| [13:58] <jcristau> what version of evdev is this btw? | |
| [14:05] <directhex> jcristau, whatever ships in jaunty | |
| [14:06] <directhex> jcristau, and i think i see where it's going wrong... the mouse device (event6) is not actually registering anything at all. the mouseemu device (event5) is - but it lacks buttons | |
| [14:06] <directhex> i have no idea what or why mouseemu is | |
| [14:07] <directhex> wait, that was it... purging the mouseemu package | |
| [14:07] <directhex> so why on earth was that installed, and why does it break multi-button support? | |
| [14:11] <tjaalton> because you installed it? nothing depends on it | |
| [14:11] <tjaalton> make that "no package" | |
| [14:11] <directhex> i definitely didn't explicitly install it | |

| [14:16] <directhex> officially not my fault | |
| [14:17] <tjaalton> it's a laptop? | |
| [14:18] <directhex> no, it's not - but it might have been misdetected as such? | |
| [14:18] <tjaalton> could be | |

| [14:19] <directhex> d-i/source/hw-detect/hw-detect.sh:# Install mouseemu on systems likely to have single-button mice | |
| [14:19] <directhex> ..... | |
| [14:20] <tjaalton> heh | |
| [14:21] <directhex> what a naive check | |
| [14:21] <tjaalton> so file a bug against hw-detect | |
| [14:21] <jcristau> it's stupid that installing that package breaks a real mouse though.. | |
| [14:21] <tjaalton> it is | |
| [14:22] <directhex> it seems the package's priority is to add buttons to a 1-button mouse. i doubt they tested it in a 9-button scenario | |
| [14:27] <directhex> tjaalton, in your opinion, better to file a bug against hw-detect regarding installing mouseemu inappropriately, or against mouseemu for breaking multi-button mice? | |
| [14:30] <ScottK> directhex: I vote for both. | |
| [14:32] <directhex> ScottK, ja wol! | |
| [14:49] <directhex> Bug #419935 filed | |
| [14:49] <ubottu> Launchpad bug 419935 in hw-detect "hw-detect wants to install mouseemu on Mac when it really shouldn't" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/419935 | |
| [15:55] <tjaalton> yeah, that works | |

| [20:37] <jg> afternoon bryce | |
| [20:37] <bryce> jg, hello | |
| [20:38] <jg> bryce: I see you inflicted new bits on me this afternoon... | |
| [20:39] <jg> bryce: so far, so good... | |
| [20:40] <jg> bryce: I thought glxgears was supposed to end up getting throttled to VR... | |
| [20:45] <jbarnes> it'll go faster if it can render frames faster than refresh | |
| [20:45] <jbarnes> but it shouldn't tear | |
| [20:46] <jg> jbarnes: ah, thanks. | |
| [20:47] <jg> jbarnes: I see no tearing. | |

| [23:32] <LLStarks> hey bryce. does shutterworth's word overrule a 'denied for karmic'? | |
| [23:32] <bryce> LLStarks, eh? | |

| [23:33] <LLStarks> from mark with love. | |
| [23:34] <bryce> jeeze | |
| [23:35] <bryce> jbarnes, hey, where are we at with the dri2 swapbuffer stuff? | |
| [23:35] <jbarnes> bryce: just updated that bug :) | |
| [23:35] <jbarnes> LLStarks pointed me at it | |
| [23:37] <bryce> jbarnes, how mature is the stuff? Is it currently pretty stable or would it destabilize things a lot if we merged it right now? | |
| [23:37] <jbarnes> I wouldn't recommend it for karmic | |
| [23:40] <jbarnes> bryce: it would be good to have in edgers though | |
| [23:40] <jbarnes> but I'd just wait until it lands | |
| [23:40] <jbarnes> shouldn't be long now before those branches are merged into master of the various repos | |
| [23:41] <LLStarks> if i was to use the bits that are already implemented and then supplement the dri2 branches from proto and xserver, would that be sufficient for a testing enviroment? | |
| [23:43] <jbarnes> yeah that should be enough | |
