10:02 <@penberg> ahuillet: heh, heh, remember the tiling bug I mentioned on eeepc?
10:02 <@ahuillet> yes
10:02 <@penberg> ahuillet: it seems it's not fixed in mainline kernel
10:02 <@penberg> ahuillet: so I tested the patch
10:02 <@penberg> ahuillet: and everything works perfect!
10:02 <@ahuillet> I remember it well 'cause I need it fixed as well ;)
10:03 <@penberg> ahuillet: the patch is almost six months old!
10:03 <@ahuillet> oh, excellent
10:03 <@penberg> ahuillet: so I am making bit of a stink out of it on lkml
10:03 <@ahuillet> and it applied cleanly ?
10:03 <@ahuillet> shall I wait for your influence to get it included into mainline or do I apply it on 2.6.29.4 ? :)
10:03 <@penberg> ahuillet: no it didn't.
10:03 <@penberg> ahuillet: I can send you the patch if you want?
10:03 <@ahuillet> with pleasure
10:03 <@penberg> though it's against 2.6.30-rc8
10:04 <@penberg> hmm
10:05 <@penberg> ahuillet: http://www.laughingpanda.org/~penberg/eeepc/patches/
10:05 <@penberg> if they don't apply
10:05 <@penberg> then you should use the ones from ubuntu
10:05 <@ahuillet> thx
10:05 <@penberg> ahuillet: actually
10:05 <@ahuillet> I'll still need a correct MESA anyway, 7.4.2 does not seem to work too well
10:05 <@penberg> I'll just try to see if they apply to 2.6.29
10:06 <@penberg> ahuillet: right.
10:06 <@penberg> typical ubuntu kernel dev, btw.
10:06 <@penberg> they _know_ there's a serious bug
10:06 <@penberg> and have a patch for it
10:06 <@penberg> applied to their "testing" kernel
10:07 <@penberg> but don't bother cc'ing lkml :(
10:07 <@penberg> ahuillet: ok, my patches don't apply to 2.6.29
10:07 <@penberg> so use the originals
10:07 <@ahuillet> that's the debian philosophy
10:07 <@penberg> ahuillet: from here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/349314
10:07 <@ahuillet> "patch and don't let upstream know, we know better than them anyway"
10:07 <@penberg> ahuillet: sucks to be a kernel dev on debian distro ;)
10:08 <@penberg> because I simply _cannot_ rely on distro kernels.
10:08 <@penberg> ahuillet: ok, confirmed, the ubuntu ones apply to 2.6.29
10:08 <@ahuillet> thx
10:08 <@penberg> mine applies on 2.6.30-rc
10:08 <@penberg> ahuillet: does your webcam work btw?-)
10:08 <@penberg> mine is still missing
10:08 <@penberg> well, ok, lets be honest here
10:09 <@penberg> it's not _my_ laptop
10:09 <@penberg> it's my girlfriend
10:09 <@penberg> 's
10:09 <@ahuillet> you have to enable a module... let me check
10:09 <@penberg> which is why it's such a critical piece of hardware for me ;)
10:09 <@penberg> ahuillet: oh, cool!
10:09 <@ahuillet> critical, hehe
10:10 <@penberg> I mean, everything used to work fine with Xandros
10:10 <@penberg> but apparently Firefox froze every now and then
10:10 <@penberg> now I installed Ubuntu Jaunty
10:10 <@ahuillet> yeah, dumping Xandros isn't exactly easy if you want to keep everything working
10:10 <@penberg> so I am in a hurry to fix everything up ;)
10:10 <@ahuillet> CONFIG_USB_VIDEO_CLASS
10:11 <@penberg> I have that.
10:11 <@penberg> hmm
10:11 <@penberg> so it has to be some _specific_ webcam driver
10:11 <@ahuillet> mplayer -fps 15 tv:// says ?
10:11 <@penberg> I hope it's not out-of-tree one :(
10:11 <@penberg> just a sec
10:12 <@penberg> no mplayer installed
10:13 <@penberg> and I don't really have the disk space to do that ;)
10:13 <@penberg> aah!
10:13 <@penberg> http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Asus_Eee_PC_701#Webcam
10:13 <@ahuillet> anyway echo 1 > /sys/devices/platform/eeepc/webcam
10:13 <@ahuillet> */sys/devices/platform/eeepc/camera sorry
10:13 <@ahuillet> and that's it
10:14 <@ahuillet> echo 1 > /proc/acpi/asus/camera <- that's for the out of tree asus acpi thing
10:14 <@ahuillet> for the "real" asusacpi, it's /sys/devices/platform/eeepc/camera
10:14 <@penberg> I have "camera" there
10:14 <@penberg> no "webcam"
10:15 <@penberg> cool
10:15 <@penberg> it works now!
10:15 <@penberg> hmm, I wonder how I am supposed to enable that by default hmm.
10:16 <@penberg> kernel modification, I say ;)
10:18 <@penberg> ahuillet: thank you so much!
10:18 <@penberg> skype seems to work too now
10:18 <@penberg> I only need to support firefox + skype for now ;)
10:19 <@penberg> aha drivers/platform/x86/eeepc-laptop.c
10:32 <@penberg> aah
10:33 <@penberg> lets see if my patch actually works ;)
10:38 <@penberg> ahuillet: http://www.laughingpanda.org/~penberg/eeepc/patches/0003-eeepc-laptop-enable-camera-by-default.patch
10:38 <@penberg> I'll stop spamming #jato with my eeepc problems now ;)
10:38 <@ahuillet> I would recommend against that for power saving reasons
10:39 <@ahuillet> FWIW I made the same patch for wifi because I want it enabled by default, though :]
10:40 <@penberg> ahuillet: hmm.
10:40 <@penberg> ahuillet: so the solution would be to do what instead?
10:41 <@ahuillet> I don't know if it's possible to enable it automatically so if you need it I guess you can use one of the ACPI hotkeys
10:41 <@ahuillet> I have the hotkey for wifi so I disable it selectively when I need more battery life
10:41 <@penberg> ahuillet: again, I think _enabling_ is a better default.
10:42 <@ahuillet> as far as webcam is concerned, I could not care less about it anyway, so...
10:42 <@penberg> ahuillet: true.
10:42 <@ahuillet> best default is what the user wants ;)
10:42 <@penberg> ahuillet: of course.
10:42 <@ahuillet> so yes, it's kind of dumb to disable things by default
10:42 <@penberg> yup
10:43 <@penberg> especially as the error messages seen from userspace suck so much
10:43 <@penberg> I honestly thought there was no driver for the thing!
10:45 <@penberg> apparently I could use http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/utils/sysfsutils too.
10:51 <@ahuillet> I assume Ubuntu sets up automounting by default, right?
10:51 <@penberg> yup

11:29 < vegard> penberg: ok, I called fedex
11:29 < vegard> penberg: they said they tried to deliver me the package, but I wasn't at home
11:29 <@penberg> :)
11:29 < vegard> penberg: and that they tried to call me, but didn't get through
11:30 < vegard> penberg: of course, they had the wrong phone number, 41612720 instead of my real number 41512720
11:30 <@penberg> vegard: probably the contact details at google are wrong?
11:31 < vegard> nope, it's the correct one
11:31 < vegard> just checked
11:31 < vegard> my student profile has the right one anyway. don't know where else they might have gotten it.
11:31 < tgrabiec> penberg: i don't see pathes 1-4 in master
11:32 < vegard> by the way, the day they tried to deliver was the only day for the past two weeks that I wasn't at home
11:32 < vegard> it's really silly. but they will try to deliver it again on tuesday, and I'll be home for sure then.
11:34 <@penberg> tgrabiec: that's because I forgot to push!
11:34 <@penberg> done, thnx!
11:35 <@penberg> vegard: ok, cool ;)
11:35 < tgrabiec> penberg, thanks :)

14:38 <@penberg> ahuillet_: really?
14:39 < ahuillet_> yup
14:40 < ahuillet_> something around 15FPS in extremetuxracer
16:08 <@penberg> ahuillet_: http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/6/5/282
16:08 <@penberg> success!
16:08 <@penberg> (with the camera patch)
16:08 <@penberg> so finally you'll get it too ;)
16:08 < ahuillet_> any change you can get that accepted for wifi as well?
16:08 < ahuillet_> same problem exactly with rfkill, it's off by default
16:09 < ahuillet_> powertop won't give you an ACPI power usage estimate on eeePC though btw
16:09 <@penberg> ahuillet_: I should get a power usage measurement tool
16:09 <@penberg> physical tool.
16:09 <@penberg> ahuillet_: is it disabled?
16:09 <@penberg> ahuillet_: mine is enabled.
16:09 < ahuillet_> wifi by default ? yes as far as I can remember
16:09 < ahuillet_> oh, funny.
16:09 <@penberg> ahuillet_: it's enabled for me at least.
16:09 < ahuillet_> maybe it stays between reboots then
16:09 < ahuillet_> first time I booted it was off, I immediately patched the kernel
16:10 <@penberg> ahuillet_: no, it was enabled _by default_
16:10 < ahuillet_> so yeah, nvm
16:10 < ahuillet_> mmh, strange
16:10 < ahuillet_> it wasn't here
16:10 <@penberg> hmm
16:10 < ahuillet_> not that I care much anyway, it's a one liner
16:10 <@penberg> ahuillet_: was with Xandros?
16:10 < ahuillet_> no, vanilla 2.6.29.4
16:10 < ahuillet_> on arch linux
16:10 <@penberg> ahuillet_: but I mean, was it enabled when you were running Xandros?
16:10 <@penberg> ahuillet_: I am on 2.6.30-rc8. Maybe they fixed it?
16:10 < ahuillet_> yes, xandros had it enabled by default
16:10 < ahuillet_> but they were not using the rfkill thing
16:11 < ahuillet_> they were using their own /proc/asus stuff
16:11 < ahuillet_> penberg : I'll check that when .30 is out :)
16:11 <@penberg> ahuillet_: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=history;f=drivers/platform/x86/eeepc-laptop.c;h=353a898c3693facba59683b1f792150e3538d9cf;hb=HEAD
