01:23.41mallumjg: hey
01:23.55jgmallum: is for herses....
01:24.05mallumjg: hehe
01:24.24mallumjg: I got X CVS safely running on my machine :-)
01:24.42mallumjg: I can run it on another vt ... just cant switch back for some reason
01:24.49jgworks about 9 times out of 10.
01:25.27jgmallum: there are often bugs in the VT switching....
01:25.35mallumjg: yeah its always worked with tinyX for me and mac on linux which runs on seperate VT
01:25.42jgthe X server has to get out of the way, which can be tricky.
01:26.25mallumjg: I have tried with chvt yet .. only keys and I think remember reading on xpert that keys for that sort of thing were messed up
01:26.36mallums/have/haven't/
01:27.08mallumjg: currently poking around keithp's Xcursor library
01:27.33__morayon someone's machine I was setting up the other day X hung on any console switch - but I had little sympathy, given he was using the non-free NVidia drivers...
01:27.46__moray(when switching away from X, I mean, obviously)
01:28.29mallumyeah them nvidia drivers are a pandoras box
01:28.51jgyeah, unfortunately, that code is often buggy, no matter whixh driver
01:29.04__moraymeanwhile, on this machine X would probably work fine, if I could be bothered to find a mouse for it ;)
01:29.33mallum__moray: if you used matchbox you probably wouldn't need a mouse ;-)
01:29.53mallum__moray: that what I do on my server and just treat it like a prettier screen
01:30.11__morayjg: on Linux people appear to be divided on whether it's a good thing or not to use the kernel framebuffer stuff and get X to speak to that?
01:30.51jgmoray: fbdev hasn't been stable on lots of graphics hardware.
01:31.02__moraymallum: ah, I haven't tried matchbox on a machine with a keyboard yet - how do you switch windows? (or just tell me to RTM...)
01:32.14__morayjg: I don't tend to use it, but I can see the argument that in principle things could work better if X has a way of agreeing what's going on with the kernel via the FB stuff
01:32.27mallum__moray: well CVS matchbox you can define whatever key combo you want to page / close / launch apps etc
01:32.43mallum__moray: 0.3.6 can do it in a basic way
01:32.47__moraymallum: ok
01:33.21jg__moray: we use fbdev on the iPAQ.  It has been a "moving" target.
01:33.21jgonce it settles down, it may be good to use it.
01:33.32jgbut it hasn't been something you could count on.
01:33.38mallum__moray: you just start it with -mod ctrl for example and then ctrl-n will show you the next app / ctrl-p previous etc
01:33.54mallum__moray: its much better in cvs though
01:36.46__moraythe machine I've been playing with this evening appeared upset by the character set translation stuff when I was building libgpewidget - although this is potentially in part due to the en_AU translation supplied....
01:37.17__moray(doing the encoding translation 'manually' rather than via the Makefile got round it)
01:37.29mallumjg: its quite cool how the XCursor library is implemented in terms of working with existing XDefineCursor type calls
01:37.50jgmallum: yup.
01:37.59jgkeithp is clever.
01:38.06mallumjg: its probably more work adding stuff to the actual matchbox makefiles etc, than adding code
01:39.06mallumjg: do you know if keithp has written a tool to convert png's into xcursor files ?
01:40.45mallumjg: I could write one myself fairly easily but Im guessing keithp must have written something like that for himself to have created the XCursor files in the first place
01:40.55jgyeah, there is a tool "xcursorgen" if memory serves me.
01:41.32jgmallum: go look in programs/xcursorgen
01:42.07mallumjg: aha found it :-)
01:48.28jgmallum: happyness is cursor hacking, eh?
01:48.34jgyou can also animate studly cursors now.
01:50.07mallumjg: yeah I need that too
01:50.54mallumjg: I added startup notification support into matchbox so gtk 2.x apps get a busy cursor whilst starting
01:51.10mallumjg: at the moment its the crappy static watch cursor ....
01:55.02__moraymallum: surely you're supposed to have a huge 3D hourglass, with draining sand, which turns over to reset itself appropriately...? ;)
01:55.25__moraymallum: in fact, with the hourglass you get to have semi-transparent glass too...
01:55.29jg__moray: There is already such a cursor....
01:55.36__morayha, how did I guess :)
01:55.53jgthat turns over, and drops the sand...
01:56.02jgit stretched the limits of keithp's artistic skills.
01:56.27mallumhehe
01:56.31__moraywhoops, I shouldn't laugh so loudly, or I'll wake people up...
01:57.22mallumyeah tis getting late
01:57.29mallumbetter get some sleep ...
01:57.33mallumg'night all

11:48.18pb_bizarre.
11:48.26pb_what happens when you try to switch?
11:55.15mallumwell the keys have no effect - Im not sure if this is a CVS bug - IIRC there are current cvs issues with 'special' keys
11:55.37mallumpb_: and chvt just cause the screen to blank as if its doing the switch and then lock up :(
11:58.54pb_ah.
12:01.15mallumI have to build a new tinyX server - thats normally ok with VT switching
12:20.36mallumpb_: what macro is safer to use __func__ or __FUNCTION__ ?
12:20.48pb_don't think it makes much difference.

20:56.43BluefoxIcywhere is gtk-config? o.o
20:56.55pb_/usr/bin/gtk-config
20:57.12BluefoxIcyuhh
20:57.15BluefoxIcyit doesn't exist
20:57.44mallumpb_: is the license on this DFSG compliant -> http://zynaddsubfx.sourceforge.net/
20:58.48BluefoxIcydude I'm trying to compile xmms, and it can't find gtk >= 1.2.2, and I think that ./configure is looking for gtk-config (it says it is o.o), and I just reinstalled gtk 1.2.10-fam1
20:58.59pb_mallum: GPL?  I guess so.
20:59.51pb_mallum: vague threats about dire consequences if you "make music that is against God and Jesus" don't disqualify a package as far as I know :-}
21:00.21pb_BluefoxIcy: the gtk package only contains the runtime libraries, you need the development files.
21:00.38BluefoxIcyahh I installed gtk-dev (forced actually, it wants dpkg)
21:00.40mallumpb_: hehe
21:01.42BluefoxIcywants xlibs-dev and pkg-config...

22:47.12pb__ah right.
22:47.36jgpb_: remaining question is what sort of anesthesia
22:48.05pb__aha.
22:48.39pb__do you get to choose, or is it just a case of waiting to find out what they select for you?

22:54.03floriangood night
22:54.17pb__florian: g'night
22:55.04jggeneral, spinal, or regional.
22:55.04jgI get a say in the decision.
22:55.04jgNot obvious to me what to do.
22:55.51florianpb__: btw looks nice...
23:00.11pb__jg: ah, I see.  well, general sounds to me like something best avoided, though I don't know much about the relative merits of other two.
23:02.16jgpb_: spinal is good, except for spinal headaches that sometimes happen (I saw my wife have one).  regional may or may not aggravate the peripheral neuropathy I have.  General has its problems, particularly for those with  marginal airways like mine (though my surgery last year makes that much less of an issue).  Not obvious at all....
23:11.19pb__jg: mmm, sounds complicated.
23:36.53mallumpb_: your shape mask is off ?
23:41.44pb__mallum: so it seems, though I don't really understand how that is happening.
23:42.26mallumpb_is the code in cvs ?
23:42.43pb__mallum: yes
23:43.15mallumpb_: also I've been offered one of these sharp sl-c700's ( for a price ) but with jap only os
23:43.39pb_mallum: oh right, neat.
23:43.41mallumpb_: what do you think the chances are of me getting X on it
23:44.23pb_mallum: fairly good, I guess.
23:45.10pb_mallum: I would expect the fbdev Xserver to "just work", though the touchscreen might be more of a problem.
23:47.10mallumpb_: yeah Im more concerned about it having a japanese qte installed, does that mean geting a term in it all the binarys will have japanese names ...?
23:47.42pb_mallum: I doubt the binaries will actually be named in Japanese on disk.
23:48.43mallumpb_: yeah, the keyboard is english -> http://www.zdnet.co.jp/mobile/0211/12/l_za2.jpg
23:49.01pb_mallum: yes, Japanese machines still use qwerty keyboards.
