Hi 2.6.23 packages built + modules issues: fglrx is not working and lirc needs probably to change to cvs again to compile. The rest was compilable, when should i checkin to testing? breaking ati cards in testing is it worth the trouble or delay it? thanks greetings tpowa -- Tobias Powalowski Archlinux Developer & Package Maintainer (tpowa) http://www.archlinux.org tpowa@archlinux.org

fglrx in testing is broken anyway, due to xorg 7.3. -- Roman Kyrylych (Роман Кирилич)

What's the status on fglrx anyway? Has Travis done any further tests or research on when it will be fixed upstream? I second Roman's opinion, just push it out to testing. :) Cheers, -F

Xorg 7.3 (and AIGLX) support, afaik, is supposed to be in the next release, which will be sometime this month if they keep up their release schedule. Kernel 2.6.23 support, however, I haven't found very much detail about at all. There's a patch for the -mm fglrx (8.40.4, not 8.41) in [unstable]'s CVS that allowed it to build - that might work for the 2.6.23 kernel as well, although it was a user-made patch, so it may not be perfect. I suggest giving that a shot, and if it doesn't work, push the kernel to testing anyway. -- Travis

Can we please make sure we look for newer patches for our external patches? Specifically unionfs. I know they've got a patch against 2.6.23-rc8, it's much less likely to cause problems than the patch against 2.6.22.9, even if the old patch applies cleanly (that's very likely due to the fact that most of the patch is new files, it'll always be pretty clean). Thanks, -Simo

Yeah, not a problem, just something I picked up looking over the diff. Maybe add it back in on the next release but don't worry about it for now. -Dan

Just wanted to say everything is working 100% here, I'm running kernel26 and nvidia from testing. Not sure if it is just the placebo effect but things do seem a bit faster/more-responsive with the new CFS scheduler. -Dan

I didn't check lirc yet, and don't know if I can during the next days. I have this problem, but couldn't debug further than mentioned in the report. If anyone can help, I would appreciate it: http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/8289

I've filed a bug report for missing sk98lin module. http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/8293
