Stuff Michael Meeks is doing
|
|
This is my (in)activity log. You might like to visit my employer
Novell which is an amazing company, and also
Dell who in days of yore provided me with a
free laptop for Gnome development / conferences.
Also if you have the time to read this sort of stuff you could enlighten
yourself by going to Unraveling Wittgenstein's net or if
you are feeling objectionable perhaps here.

- Up early, poked at a horrendous b-a-s deadlock, exacerbated
by an un-diagnosed re-connection issue, hmm. Chewed & spewed mail,
filed bugs.
- Got the GeodeLX xorg driver to do it's bit, at least some
things are accelerated now, and a higher-res screen too.
- Poked at metacity, hacked up the client composite version
detection for cow / named windows & sent to Thomas. Poked at gdm
apparently there were a load of XDMCP fixes for horrific breakage that
we missed in SL10.3, filed bug.
- Apparently the hideous fglrx external monitor driver bugs
are un-fixable, and pessimism reigns: the joys of closed-source
drivers. Switching to radeonhd looks like an attractive option.
- Dinner, J. out for lunch, conference call with Rich, Guy
& co. call with Guy & David Reveman afterwards: an expert's
insight into compositing problems.
In case it's not painfully obvious: the reflections reflected here are my
own; mine, all mine ! and don't reflect the views of Novell, The
Lithuanian Gov't or Arnold Schwarzenegger. It's also important to
realise that I'm not in on the Swedish Conspiracy.
Occasionally people ask for formal photos for conferences,
bio.
or fun.
