h4waiiMohammadAG51; Not fixed, thusfar.00:04
tobis87daleglass: You did run depmod? Maybe it is just unstable with the power kernel or it does not lookup the module options in modprobe.d? You could try to delete the module with the rescue kernel http://wiki.meego.com/ARM/N900/Using_Rescue_Initrd but I have not tried this yet.00:06

daleglasstobis87: hm, that flashes the kernel though. I don't think it leaves the normal one in place?00:12
daleglassand that's a meego wiki, too00:12
h4waiiWhat's the issue?00:13
*** rcg1 has quit IRC00:13
tobis87"NOTE: Here we do not flash the kernel or initrd to the device,  but only load them to the device memory during the boot. Original images  are restored when the device is restarted. "00:13
daleglassI screwed up the boot scripts a bit too much, so I'm going to flash it00:13
daleglassah, hm00:14
tobis87But flashing should be more safe, since "WARNING: Improper use or installation of the image may harm your device"00:14
*** kwtm has quit IRC00:15
meceI'm more into mooning than flashing, to be quite honest.00:15
*** Tuco11 has joined #maemo00:15
h4waiiMooning will arouse males and females, if done properly.00:15
meceexactly!00:16
h4waiiIt's a win-win situation.00:16
*** kwtm has joined #maemo00:16
meceand on that bombshell, it's time to say goodnight.00:16
daleglasswhat about streaking?00:16
h4waiiThat's just gross dude.00:16
*** mece has left #maemo00:16
tobis87thank you guys, I now know what mooning means... :-D00:16
h4waiiYou're a real pervert, daleglass00:16
*** guardian has joined #maemo00:17
daleglassh4waii: I'll have to agree with that, being a furry and all ;-)00:17
*** guardian has quit IRC00:18

ieatlintfurries are just disturbed people00:20
MohammadAG51h4waii, fixed for me00:20
DocScrutinizermeh, writing to MyDocs seems to freeze device every time. Funny sidenote: even my desktop had one CPU core 100% busy with wa, in USB ass rage mode. N900 100% busy wa, ssh now frozen on starting htop, after it been working long time unaffected by even system tray clock stopped00:21
DocScrutinizernow... "it's dead, Jim!" :-(00:21
MNZmath help needed: how would I convert from a frequency range (ex. 1mHz to 2mHz) into octaves?00:23
MohammadAG51h4waii, so?00:23
*** mrmoku is now known as mrmoku|away00:24
tobis87mece: btw, do you have found out why you're modified libhildonfm likes to restart the device?00:24
DocScrutinizeroctave = freq * 200:24
lcukMNZ, wikipedia00:24
daleglassieatlint: I'm not going to argue that I'm pretty weird, whatever is the word that best describes my kind of it, heh00:24
lcukhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octave00:24
DocScrutinizererr octave = 200:24
lcukFor example, if one note has a frequency of 400 Hz, the note an octave above it is at 800 Hz, and the note an octave below is at 200 Hz. The ratio of frequencies of two notes an octave apart is therefore 2:1. Further octaves of a note occur at 2n times the frequency of that note (where n is an integer), such as 2, 4, 8, 16, et00:25
*** guardian has quit IRC00:25
DocScrutinizerso f` = f0 * 1octave = f0 * 200:25
ieatlintdaleglass: sorry, i don't mean to be offensive, but when someone tells me they are actually an animal in a human body, it exceeds my level of wanting to deal with it00:26
ieatlintand i've met just too many furries at parties and such00:26
MNZso double the frequency = difference of one octave. I just can't go from there to 'arbitrary difference in frequency = x octaves'00:27
daleglassieatlint: eh, I don't get that much into it. I just like the esthetics to put it in some way00:27
tobis87about audio sampling and other interesting stuff: http://xiph.org/video/vid1.shtml00:28
lcukbah ieatlint live and let live, some people wear business suits, some people wear shell suits, some people wear diving suits and others wear furry suits00:28
ieatlintdressing up is fine..00:28
DocScrutinizerMNZ: f1 *2^x = f200:28
ieatlintit's just the psychological part that is simply ... ergh, not sure i want to put a name on it00:29
*** drizztbsd_ has joined #maemo00:29
MNZDocScrutinizer, thanks00:30
*** drizztbsd_ has quit IRC00:31
lcukmeh ieatlint, theres bigger problems in the world than worrying what other people are upto00:31
*** drizztbsd has quit IRC00:32
ieatlintheh, more of an issue that i've dealt with people trying to convince me they're a squirrel than me trying to convince them they're not00:32
*** marciom has quit IRC00:32
*** setanta has quit IRC00:33
lcukieatlint, why would you try to convince them they arent?00:33
ieatlinti didn't00:34
lcukspeaking of which00:34
ieatlintone learns very quickly to not try and convince people who think bizarre things that they are wrong00:34
lcuki have a massive craving for peanuts now00:35
DocScrutinizerpffft, had to rip out battery00:35
DocScrutinizershit!00:35
DocScrutinizernow awaiting damaged VFAT00:36
daleglasspeople believe all kinds of bizarre things, hehe00:36
* MohammadAG51 always restarts his N900 that way00:36
daleglassI'm hoping the otakukin aren't real00:36
DocScrutinizerMohammadAG51: you always got CPU @ 100% waiting for IO?00:37
DocScrutinizeraka massively writing to eMMC?00:37
MohammadAG51yeah, my tracker kicks in when battery's low00:37
*** e-yes has quit IRC00:38

*** jpinx has quit IRC00:40
h4waiiMohammadAG51 - reboot after modest update isn't required. I restarted MCE - still no joy.00:41
MohammadAG51did you update the repos?00:41
*** jpinx has joined #maemo00:41
MohammadAG51i'm sure it works mate00:41
MohammadAG51ii  modest         3.90.7-2       an e-mail client for platforms with modest r00:42
h4waiiI'm manually grabbing the package. I'm not using your meta package, so I have to edit the version in the control file00:42
h4waii-dbg isn't required, is it?00:42
MohammadAG51nope00:43
MohammadAG51why not use the repo though?00:43
*** sivang has quit IRC00:44
h4waiiI'm just a stickler like that.00:45
*** jpe has quit IRC00:45
h4waiiThere we go.00:45
h4waiiplugin package version was wrong. Works now. Thanks for fixing it.00:46
*** jreznik has joined #maemo00:46
DocScrutinizermeh, I was about to copy 1.2GB of mp3 from uSD to MyDocs, via mass storage mode. It created the folders on eMMC but didn't copy a single file, though device had *some* life until ~30min after I started the copy00:47
DocScrutinizerwonder if my eMMC flash is borked00:48

*** murrayc has quit IRC00:50
DocScrutinizerlast time I tried similar thing directly on N900 xterm, with similar result - complete freeze after several minutes00:50
*** benh has joined #maemo00:50
*** ptlo has quit IRC00:51
h4waiiWhat a bad idea that is.00:51
h4waiiuSD -> eMMC is pure agony.00:51
DocScrutinizeruhuh00:52
DocScrutinizerso you suggest I fill the eMMC from /dev/urandom, or what?00:52
h4waiiI like psaux00:52
daleglasstobis87: bah, it doesn't seem to be useful. It boots, but no backlight, and automatically reboots after about 5 seconds00:52

MohammadAG51h4waii, np00:57
DocScrutinizerI bet Nokia has used 1GB eMMC that simply reports 32GB and brings device to a grinding halt on any serious effort to use more then the 1GB actually existent00:57
tobis87daleglass: Oh, that is bad you will have to reflash.00:58
daleglasstobis87: doing that, yeah. A pain, but ah well.01:00
nox-DocScrutinizer, i once downloaded and gunzip'd a 200 MB-or-so file on mydocs, that also took _quite_ a while...  (not the downloading)01:02
*** NGNUton-B has joined #maemo01:02
DocScrutinizerjust started a new try: cp 10.2GB from laptop to MyDocs via USB01:03
kerioDocScrutinizer: lol01:03
kerioeven when disabling the tracker?b01:03
DocScrutinizerlol????01:03
*** rd has quit IRC01:03
keriobecause i remember i had much better results by copying on a non-tracked dir01:03
DocScrutinizerkerio: wtf are those 32GB for?01:03
keriothen i swiftly mved the files01:03
*** GNUton-BNC has quit IRC01:03
kerioand then i deleted tracker's db because fuck tracker01:03
h4waiiI thought tracker can't crawl a directory when it's in UMS01:04
DocScrutinizerbah tracker - I killed tracker months ago01:04
keriolol01:04
*** Funnyface has quit IRC01:04
kerioh4waii: 'twas rsync01:04
h4waiiOh :S01:04
keriobtw, os x fucks up the encoding when mounting with the usb cable01:04
nox-oh yeah the tracker/imageviewer also chewed quite some resources when i tried to put a html tree on the device, ended up using zipfiles + a python httpd hack...01:05
DocScrutinizerHELL!!!! 16%01:05

*** vanadismobile has joined #maemo01:06
kerioDocScrutinizer: did you find a cause for the ridiculously slow copy?01:06
h4waiiI talked with the author of that article at Nokia World01:06
h4waiiHe's the only decent Engadget writer01:06
DocScrutinizerno01:07
*** jrocha has quit IRC01:07
keriocould it be that he's swapping while copying?01:07
DocScrutinizermaybe accessing uSD and eMMC concurrently is making it barf01:07
keriotry doing a swapoff :)01:07
h4waiiLOL01:07
h4waiiC'mon, it's shit IO.01:08
daleglasswell, it booted. I'll mess with it more later.01:08
*** ptlo has joined #maemo01:08
kerioit is :(01:08
DocScrutinizer30% 4.0 of 13.201:08
nox-DocScrutinizer, i get some 1.5 MB/s scp'ing from/to the device iirc, maybe umass isnt really faster...01:10

DocScrutinizerdone - 100% of 13.2GB01:23
DocScrutinizerseems it's not the writing to eMMC but the reading from uSD that was the real problem?01:24
sivangirc session got hung up before- so backup /home an /MyDocs and I am good to go with reflashing for 1.2?01:24
DocScrutinizersivang: you don't need to reflash eMMC VANILLA image for a mere PR1.2 update01:25
DocScrutinizerso neither your /home nor MyDocs will suffer01:26
sivangDocScrutinizer: okay, but I need to make enough room on rootfs for the OTA upgrade for pass?01:26
DocScrutinizersivang: you flash COMBINED image which has rootfs, and done01:26
DocScrutinizernot if you're flashing01:27
DocScrutinizerfor OTA you might run into problems when too low free space on rootfs, yes01:27
*** etrunko has quit IRC01:28
DocScrutinizerbut given the OTA SSU takes hours while a flashing plus restore apps from backup utility takes few minutes, I'd think twice01:28
SpeedEvilOn packaging format debates: http://xkcd.com/01:29
nox-OTA SSU doesnt take hours if you do it via (fast enough) wifi link btw01:29
nox-(or at least i dont remember waiting that long... :)01:30
DocScrutinizerthe hildon backup app does a pretty good job on restoring virtually all of your settings and apps after flashing. You'll lose anything installed via apt-get though01:30

*** DrGrov has left #maemo01:47
*** wazd has quit IRC01:48
sivangnox-: the dist archive?01:48

nox-disk archiver yeah01:49
* nox- just looked up hubackup and saw it uses that...01:49
sivangnox-: ah it was stable back then even01:50
sivangnox-: and it ubunut's main01:50
sivangnox-: but bindings for python were, how to say it? mostly inexistant01:50
nox-i c :)01:50
sivangnox-: so I used spawning and subproc controlling through pexpect which works nice01:50
nox-btw can it use xz yet?01:51
sivangnox-: xz?01:51
nox-compression01:51
nox-lzma based01:51
nox-http://tukaani.org/xz/01:51
sivangI don't recall what dar uses but it does some really strong compression if you ask it to01:54
sivangzip based or so01:54
*** MikeK has quit IRC01:55
*** Chiku has quit IRC01:56
sivangI am actually inclined to reflashj to learn how to do it the next time I may need it, is it better to OTA than reflash if one only needs OTA?01:57
*** auenfx4 has quit IRC01:57
lcukn900sivang good idea, like a scout :)01:59
*** BCMM has quit IRC02:00
sivanglcukn900: yes, sooner or later, with all my planned tinkering with having a non one time run of meego on my device, I should know how to do it02:02
sivanglcukn900: as probably the reason I did not need it till now is that lack of tinkering, but I did install anything I could get my hands on from either OVI or extras-testing etc.02:03
sivanghmm, only one things remains- m joikuspot license02:03
sivanghow can I maintain it?02:03
sivangit is somehow installed into the software /me checks settings file02:04
*** gomiam has joined #maemo02:04

*** srw has quit IRC02:16
nox-sivang, xz homepage at the bottom says there are python bindings...02:16
*** crashanddie has quit IRC02:18
sivangnox-: nice, maybe I can use it to revive hubackup. Dar's autogenerated swig bindings never really worked.02:18
sivangnox-: one of the issues that made us sease development so far.02:19
*** lsm5 has quit IRC02:20
* sivang wonders why the flashing docs talks both about eMMC and rootfs flashing.02:20
nox-i dont remember the details of dar, but maybe it would have to be teached about xz itself since it also does indexing etc...02:20
sivangis it not enough to just flash rootfs?02:20
*** lsm5 has joined #maemo02:20
sivangnox-: I was actually thinking of using the libzma bindings for a non dar usage.02:21
sivangnox-: like using it solely to achive the backups02:21
nox-ooh02:21
sivangnox-: dar is wonderful, but there's already kdar, and using it as we do now through spawning and subprocess caters mostly for backup, restore process cannot really happen through this approach02:22
sivangnox-: the restore process is much more complicated and requires much more user intervention, hence better to use something inprocess instead.02:22
nox-hm maybe it was also kdar that i tried that segfaulted...02:22
sivangnox-: hehe, I knew there was some problem with this in some libdar version02:23
*** MadViking has quit IRC02:23
sivangnox-: it got manifested into hubackup ofcourse, made the pygtk gui hang02:23
*** LjL has joined #maemo02:23
nox-but now kdar `should work'?02:23
sivangnox-: I guess there was some issue in some versino of the lib, and it is now fixed.02:24
*** MadViking has joined #maemo02:24
nox-ok02:24
nox-whats the difference between kdar and your one?02:24
sivangnox-: I think it works , yes, I don't know people who ise it personally, but I'm sure it is popular in KDE02:24
sivangnox-: so mine is dead simple, or at least tries to be (I succeded in doing that for the backup process actually, and people use it to backup even though GUI restore is not working)02:25
sivangnox-: kdar, is you know, bells and whistles as known in KDE :-)02:25
sivangnox-: lots of features, things to decide upon02:25
nox-ah02:25
nox-(sorry for being ot btw)02:25
sivangah right, we are :)02:26
sivangoops02:26
sivangnox-: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/hubackup-backup-application-for-ubuntu-home-users.html02:26
sivangnox-: the main dialog is , stupidily simple? :)02:26
sivangI should really revive this tool, shame to see it bit rot.02:26
sivangmaybe a Qt based (-KDE?) tool to remain dead simple and use dar's C++ lib02:27
*** johnsq has quit IRC02:27
sivangas a complement to kdar.02:27
*** dailylinux has quit IRC02:28
sivangnox-: I went so far to automatically calculate the slices size for the user based on the target media he is trying to use02:28
*** dailylinux has joined #maemo02:28
sivangnox-: kdar is not too complicated, but I for one refrained from asking the user if he wants to do a "differentia" backup, assuming a new user to ubuntu or os, would not really know what it measn and could be more assisted by simple language and no bac02:29
sivangnox-: not backup lingo02:29
sivangnox-: as an example..02:29

SpeedEvilThis - sort-of is useful for making categories.04:34
SpeedEvilhowever - is rthere any alternative - other than catorise - which has issues apparantly with battery saving.04:34
SpeedEvilI'm specifically wondering how I can sort apps that are not in folders with apmefo04:34

DocScrutinizerSpeedEvil: ??05:10
DocScrutinizerI'm quite ok with ApMeFo. And the battery hog issue is common to catorise and ApMeFo, cause it's a hildon desktop bug05:11
DocScrutinizerthat shows only on windows that are supposed to scroll but actually too 'short' to scroll any direction.05:12
*** panaggio has quit IRC05:13
DocScrutinizerthe balistic scrolling - or what ever it's called - keeps running cyrcles bouncing up and down the window 0.0000points05:13
DocScrutinizersorting kinda interferes with ApMeFo, but when I tested it once, I only had to start the ApMeFo config gui and 'save', to fix the mess. Maybe in subfolders it's different, one way or the other05:15
DocScrutinizersubmenus even05:15

SpeedEvilAh - not hit that bug05:18
lcukDocScrutinizer, many dynamic systems can get into that situation05:18
* lcuk has one now05:18
SpeedEvilyeah - I can 'fix' it - with either folders or sorting, but I want both.05:19
SpeedEvilCurrently messing with vi.05:19
*** dvarnes has quit IRC05:20
DocScrutinizerconsidering how sorting works, I'd guess it can coexist with submenus05:20
*** pinheiro_ has quit IRC05:21
DocScrutinizerit's just the sorting process ruins the subfolder .desktops (my take on it), but ApMeFo doesn't ruin sorting05:21
DocScrutinizertbh it SHOULD get integrated into HSM05:22
DocScrutinizerHDM*05:22

*** bef0rd has joined #maemo05:23
*** bef0rd has joined #maemo05:23
SpeedEvilI can gret sorting and folders  - but the folders are 'included' and I can't work out how to get them to the top05:23
DocScrutinizererm, sorting the folders might be tricky. Look into an arbitrary .desktop, iirc there's a line like "sequence=13"05:24
DocScrutinizerApMeFo, on creating those folder .desktop new, probably will not keep those position info05:25
DocScrutinizerbut for sure you can edit with vi or...05:25
*** carloscesa has joined #maemo05:26
*** Termana has quit IRC05:27

kerioyeah :(12:11

crashanddiefor the same reason that you can buy dvd, bluray, and even still vhs a few years ago, because different people had different demands, why is it not possible to get a normally engineered soundtrack, and then the loudness wars casualty one on sale everywhere12:17

flexxxvI never compiled modules taht are normally included in the vanilla kernel13:42
crashanddieMohammadAG51: ping13:42
sivangflexxxv: if you can use an inserted module, then just build it with your kernel headers and try and insmod or modprobe it and it should work, yes13:42
sivangflexxxv: yeah, but in most of the times, this will just create the device node- you will still have to mount it manually13:43
flexxxvthat would be no problem :D13:43
sivangflexxxv: so mount /dev/cdXX /media/cdrom or somesuch13:43
crashanddiesatmd: host mode is coming along just fine13:43
crashanddiesatmd: I'd say another couple weeks and we'll be able to hook up an external hard drive no problem13:43
flexxxvi know; but how can I can I only build the cd modules?13:43
flexxxvThink you can already use an ext HD :D13:44
crashanddiewell, there are bugs that will appear pretty soon13:44

mc_teoluck*15:37
DocScrutinizerMohammadAG: I bet that's related to 2 things: a) bme accessing charger detection, thus activating ULPI interface, and b) VBUS voltage is buffered in some capacitors, so killall vboost.sh makes VBUS decay at random rate, and eventually an IRQ for either VBUS_VALID or SESSION_VALID kicks in15:37
mc_teomaybe i need more that just the .desktop file?15:38

tobis87daleglass: Yes, this would be a good reason. But I would consider to use the swap partition directly as the backing store, else you will have an performance overhead by the filesystem. Which size did you test?17:37
*** murrayc has quit IRC17:38
daleglasstobis87: I'll have to try that, yeah. I also found that in the non-backed mode, you choose the swap device's size, not the amount of memory to dedicate. So my current 64MB one compresses to about 50% and saves about 32MB RAM17:39
daleglasstobis87: also on the ramzswap page the author seems to be saying that the backed mode doesn't perform very well, and that currently having it along with a normal swap partition works better. Wonder why.17:39

tobis87Ok, an encrypted swap has even an higher overhead, but i encrypt the swap on every machine i have and mounting tmp as tmpfs. I also don't understand everything, if I use the 768mb swap partion as backingstore for ramzswap with a size of 32mb, but it does not addup to 832mb (768 + 2 * 32). The swap the system knows of is still 768mb, so if the swap drive would be full, not all of it would be used since 64mb of the drive is stored as 32mb in17:47
*** ohwhyme has joined #maemo17:47
keriothere's no way to compress everything, you know17:48
tobis87daleglass: Yes I know of this, that is why I use backing store to only compress compressable pages, this will not be very easy since nokia has already patched the kernel to handle swapping different.17:48
*** vzq has quit IRC17:50
*** Appiah has quit IRC17:50
daleglasstobis87: well the problem I see is: it sounds like the idea is: if it doesn't compress, send to backing swap. But, if it does compress it's kept in RAM. So if you have say, 32MB for ramzswap, it compresses 50%, all pages are compressable, then all you gain is 32MB extra and your 768MB of backing sit idle17:50

MohammadAGit separated my line into two17:55
tobis87daleglass: yes, but just assume you would fill the whole swap. you have 32mb in ram, which would be 64mb compressed and the 768mb from the disk. But the system only knows of a 768mb swap (/proc/swaps).17:55

GAN900Gizmokid2005, no AT&T 3G support.18:25
Gizmokid2005DocScrutinizer: it's not a carrier problem. I can guarantee it.18:25
Gizmokid2005GAN900: thank you. I know that.18:25
Gizmokid2005THAT is my point18:25
GAN900Gizmokid2005, EDGE is call or data onlu.18:25
Gizmokid2005it's an edge limitation18:25
h4waiiGizmokid2005 - it is a carrier problem. We guarantee it.18:25
GAN900Gizmokid2005, it's a bit of both.18:25
Gizmokid2005and I'm asking if there's any way that I can make the N900 actually kill the data or listen periodically for voice instead of blocking it.18:26
GAN900Mostly it's on Nokia for not supporting the larger US carrier.18:26
h4waiiYour N900 isn't "blocking" it.18:26
DocScrutinizerGAN900: (EDGE is call or data onlu) see jacekowski ^^^ class A18:26
Gizmokid2005h4waii: yes. It is. How else would you describe what's going on?18:26
Gizmokid2005the carrier just says you aren't going to get it?18:26
Gizmokid2005the call is being sent. The radio in the N900, drivers or otherwise, is ignoring it because it's busy with data18:27
Gizmokid2005since it's not 3G and doesn't have concurrent data/voice.18:27
DocScrutinizernope18:27
DocScrutinizerincorrect18:27
h4waiiGo ahead and argue all you want. It's a carrier problem - and that means network or switch related.18:27
tobis87daleglass: ramzswap reports the size of the backing store to the system. ramzswap cannot report the size of the compressed memory + the size of the swap partition to the system, since ramzswap cannot know how much will fit into the compressed memory.18:27
h4waiiIf you want to imagine otherwise, be my guest.18:27
tobis87but this means that the system can only use the size of the backing store for swap, because even if there would be space left on the swap partition the sytem only knows of a swap with the size of the backing store.18:27
Kegetysphone calls work fine for me even when on edge on n90018:27

Gizmokid2005as does incoming when I have absolutely NOTHING going that uses data18:28
tobis87ramzswap 32mb + swap partition 768mb -> ramzswap reports 768mb not 832mb (64mb possible compressed + 768mb partition) -> system can only use 768mb (64mb possible compressed + 768mb partition - 64mb unknown to system)18:28

h4waiiYou're going to try and refute facts, from some very intelligent people here - about the issue?18:30
DocScrutinizerGizmokid2005: anyway, you simply have to make your downloads throttle a bit, leaving spare slots for call signalling, and everything will be fine18:30
GAN900Another fine example of why Nokia lost the US market.18:31
jpinx-eeepcin an xterm on the n900, why would "mount -o loop os.img mountpoint" prodduce and error of "failed, Invalid argument" ?18:31

h4waiilcuk, but having dealt with the issue before, with the N900 and other devices with the SAME carrier - it's plain logic, and yes, assumption, of an answer.19:50

h4waiiand dare I say, it was of similar style and "arrogance" because that is what the problem was/is.19:52

h4waiilcuk, do you think pointing a user who the same issue, to a wiki page that says exactly what we said will work better?19:59
h4waiisivang - works just fine.19:59
DocScrutinizerlcuk: and for the theory of fubar rootfs on N900 or whatever: If carrier *can* signal the call to rapuyama, the far end will get a call progress notification instead of a busy or "not available". So virtually no way whatsoever to mess up phone to a point where class A will fail20:00
sivangh4waii: on the device? I just did some rm -rf to the wrong created rsync of / and a call suddenly came in, so the call audio was jerky, can I assume from that the fs operations are intacnt?20:00

*** b0tz has quit IRC20:04
DocScrutinizerwhile on failing class A you get a busy or 'not available' on far end, rather than a call progress20:04
h4waiiHowever you'd have more issues than just that, if it were the case.20:04
sivangh4waii: just to share my experience, when I did a heavy rm -rf and a call came in, the audio was VERY jerky, good to know file operations take presedence over call audio20:04

RST38hjavispedro: It is actually not as fast as one would tink it would be22:36
javispedroRST38h: I can see that.22:36
RST38hjavispedro: mainly because PSX hw does not map to opengles optimally22:36
RST38hjavispedro: PSX has a persistent 1024x1024 buffer where itboth renders video *and* takes textures from22:36
javispedrogod22:37
RST38hjavispedro: Your plain vanilla OpenGLES1 has no such buffer.22:37
javispedroon n900 your only hope is putting that on plain ram22:37
RST38hjavispedro: Well your N900 has a 5MB dedicated video buffer afaik22:37
*** |R has joined #maemo22:38
RST38hjavispedro: So, THAT is not a problem. OpenGLES1 not supporting such a scheme IS a problem.22:38
*** Smily has joined #maemo22:38
javispedroes1 does support it but will force to pause the sgx while reading from it22:39
RST38hjavispedro: Second problem is that OpenGLES1 textures have to be loaded into the GPU before they can be used22:39

RST38hgles1 native texture format is different from psx format so you have to convert, using cpu22:40
*** SWFu has quit IRC22:40
*** SmilyOrg has quit IRC22:41
