scientes"There are some things I can't do. I'm using a rather slow computer because it's the only laptop with a free BIOS," Stallman says. gNewSense is the only totally free distribution that will run on the Lemote, which has a MIPS-like processor, he says. The Lemote had come with another GNU/Linux distribution that included non-free software, and Stallman replaced it with gNewSense. Mar 07 06:09

scientesi find Debian and the FSF not agreeing annoyingMar 07 06:10
scientes"Stallman has failed to break the Microsoft/Apple dominance of the desktop computer market, not to mention Apple's dominance of tablets. But the free software movement he created did lead to the proliferation of Linux-based servers which are prevalent in data centers and power much of the Internet. This is perhaps ironic because Stallman expresses resentment about the credit given to the Linux kernel at the expense of his own GNU operating sMar 07 06:11

scientesGMA 500 from intel sucksMar 07 06:53
DaemonFCyou use a replacement libc, and you're down to something like 4% of the remaining distribution being GNUMar 07 06:53

scientesbullshitMar 07 06:55
MinceRfor example, it can find the kernel by its path, no need to hack about in userspaceMar 07 06:55

DaemonFCthe OpenGL ES port of kwin was mainly intended for tabletsMar 07 08:32
prurigrooh hmm, is that also what you're running?Mar 07 08:33
DaemonFCbut it has improved performance over the OpenGL versionMar 07 08:33
DaemonFCmainly because it doesn't use GLXMar 07 08:33
DaemonFCyeah, I use it because it performs betterMar 07 08:34
prurigrooh wait, what's the difference between opengl es and glx?Mar 07 08:34
prurigroisn't glx simply opengl?Mar 07 08:35
DaemonFCnoMar 07 08:35
DaemonFCGLX binds OpenGL to the X serverMar 07 08:35
DaemonFCEGL is independent of the X serverMar 07 08:35
DaemonFCbut in this case, it can still use it as a backend for certain things like window position updatesMar 07 08:36
DaemonFCwhen the time comes to move to Wayland, it will happen transparently to applications using OpenGL ES because they will still interact with EGLMar 07 08:37
prurigrooh hmm, so like, the calculations are done behind the scene, and then its drawn to the x server, or whatever else, using that renderer's builtin display mechanism?Mar 07 08:37
DaemonFCit will just have a Wayland backend instead of one for XMar 07 08:37
prurigroahhMar 07 08:37
prurigroyea, I figured that might have sparked itMar 07 08:37
DaemonFCyou can also use EGL on Windows or OS XMar 07 08:37
prurigrowait though, shouldn't glx technically be faster? despite less portable?Mar 07 08:37

prurigrocoolMar 07 08:38
prurigrothat sounds like a better solution, definitelyMar 07 08:38
DaemonFCGLX is actually slower because the X server still has to be involved in the drawing of windows, even though it's not actually drawing themMar 07 08:39
DaemonFCa lot of operations end up happening twice when you use thatMar 07 08:39
prurigroohhh hmm, yea, I sorta remember that being an issue with compiz way backMar 07 08:40
prurigroyou could either have all these bugs with display, or you could have things drawn twice, once in the backgroundMar 07 08:40
prurigrowhich would be what opengl es would be doing anyway, except without the attachment eh?Mar 07 08:40
DaemonFCEGL is just using X as a dumb pass through and to get window positioning updates (DAMAGE)Mar 07 08:41
DaemonFCeverything else is between the window manager, EGL itself, and the OpenGL ES driverMar 07 08:42
prurigrothe window manager?Mar 07 08:43
prurigroI figured it'd be drawing directly to the x display? do window managers really handle that level of complexity?Mar 07 08:43
DaemonFCthey're becoming more complicated as they do more things that they used to just ask X to doMar 07 08:43
prurigroahh, so maybe some more than others then eh?Mar 07 08:44

DaemonFCI think the ultimate goal of KDE is to require some type of OpenGL or OpenGL ES compositing supportMar 07 09:28

DaemonFCIntel is off doing their own thingMar 07 09:33
prurigroI guess nouveau would be 2.1 then eh?Mar 07 09:33

DaemonFCbut no S3TC by default Mar 07 09:35
prurigrohmmm, enabled despite the riks of crash?Mar 07 09:35
DaemonFCyou could add that without disturbing anything else by pulling just the libtxc-dxtn packages from xorg edgersMar 07 09:35
DaemonFCprograms that called it would, sureMar 07 09:36
*amarsh04 has quit (Remote host closed the connection)Mar 07 09:36
DaemonFCprograms that don't use them but use other OpenGL 3 features would workMar 07 09:36
*amarsh04 (~amarsh04@2001:44b8:61::d) has joined #techrightsMar 07 09:36
DaemonFCit would be better to lie and say they support OpenGL 3 than to keep saying 2.1Mar 07 09:36
DaemonFCbecause in either case, programs that need floating point texture support won't workMar 07 09:37
DaemonFCbut if they lie and claim support for OpenGL 3, then anything that used the rest of that API would workMar 07 09:37
prurigrohmm, couldn't they do a try/catch for that particular error?Mar 07 09:38
DaemonFCnot all OpenGL 3 applications use those but if you keep saying that you support OpenGL 2.1, then even the applications that don't use float textures will see that your drier claims 2.1 and fail anywayMar 07 09:38
DaemonFCeven though they would have worked had you liedMar 07 09:38
DaemonFCit would be best practices for developers that want to work on Linux to not use float textures and don't trust the OpenGL version that's reportedMar 07 09:39
prurigroahh I see what you meanMar 07 09:39
DaemonFCinstead, test for the extensions you want to useMar 07 09:39
DaemonFCor try to create a certain context (when arb_create_context lands) ;)Mar 07 09:39
prurigroI thought opengl was a test-for-feature based setup anyway?Mar 07 09:39
DaemonFCand if it fails, you know that it's not possible to use that level of OpenGLMar 07 09:39
MinceRgeekingsMar 07 09:40
DaemonFCit's supposed to beMar 07 09:40
DaemonFCsome things just call trust that the driver is only good for the version string of OpenGL that it returnsMar 07 09:40
DaemonFCin that case you might be able to lie and make it work anywayMar 07 09:40
prurigrohmmMar 07 09:41
prurigrofunny, I was just reading about ogl development the other day, and it was saying that that's now directx development is, in comparisonMar 07 09:41
DaemonFCI managed to get a couple games working just by having it report OpenGL 3Mar 07 09:41
prurigrosounds like some developers might have started over thereMar 07 09:41
DaemonFCas much as I hate to say it, OS X is probably the only counterbalance to DirectX as far as PC gaming goesMar 07 09:42
DaemonFCsome developers want a OS X port and so they use OpenGL and then since they have it working with OpenGL on a POSIX-ish system anyway, they take an afternoon and port it to Linux while they're at itMar 07 09:43
DaemonFCOS X 10.8 is claiming OpenGL 3.2 support nowMar 07 09:44
DaemonFCLinux and Windows with proprietary drivers are the only way to run OpenGL 4.x currentlyMar 07 09:44
DaemonFCthere's at least one major game engine that is demanding OpenGL 4.2 alreadyMar 07 09:44
DaemonFC(the one RAGE uses)Mar 07 09:45
DaemonFCso if RAGE does get a Linux port I may find myself using Catalyst again until I get tired of the gameMar 07 09:45
DaemonFC:)Mar 07 09:45
DaemonFCJohn Carmack said not to rule out a Linux portMar 07 09:45
DaemonFCbut it's not a for sure thingMar 07 09:45
DaemonFCBethesda took them over and he ended up having to fight with their lawyers just to release the Doom 3 engine under the GPLMar 07 09:46
DaemonFCwhich he wrote years before they owned idMar 07 09:46
DaemonFCso that may be the last interesting Linux-related thing they ever doMar 07 09:46
DaemonFCDoom 3's engine dates back to 2004, but it was the most advanced engine up to that pointMar 07 09:48

DaemonFCit still warns that your system might freeze up if you attempt Ultra High graphics because it required a better GPU than you could buy at that timeMar 07 09:53
DaemonFCand a minimum of 512 MB of vramMar 07 09:53

prurigrolol, yea, my boxen def can't put out for thatMar 07 09:54

DaemonFCand you're running it on Ultra Hight with no problemsMar 07 09:54
prurigrolol, I suppose I should upgrade one of these daysMar 07 09:54
DaemonFCbut in 2004, $300-$400 GPUs were struggling just to run it on HighMar 07 09:55
DaemonFCI was shocked at how bad the performance of OS X 10.8 wasMar 07 09:55
prurigrooh?Mar 07 09:56
DaemonFCthere was a set of benchmarks the other day where Ubuntu 12.04 just literally destroyed OS X Mar 07 09:56
DaemonFCand both were running on a Mac MiniMar 07 09:56
DaemonFC:)Mar 07 09:56
prurigrohahaMar 07 09:56
prurigroI got the first mac mini, which I think had tigerMar 07 09:56
prurigroand then leopard came out, so I tried upgrading, and honestly, the desktop doesn't even functionMar 07 09:56
DaemonFCthe only area where OS X was faster was the Intel GPU benchmarks because the Linux support for that particular chipset is not quite as optimized as it could be yetMar 07 09:56
DaemonFCif you redid them on a 3.3 kernel with a Mesa 8.1 snapshot, it would go the other way I'm sureMar 07 09:57
DaemonFCor comparing current stable Mesa + kernel to OS X with identical RadeonsMar 07 09:57
DaemonFCit's obvious why they need to sell you such a fast computer to run OS X onMar 07 09:57
prurigrohaha no doubtMar 07 09:58
DaemonFCthe hardware makes up for their inefficient and poorly optimized softwareMar 07 09:58
DaemonFCI couldn't even see someone running a server with OS XMar 07 09:58
DaemonFCit's probably why they folded the "Server" components into an "app" you could buy and install on OS X for 10.8Mar 07 09:59
prurigrololMar 07 09:59
DaemonFCand all that "app" contains is a bunch of stale open source softwareMar 07 09:59

DaemonFCworkplaces that tried to offer a "choose whatever OS you want on your workstation" perk are really regretting having to support OS X on workstations nowMar 07 10:00

DaemonFCthey share the same OpenGL driver between Windows, and "UNIX"Mar 07 10:03
DaemonFCso whatever the Windows version has is what you get on "UNIX" as wellMar 07 10:03
prurigroword, no kiddingMar 07 10:03
DaemonFCthey lob Linux and the various BSDs in as "UNIX" but they don't make drivers for OS X at all, so their cards only support OpenGL 3.2 and have reduced performance on OS XMar 07 10:03

prurigrothat would definitely make the switch from 4 to 5 nicer than 3 to 4 or 2 to 3Mar 07 10:20
DaemonFCit's the other way around with XFCE and LXDEMar 07 10:20
prurigro?Mar 07 10:20
DaemonFCyou have distributions that are making themes for GTK+ 2 for XFCE and then making a GTK+ 3 theme that matches that oneMar 07 10:21
prurigroyou mean how they're still gtk2?Mar 07 10:21
prurigroahh hahaMar 07 10:21
prurigrotouche ehMar 07 10:21
DaemonFCyeah, like the greybird theme in XubuntuMar 07 10:21
DaemonFCif you change your theme, then Ubuntu software Center no longer matchesMar 07 10:21
DaemonFCand neither will Alacarte or Rhythmbox if you have thatMar 07 10:21
DaemonFCetc.Mar 07 10:21
prurigrooh word, that's no fun hahaMar 07 10:21
DaemonFCthere really needs to be a GTK+ 3 theme switcher for the XFCE control panelMar 07 10:22
prurigrodo they not have one?Mar 07 10:22
DaemonFCas sort of a stop gap until XFCE itself is portedMar 07 10:22
DaemonFCnopeMar 07 10:22
prurigroI used to use xfce and I thought it used to.. maybe not thoughMar 07 10:22
prurigromusta just ln -s'd my gtkrc filesMar 07 10:22
DaemonFCyou have to hand edit some rc files to get your GTK+ 3 apps themed to something elseMar 07 10:22
DaemonFCand there's very few matching themes that run on both toolkitsMar 07 10:22
