01:05.55MonMothahum, I need to find myself a 72pin SIMM socket
01:05.59MonMothathe local parts shop only has 32 pins
01:06.01MonMothaer 30
01:07.20fileMonMotha: that's strange
01:07.32sorphinMonMotha: yeah, i know, no spares here either
01:07.32fileI have never seen 30 pin SIMMs...
01:08.05MonMothafile: what!?
01:08.27ade|indyyou have got to be joking
01:08.29sorphinMonMotha: do i even wanna know wtf he's on about now?
01:09.01fileMonMotha: I seriously thought they were a joke when my friend told me about them one time
01:09.15ade|indylol oh dear
01:09.15MonMothafile: no, 30 pin simms most certainly exsit
01:09.35sorphinand always will
01:09.40ade|indysorphin: you are missing a treat !
01:09.54sorphinade|indy: if it involves file

01:10.10sorphinalways is
01:10.16ade|indyharsh
01:10.39sorphinade|indy: well, i've never seen him say anything that even remotely seemed useful to me
01:10.41sorphinso..
01:11.00filenobody says anything truly useful to you, so your statement would therefore indicate you should ignore everyone
01:11.35fileMonMotha: what are they used in?
01:11.58MonMothafile: older 486s, most 386s, 286s, XTs with no onboard RAM
01:12.03MonMothavarious embedded devices
01:12.07fileinteresting
01:13.22fileMonMotha: how's your Webpals?
01:13.27ade|indywhat are the ucsimms , 30pin jobs ?
01:24.57MonMothafile: actually, why do you think I was looking for a SIMM slot?
01:25.06MonMothaI picked up the rest of what I need to build the programmer

01:43.42prpplaguefile: scaren-"where did you get the codes?" cryton-"we don't need no stinkin codes!"

01:46.28sorphinhahaha
01:46.37fileprpplague: a friend told me a few years ago about 30 pin SIMMs but I did not know if he was telling the truth or not

02:17.21sorphinheh
02:18.41prpplaguekergoth`bbl: are you lucking
02:18.48prpplaguelurking even
02:19.05kergothnah, just lazy
02:19.33prpplaguekergoth: i hear mallum is making progress with new tiny-x builds
02:19.42prpplaguekergoth: as well as gpe builds
02:20.03kergothyeah, so it seems :)
02:20.10jacquesbah
02:20.13jacqueshe's lucky
02:20.24jacqueshe doesn't have to deal with tslib crapola
02:20.32kergothheh
02:20.33jacquesi just xcompiled 4.3.0 for arm last night
02:20.37kergothmallum built our tinyx to use tslib
02:20.39kergothand its working fine.
02:20.42kergothwe are using tslib
02:20.42kergothheh
02:20.52jacquesok fine but there is a hack in just for the ipaq
02:21.01kergother, why?
02:21.03prpplaguejacques: ya well, i'm just lucky no one has flamed my email address for the butcher job i did on tiny-x oz build
02:21.09kergothrecent tslib cvs ipaq support is in the core ts_read_raw.c
02:21.14kergothnothing seperate
02:21.24jacquesi can kinda get it working for tuxscreen but it's just not right
02:21.42kergothThat reminds me, I need to push up some more patches to douglas
02:21.56kergothhavent sent  my fixes for the  3rd argument of ts_read(_raw)
02:22.06kergothright now its horribly broken if you request anythign other than a single ts event
02:22.32jacqueskergoth: do you have a tux - sounds like you would be invaluable in fixing the problems I am having
02:22.41kergothfraid not, I didnt get in on it before they sold out
02:22.56kergothwhat is the tux's ts controller? ucb1x00?
02:23.04jacquescorrect
02:23.12kergothhm, I've used the ucb1x00 support in tslib
02:23.21kergoththe Z uses a chip very similar, uses the same driver in fact
02:23.25jacquesor am I getting confused with ipaq
02:23.29jacquesdang
02:23.42kergothwhats the behavior you're seeing?
02:23.46kergothdoes ts_calibrate work?
02:24.05jacquesit's as if callbacks into the tslib library are not happening in the correct order
02:24.05kergothZ has a tc35143af.. toshiba analog frontend
02:24.23kergothdrop a printf or two into each module's read function
02:24.28kergothwhats your tslib.conf look like?
02:24.28jacquesI dod
02:24.35jacquesI did and got really confused
02:24.38kergothhehe
02:24.40kergothyeah, that happens
02:24.55jacquesI got best results by removing I think 2 of the modules from the chain
02:25.09jacquesdejitter was doing aweful things
02:25.38jacquesI last got deep into it in november and after working o nit for 2 weeks got discouraged - I just started again last night with cvs tslib and 4.3.0
02:25.55kergothi havent run into problems with dejitter. variance can be strange though
02:26.00jacqueskergoth: now I know who to ask when I hit problems :-)
02:26.05kergothto be safe, just have 'module linear' in ts.conf
02:26.30jacquesi remember I hacked things up pretty good in nov
02:26.51jacqueshad to add my own printfs in modules because they didnt have enough debugs
02:27.02jacquesended up removing 2 modules and modifying the remaining one
02:27.20prpplaguelordy lordy lordy
02:27.24jacquesanyway - I am going to try again and will ask you when I have hard info
02:27.37jacquesI am going to work on it this weekend
02:27.52jacquesbefore nobody would even discuss tslib with me :-)
02:28.04kergothjacques: hehe, okay let me know
02:28.07prpplaguejacques: ya well ts is scary period
02:28.17kergothnot once you understand it
02:28.25prpplaguejacques: scanline is a good source of info
02:28.39kergothyeah, scanline has a couple alternate filtering algorithms to consider for dejitter
02:28.41prpplaguekergoth: agreed, but finding someone to share the "black magic" is hard
02:28.49kergothyeah, agreed
02:28.56jacquescool kergoth and scanline - BE AFRAID
02:28.56kergothI had to write a new tslib module for collie
02:29.09kergothto yank some weird alterations from kernel space into user space
02:29.16jacquesand corgi? lol
02:29.25kergothit mmap()s /dev/mem to yank some magic numbers manufacturing writes to the flash before shipment
02:29.31kergothugly ugly
02:29.42kergothcorgi is the c700 :)
02:30.06jacquesthe british royal family loves corgis
02:30.17kergothhehe. i dunno where sharp gets their machine names
02:30.22kergothi mean, collie, poodle, and corgi? ;)
02:30.32jacqueswhat's poodle?
02:30.39kergothSL-5600
02:30.43kergothaka SL-B500 (japanese model)
02:30.51jacquesah
02:31.03kergothuses the same TS interface as collie, so didnt need explicit support
02:32.12jacqueswow I am strangely excited now
02:32.28kergothI'm sure we can get it going. tslib is really quite cool when it works :)
02:32.31jacquesI have been trying to get this working for so long and now I think it's possible with help
02:32.52jacquescant wait to get home tonight and start hackin gon it
02:33.14kergothI actually need to rewrite the tslib patch for qt/embedded one of these days, its a pretty high priority todo item
02:33.31sorphinkergoth: i'm still waiting for OZ 3.1 :P
02:33.50kergothsorphin: rc3 releases as soon as docwhat pushes his changeset to finalize our samba packages
02:33.57kergothsorphin: everything else is set for that release
02:34.02kergothfinal is a lil ways off yet
02:34.11sorphinheh
02:34.13kergothhttp://openembedded.org/phpwiki/index.php/TODO
02:34.20kergothI split it up by release
02:34.21kergothheh
02:38.59MonMothaprpplague: I have never used, but have seen SIPPS..very fun things :)
02:39.46prpplagueMonMotha: ya i made a killin on TI 386 look alike boards with sipps
02:40.01MonMothaheh
02:40.32MonMothathe place that I buy most of my parts from (now that radio shack isn't restocking their digital stuff) has a few of them in the display case :)
02:40.44MonMothaI believe he said they were 512k, $25 each
02:40.52prpplagueMonMotha: i used to buy these SIPP and DIMM boards that you could solder old DIPP chips on
02:41.00MonMothainteresting
02:41.13MonMothaI just need to find a 72 pin SIMM socket so I can finish my webpal flash programmer
02:41.22prpplagueMonMotha: good luck
02:41.31fileMonMotha: how about an old mobo?
02:41.42file:)
02:41.49prpplaguefile: the pins are too close to de-solder without expensive equipment
02:42.01fileprpplague: damn
02:42.23prpplagueMonMotha: guess you've already tried digikey
02:43.00MonMothaprpplague: nope, that's my next step
02:43.24MonMothaprpplague: the guy reccomended using a propane torch to try and heat all the joints at once, then slap the board on the table to get the socket out
02:43.27MonMothaI'd be afraid of melting the socket
02:43.35MonMothacertainly can't be done with my little 30W iron
02:43.50prpplagueMonMotha: eww
02:43.52sorphinprpplague: i remember boards too w/ socketed cache :P
02:44.17prpplagueMonMotha: the 15w blue radio shack iron can do it, you just have to take your time
02:44.19jacquesyeh me too
02:45.23MonMothathe problem is that there's almost no solder on the joint...not enough to wick it off
02:45.33MonMothayes, I have various boards with "cache on a stick"
02:48.27prpplagueMonMotha: ya i've purchase very thin solder that i can pre-tin the joint's
02:50.03prpplaguekergoth: btw, what are doing ate home on this fine friday?
02:50.05MonMothaI have some pretty thin stuff...but I don't think it's worth it to do 72 pins
02:50.15MonMothaI'll just get a couple off digi-key
02:50.49sorphinheh
02:51.37kergothprpplague: drinking, thats what
02:51.45kergothprpplague: heh. friends are busy
02:53.36prpplaguekergoth: lol, ohh well carry on then

03:27.39sorphinnow he just says
03:27.44sorphin"would you like cables with that?"
03:28.39prpplaguesorphin: or when the SCO is involved - "would you like a kernel panic with you digi driver?"
03:28.53kergothhehe

03:32.41prpplaguesorphin: no laughing matter, my employeers are making a shit load of money on opensource, seems only fair that we give back
03:33.22kergothoh i agree
03:33.25kergothbut what struck me as odd

04:13.23prpplaguekergoth: whats jacques_gone a guru of?
04:13.46jacques_gonekergoth: definitely will do

04:19.34sorphinand of course
04:19.38prpplague?
04:19.42sorphinprpplague: resident drunk
04:19.48kergothhehe
04:19.48prpplaguelol
04:19.54kergothprpplague/pos
04:20.19kergothspeaking of OZ, i just updated unstable
04:20.34kergothbut careful, its possbile to make your Z no longer boot due to ipkg being a bitch and me having to hack around its lacks
04:20.36sorphinkergoth: are you calling dave a piece of shit?
04:20.37prpplaguekergoth: hey now, would you call a woman a slut? no need to insult me either, lol
04:21.00kergothnow i have to figure out how to correct a completely blown upgrade path
04:21.55kergothi've got a problem here
04:21.59kergothoz-base used to include inittab
04:22.02kergothnow sysvinit includes inittab
04:22.06prpplague"oz we have a problem"
04:22.14kergothif the user upgrades oz-base only, they now dont have an inittab
04:22.15kergothBad Thing
04:22.32kergothif user upgrades teh works, and it tries to upgrade sysvinit first, it errors because oz-base owns the same file
04:22.54prpplaguekergoth: no, a bad thing is when your 5 year old son is kicking your ass in a q3 deathmatch
04:23.05sorphinprpplague: loser
04:23.09kergothso the question is, how can I setup the upgrade path to ensure the user cant get the system in an inconsistent state
04:23.23kergothI made sysvinit Conflict with the versions of oz-base that included inittab
04:23.30kergothipkg is smart enough to fix the upgrade order
04:23.52kergothdue to the conflict
04:24.07kergothbut the user can still upgrade just oz-base and not sysvinit, thereby leaving them with a useless system
04:24.18prpplagueouch
04:24.31kergothI hate to make oz-base Dpends on sysvinit
04:24.35kergothbecause technically it doesnt
04:24.46kergothyou could have a system with another init, or with a kernel that boots sh, not init
04:24.52sorphinkergoth: well
04:25.03kergothhm
04:25.04sorphinyou could make it require/depend on either sysvinit or another init
04:25.11kergothyeah, i was thinking about that
04:25.14sorphindebian does that, has dual depends
04:25.14kergothDepends on init
04:25.17sorphineither one or another
04:25.19kergothand make simpleinit and sysvinit both Provide init
04:25.22kergoththatd be clean
04:25.28kergothactually, even better
04:25.32kergothoz-base Depends on oz-base-init
04:25.40kergothwhich is Provided by oz-base-sysvinit
04:25.46kergothwhich includes the base set of init scripts for sysvinit
04:26.03sorphinnod
04:26.06kergothoz-base-sysvinit should Depends on the version of sysvinit that includes inittab
04:26.33kergothlets see. ipkg upgrades oz-base, which tries to upgrade oz-base-sysvinit due to deps, but then flips the order due to the conflits
04:27.04kergoththen upgrades oz-base, now intitab is gone, upgrades oz-base-sysvinit, which upgrades sysvinit, then upgrades itself
04:27.07kergothyep, that'll work
04:27.12sorphinscary
04:27.23kergothamazing how much work is invovled in stupid packaging issues, eh?
04:27.42sorphinyup
04:28.03kergothlets see if it tries to upgrade sysvinit first, that fails due to its conflict with old oz-base, adn starts the upgrade path from that direction
04:28.07prpplaguewell guys, i'm gonna go pass out on the couch now, later guys
04:28.09kergothgood good, that should still work
04:28.11kergothnight prpplague
04:28.17prpplaguenight
04:28.33kergothsorphin: i have this exact situation 6 times
04:28.42kergothoz-base used to include, inittab, modules.conf, ipkg.conf, etc
04:28.49kergothnow sysvint, modutils, ipkg, respectively
04:28.54kergothand others
04:29.00kergothtalk about a bitch to manager
04:29.02kergothmanage
04:29.03kergothbleh
04:32.45sorphinkergoth: sucks to be you apparently
