15:49.08figahello
15:50.36figadoes anyone has any pointers on how to properly configure nouveau?
18:16.22*** join/#fredlug theunwiseman (~matthew@192.65.245.88)
18:50.32sticksterfiga: You shouldn't need to configure anything with recent Xorg
18:50.37sticksterfiga: Are you having a display resolution problem?
18:50.51sticksterfiga: (by the way, make sure you say "stickster" in your response or I may not see it)
18:59.02figastickster - Yes, my display pretty much sucks especially if I use a live distro. I wanted to try out the gnome 3 today, but the screen looks pretty bad.
18:59.31sticksterfiga: Do you mean the resolution is too low?
18:59.39stickster"looks pretty bad" has a wide variety of definitions :-)
19:13.47figastickster - sorry, its wrong resolution.
19:14.05sticksterfiga: That's fixable, hang on and I'll post a file to show you how to handle it
19:14.25sticksterfiga: Usually this indicates your monitor is not sending back a proper EDID that identifies its max. resolution
19:14.34sticksterfiga: Is this a laptop or a desktop?

19:18.04figastickster: this is a laptop
19:20.35sticksterHm, that's interesting
19:20.52sticksterfiga: Can you post your /var/log/Xorg.log.0 file to http://fpaste.org ?
19:24.51figaHere is the thing, Under my current setup, Im using the nvidia propietary driver. But I wanted to test gnome 3 with nouveau and possible make the switch. I have to reboot my laptop, and see if I can grab the xorg.log.0 somehow, cause even the tty is looks all out of wak. I cat try the vga=scan mode on grub and see if that helps
19:25.50figastickster: are you guys gonna hang around  for a while, I have an appointment soon.
19:26.13sticksterfiga: You can test GNOME 3 with nouveau using the Live image
19:26.19sticksterIs that what you're doing now
19:26.20stickster?
19:26.23figayes

19:27.43figastickster: don't worry about me then. Stick to your meeting. I have to go anyways. But I will try to log in later as I wanna try nouveu and gnome 3 live distro
