| 01:25.27 | Oksana | (headdesks) It does sound funny, even if the poster himself is in favour of keeping the Council. |
| 02:00.58 | Oksana | How does "Matrix keyboard connected to row[7:0] x col[7:0] dedicated matrixscanner IO at GAIA." correlate with "ROW[8], COL[10], 18" at block diagram? http://wiki.maemo.org/N900_Hardware_Subsystems#Keyboard http://neo900.org/stuff/block-diagrams/neo900/neo900.html Sorry, but I have no understanding of keyboard pin-out. |
| 02:03.35 | wpwrak | you mean how we transform an 8x10 to 8x8 matrix ? |
| 02:05.24 | wpwrak | the answer is simple: we don't :-) we just define a different matrix. the matrix is defined by the PCB. |
| 02:05.39 | Oksana | I don't know. I don't know what pins the domesheet keyboards has, I don't know what uses them. Just trying to parse these numbers to get a meaningful picture of how it works. |
| 02:06.17 | Oksana | Ok, you define a larger matrix for Neo900 than was used in N900? |
| 02:07.14 | Oksana | Does it mean that there will be a change, regarding N-key rollover? |
| 02:08.27 | wpwrak | yes, the matrix is larger. i guess (that comes from nik) it's mainly motivated by the number of pins that keyboard controller chip has |
| 02:10.42 | wpwrak | not sure if there are user-visible differences. in any case, i'd expect them to be barely noticeable. |
| 02:10.52 | Oksana | Ok, so part of matrix will be unused, since domesheet array stays fairly similar? There will be some signals in the matrix which never actually happen? |
| 02:11.28 | wpwrak | actually, i wonder if we couldn't have a nicer solution for the three shift keys than equipping with with diodes (as of the current draft schematics) |
| 02:12.12 | wpwrak | i mean, we have that HUGE matrix :) nokia managed with 8x8 and no diodes at all |
| 02:12.55 | Oksana | You mean, you have diodes for Ctrl, Shift, and Fn? To avoid the N-key rollover issue? |
| 02:12.58 | wpwrak | the number of keys should be (*) identical to N900, yes |
| 02:13.34 | wpwrak | (*) if there's the odd switch, we may hook it up to the matrix. but i don't think we have anything like that at the moment |
| 02:13.43 | wpwrak | (diodes) yes |
| 02:13.58 | Oksana | {Re-arranging the keys in a matrix in a smarter way} sounds more complicated than {adding three diodes}. |
| 02:14.04 | wpwrak | well, nik put them there. maybe i can get rid of them again ;-) |
| 02:16.22 | wpwrak | but i'm not sure the matrix is actually finished. there's a number of things there that doesn't seem to make sense |
| 02:18.26 | Oksana | If you get a matrix arranged differently from what Nokia had, you will have to: 1. publish it somewhere; 2. make sure it's problem-proof. |
| 02:18.43 | wpwrak | sure |
| 02:19.41 | Oksana | Right-Down-Up gives a dot. Funny. |
| 02:19.43 | wpwrak | nokia's matrix probably doesn't work well for > 2 simultaneous keypresses. i.e., they don't have the modifier keys in an isolated sub-matrix |
| 02:21.12 | wpwrak | yes, that's the false key that's supposed to appear then. seems that both physics and logic are being strictly enforced ;-) |

| 10:02.31 | wpwrak | (leds) np :) which set do you like ? |
| 10:03.19 | wpwrak | (plasma-desktopD11330.png) ? no TNO or MSL (maximum shelf life ?) i can see |
| 10:04.15 | DocScrutinizer05 | haven't checked yet, prolly both are fine, I however guess that better efficiency at red and blue is even finer, given green is physiologically a color that needs lower brightness for same effect |
| 10:04.59 | DocScrutinizer05 | there's no TNO mentioned in context of MSL and baking etc, but it might be related I thought |
| 10:07.30 | wpwrak | hmm, according to http://stackoverflow.com/questions/687261/converting-rgb-to-grayscale-intensity green has the weakest multiplier, so it would have to be strongest (in terms of mcd) to match the others, no ? |
| 10:07.40 | wpwrak | err, wait |
| 10:07.49 | wpwrak | no, you're right. green is biggest |
| 10:08.23 | wpwrak | brain hasn't booted far enough yet to make it to arrays of 3 or larger :) |
| 10:09.12 | DocScrutinizer51 | heh, get a coffee! that's what I do now :) |

| 10:13.36 | DocScrutinizer05 | how many mcd we got from the bright ones? |

| 10:18.07 | DocScrutinizer05 | (obviously you're right re relative brightness in Candela. When comparing to brightness of a candle, no physiological effects matter, they are already booked in) |

| 13:45.25 | DocScrutinizer05 | wpwrak: (mail) look closer! |
| 13:45.33 | jonwil | What it sounds like is that the development guys seem to want to be more open |
| 13:46.06 | DocScrutinizer05 | but management blocks as usual |
| 13:46.42 | jonwil | but the management is concerned about the risks (i.e. will it give their competitors all their secrets, will it lead to patent lawsuits, will the people using their IP core have an issue with it, will the people building products with PowerVR-containing SOCs have an issue with it) |
| 13:46.57 | DocScrutinizer05 | wpwrak: (true green) well, maybe not on digikey and from this manufacturer |
| 13:47.37 | jonwil | Some Android OEMs may not necessarily like the idea of open PowerVR GPU drivers for their devices |
| 13:47.41 | dos1 | jonwil: most of those reasons are already moot thanks to recent "leak" |
| 13:49.47 | jonwil | remember that the "leak" is one set of code for one specific Android version (and specific SOC or whatever) and doesn't cover anywhere near the full set of devices using PowerVR cores |
| 13:57.31 | dos1 | they probably won't really cover "full set of devices" in open drivers anyway, but I'd expect most of potentially troubling stuff to be shared between android versions, socs and devices |
| 13:59.03 | jonwil | I just hope any open drivers cover omap3 as well as omap4 (the leak seems to be for omap4 stuff) |
| 14:00.59 | DocScrutinizer05 | I'd not hold my breath for that. I did same effort once, for ST-E NovaThor Mali(?) and the result been zilch. An arbitrary employee pushing doesn't make an open driver suite yet |
| 14:03.43 | DocScrutinizer05 | (actually ST-E already published the stuff but the .h had a non-gpl compliant license and thus was "useless" for FOSS. And my effort was 'only' for changing the licensing) |

| 14:10.54 | DocScrutinizer05 | well, meanwhile ST-Ericsson is no more |

| 14:34.24 | jonwil | regarding leaked PowerVR source code, I think the issue is proving that said PowerVR drivers didn't copy any code or info from PowerVR leak (if someone who has written code for the FOSS drivers has seen a single line of proprietary PowerVR leak code it would be hard to prove that nothing was copied) |
| 14:34.40 | kerio | DocScrutinizer05: that has some side effects tho :3 |
| 14:35.17 | DocScrutinizer05 | yeah, the amusing side effect that I don't get headache from ZNC "administrative user interface" |
| 14:35.21 | freemangordon | jonwil: sorry, but is it really me to prove anything? |
| 14:35.30 | freemangordon | isn't it the other way around? |
| 14:35.44 | freemangordon | "...unless proven guilty"? |

| 14:36.12 | DocScrutinizer05 | exactly |
| 14:36.14 | jonwil | I know the guys working on WINE (which lets you run Windows stuff on Linux) and ReactOS (FOSS clone of Widows) had some legal issues because some people looked at the leaked Windows source code then contributed to those 2 projects. |
| 14:36.29 | jonwil | ReactOS had to stop development and rewrite a bunch of stuff |
| 14:36.54 | DocScrutinizer05 | an annoying habit in FOSS scene to always assume "guilty until proven to not be" |
| 14:37.01 | freemangordon | jonwil: this is not an answer to my question :) |
| 14:37.51 | freemangordon | whom shall I prove I've never read that code? |

| 14:38.29 | DocScrutinizer05 | it results in bizzare concerns like "if I would buy a service from you, and in 3 years your wife is doing something illegal, then they will sue and imprison me for ever having talked to you" |
| 14:40.39 | jonwil | There is also (in the US at least) the whole argument around whether APIs can be copyrightable (See the Oracle vs Google lawsuit). |
| 14:41.19 | DocScrutinizer05 | in my book I could come up with a sourcecode I claim some angel whispered into my ear at night while I was sleeping, and as long as nobody can prove that I used too many identical unique names for vars etc there's nothing wrong with that code |
| 14:41.51 | freemangordon | I exclude USA from the equation, I really CBA about all that patent crap going on there. I talk about EU |
| 14:42.48 | freemangordon | however, I have to run. bbl |
| 14:42.57 | DocScrutinizer05 | we could stop using electric devices when we had to worrxy about some jackass claiming to have a patent on using "+" char to add two factors |
| 14:43.06 | DocScrutinizer05 | freemangordon: cya! :-) |
| 14:43.38 | DocScrutinizer05 | software patents,my a** |
| 14:44.15 | DocScrutinizer05 | all in line with DMCA |
| 14:44.21 | jonwil | The whole "Apple vs Android" patent fight is the #1 reason I refuse to give Apple a single cent of my money (e.g. buying their hardware, buying iTunes cards as gifts for people etc) |
| 14:44.45 | DocScrutinizer05 | where speaking a sequence of digits can already be a crime |

| 14:49.30 | DocScrutinizer05 | wait until Nestle gets patents on the act of breating |
| 14:50.00 | DocScrutinizer05 | for now they only have patents on drinking water and mostly watery liquids |
| 14:50.40 | jonwil | Too bad there isn't a nice sane country we can all move to, one that isn't participating in the global "spy on everyone" business, one that doesn't have stupid anti-circumvention laws, one that doesn't carry out censorship (Germany is no good because they have censorship, they have it for what may be good reasons but its still censorship) |
| 14:51.29 | kerio | yeah idk about the laws against hate speech |
| 14:51.45 | DocScrutinizer05 | hmm, Germany is poor on a lot of these thngs, but I don't know much about censoring in D |
| 14:51.55 | kerio | DocScrutinizer05: can't yell "heil hitler" in the streets |
| 14:52.08 | kerio | that's censorship |
| 14:52.18 | DocScrutinizer05 | hmmm, arguable |
| 14:53.03 | DocScrutinizer05 | we (the more sane 30% of Germans) like to think of it being a threat |
| 14:53.10 | kerio | 30%? :o |
| 14:53.29 | kerio | i dunno, i can't stop thinking of stuff like that as not trusting the people enough |
| 14:53.58 | DocScrutinizer05 | is not selling arms in supermarket censorship? |
| 14:54.15 | jonwil | I think in terms of German censorship of video games (The area I have heard the most about) it comes down to A.A prohibition on video games that contain anything Nazi related and B.That "index" thing that means developers have to remove violence, change humans to robots, change red blood to green or whatever in order to be able to sell their game in Germany |
| 14:55.05 | DocScrutinizer05 | well, see above |
| 14:55.11 | kerio | jonwil: fwiw, that's just cuz video games aren't considered art |
| 14:55.16 | kerio | otherwise they wouldn't have that restriction |
| 14:55.33 | jonwil | which one? The Nazi rule or the other stuff? |
| 14:55.46 | kerio | both, actually |
| 14:55.54 | kerio | AO ratings exist for other media |
| 14:56.16 | kerio | and frankly, i don't give a shit about gamestop not selling physical AO games |
