11:19 yaayaa hi. i installed the xf86-video-dove on a freshly updated archlinuxarm on cubox. But X does not start now using dovefb. It used to work with fvdev (without hardware acc through). Any experience ?
11:31 Coolgeek did you tell X to use dovefb ?
11:37 yaayaa it is use by default when xf86-video-dove, that's why it does not work
11:41 yaayaa before I installed the package, it worked using fbdev
11:43 Coolgeek yaayaa: dans /etc/X11 you have some xorg.conf example file. try to rename rabxorg.conf into xorg.conf
11:46 yaayaa yes much better :) thanks
19:45 not_relevant Xilka-x ?
21:05 cbxbiker61 https://dl.dropbox.com/u/38673799/XilkaX-Root-20120724.tar.xz
21:07 cbxbiker61 193M compressed, 930M extracted
21:34 cbxbiker61 i've checked the power consumption on the cubox while playing video on XilkaX, it bounces between 3 and 4 watts
21:35 cbxbiker61 that's including the ac power adapter, so pretty impressive
22:00 dv505 cbxbiker61: any reason I can download any of the xilka updates quite fast, except for the uImage?
22:00 dv505 wget giving me ETAs of 19 hours
22:13 rabeeh cbxbiker61: do you have a 1Gbps or 100Mbps on the ethernet with the power consumption test?
22:16 cbxbiker61 dv505, if the file in question hasn't been downloaded in a while, it may get removed from the the caching servers, which forces a new load from my "slow" server
22:16 cbxbiker61 rabeeh, 1Gps connection
22:16 cbxbiker61 Gb
22:16 rabeeh nice :)
22:17 rabeeh so take into account that the PSU is ~75-80% efficient
22:17 rabeeh more into 75% if you don't have USB Connected
22:17 rabeeh so we are talking about 2.5-3W really consumed by CuBox
23:50 cbxbiker61 interesting... i see that atop has a new feature that allows you to monitor resource usage by thread, that could be a nice feature for analyzing threaded programs like xbmc
