Just a thought is this something that should be deleted? This seems to be using about 7% of my RAM

I don’t have words for it.

Portland, OR

I was so proud for the forth time be part of the X crew, this time in Portland. Really amazing the city. I had the opportunity to play tourist and visit some nice places.

My X conferences

BTW, I just collect the photos of all four X conferences that I’ve attended. It’s not much photos but there’s some funny things :)

X on embedded

The cool thing of the work that I’m doing at Nokia is that I can publish and discuss mostly all X fun with the open source communities. “Mostly” because, for the last device - the N-shiny-and-awesome-900 - for instance, the video driver is closed (provided by Imagination), so we cannot comment much regarding such driver stack :( C’est la vie.

So last week I posted on lkml an old patch that we were carrying for a long time in the Linux community. It basically brings the multiple (old) video cards functionally again on Linux and X server (and this time doing on the right and beauty way). For the people that was following multiseat implementations, this is a HUGE step: we will finally be able to discard the old and ugly hack (a mix of Xorg, several Xephyr servers + evdev) and and go to a clean way, starting multiple X servers in parallel. Cool! Well, not that much, because it might take some time to be in your beloved distribution :)

… here I’am :)

Being quick about my last months: finished my Master course, moving to Helsinki tomorrow (!), got my first real job. Yessh, three great steps in my crazy life and I’m very happy with it! Hope to stay closer with the desktop communities again ;)

One thing that I learned with open communities is when you send a proposal idea and no one replies. This seems to be odd at first but it isn’t. If you did something strange or wrong then at least someone will reply. OTOH if you did something that can be promiser and no one objects, then great! 99% that you did something interesting :)

Given that I’ll not work towards this cursor’s shortcut idea soon, I’m posting a mail that I recently sent to dri list and didn’t see much excitement there. So the bits are preserved here for future references.
