<HdkR> robclark: Some minor improvements there. Benchmarks only show up to a 60% perf improvement but some tighter loops should be closer to 2x :P
<robclark> "only show up to a 60% perf improvement"
<robclark> I'd be pretty happy for 60% improvement ;-)
<HdkR> It'll be pretty niceIt's pretty nice when testing games
<HdkR> It's a shame X1C is a weird inbetween core that has performance problems with unaligned stores. It's likely hitting us hard
<HdkR> sm8650 also has flagm2 and afp extensions which gives another free performance boost :D
<robclark> I'm not sure how much we know about the nuvia cores, but presumably/hopefully qc has been listening to requests from however works on the win x86 emu stuff
<robclark> since they probably need/want all the same things that fex does
<HdkR> We can only hope that Microsoft is screaming from the rooftops to give us a TSO memory model enable bit like Apple hardware.
<HdkR> Since thus far the LRCPC1/2/3/4/5/6 extensions have proven worthless
<HdkR> Although a 4.3Ghz ARM core that claims to be as fast as Apple's M2 is already a big win.
<HdkR> Enabling TSO emulation and it dropping to 1/8th the perf like a Cortex wouldn't be nice :P
<robclark> yeah, I think that is the rub with tso
<steev> ohhhh that x1c
<steev> i'm used to people calling the Thinkpad X1 Carbon, an x1c
<robclark> yeah, cortex-x1c

<travmurav[m]> steev: do you have some testcase where it fails?
<jhovold> clover[m], neobrain: youtube playback works fine here with arch and firefox 120.1
<jhovold> could pipwire be involved? i'm using pulseaudio here
<jhovold> I assume at least clover is using steeve
<jhovold> ...steev's branches and the laptop_defconfig (just pointing out differences in setup)
<jhovold> and I run xorg, not wayland
<jhovold> also does it depend on the content? do you have video acceleration enabled?
<Jasper[m]> jhovold: This was a problem before it was enabled in ff
<jhovold> ok, thanks, one thing to rule out
<Jasper[m]> Could be pipewire, I was using that when I had the problem
<jhovold> seemed like a possibility since you said it went away at some point
<neobrain> I'm using pipewire indeed
<jhovold> neobrain: perhaps you can try switching to puleaudio and see if that helps
<neobrain> On it :)
<jhovold> :)
<neobrain> Not an issue with pulseaudio-proper indeed, interesting
<neobrain> Volume is still variable, but I'm assuming that's the speaker firmware regulating heat or something
<jhovold> neobrain: thanks for confirming, sounds like someone should report this to the pipewire devs
<jhovold> haven't really noticed the volume changing here, are you sure you're using the latest ucm files etc?
<neobrain> ah, the ucm files may have been overwritten by system update meanwhile
<jhovold> yeah, it's really unfortunate that those hasn't been released by upstream yet
<jhovold> i've built and installed that package on arch myself (after similarly having my local hacks overwritten at some point)
<neobrain> Where can I find the ucm files again? I always forgot how to find that wiki page that mentions all this stuff D:
<neobrain> Ah: https://github.com/jhovold/linux/wiki ... I never think of looking for the wiki link on github
<neobrain> I think my ucm files are up to date, but actually turns out the issue happens to be noticable in particular past 80% volume and in the one specific song I first tried, heh
<neobrain> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f9T6GBMTPWk <- playing this one at 100% should make it obvious what I'm talking about, unless it's Just Me (tm)
<jhovold> no, sorry, i really can't stand hip hop, i'll just have to take your word for it :)
<Jasper[m]> That hurts :(
<Jasper[m]> Subgenre's of Hip-Hop can be stellar
<Jasper[m]> (I haven't listened to what neobrain shared so idk about that :^))
<jhovold> heh, maybe something really old like public enemy or even gil scott-heron, but not that gangsta stuff
Caterpillar has quit [Quit: Konversation terminated!]
<Jasper[m]> Kendrick Lamar is a good lead-in I'd say. Conscious hiphop is great. If you like more funky/jazzy instrumentals I'd recommend To Pimp A Butterfly, one of the best albums ever made (I'm genuinely not pulling this out of my ass)
<Jasper[m]> Otherwise A Tribe Called Quest is also very solid, they peaked a while ago, but it's more in line with Public Enemy. Fat chance they sampled Gil Scott-Heron at some point :^)
<jhovold> i'll try to give it a listen
<neobrain> haha I considered adding a disclaimer about the genre
<_[m]1> <HdkR> "Although a 4.3Ghz ARM core..." <- thisis what you want right? it's not some product launch I missed?
<HdkR> _[m]1: sc8380xp can boost two of its CPU cores to 4.3Ghz
<_[m]1> ha yes those oryon core, hot
<HdkR> M3 Max can boost its CPU cores to 4Ghz, so not too far off :)

<mynery[m]> okay, so x13s here. i have an issue where if i do add an external display, everything works great, but if i close the laptop and open it later, the laptop screen just stays off. sadly, i have no clue where i could find relative information. i did found some issues with screens staying black after suspend, but this isn't really the case.
<mynery[m]> however, the suspend thing can apparently be a hardware issue, so i just want to ask if anybody is aware whether this is one in that case or not
<jhovold> mynery[m]: known issue, the display controller fails to resume properly if you have an external display connected
<jhovold> if you're in a VT console you can just disconnect and reconnect the external display to get the internal display back
<jhovold> with x/wayland you'd need to some more, but you should be able to log into the machine remotely and restart them
<mynery[m]> huh, i could try switching to a tty and then disconnect
<jhovold> do you really want to suspend when closing the lid with external display connected? Otherwise, i think there's some systemd option to allow you to just shut the lid without susending in that case
<mynery[m]> i'm not sure what the results of that would be. like, the device itself doesn't go to suspend obviously, but if i don't make the display suspend (if this is an option), will gnome still figure out that it wants to move the windows to the external screen?
<jhovold> if you don't suspend, everything should work as with the lid open, except you won't see any windows on that screen, not sure if the backlight would still be on though...
<jhovold> mynery[m]: in case you need it: logind.conf, #HandleLidSwitchDocked=ignore
<jhovold> seems to be the default here
janrinze has joined #aarch64-laptops
<clover[m]> mynery: you also need a patched version of mutter or you will get issues with gnome and external displays
<mynery[m]> i read about that on the ironrobin repo, but i have honestly no idea what the described issue even is
<steev> travmurav[m]: i say that mostly because it seems to not recognize when i disconnect my adapter anymore
<steev> previously if i would disconnect my adapter, all apps that were on the external screen would move to the primary display, now, they just sit off in nowwhere land
<travmurav[m]> oh, interesting, let me see if this happens for me too...
<travmurav[m]> steev: But no, seems like I can't reproduce this - just opened a terminal window and moved it to an external display: it moves back to the laptop when I unplug the display and returns to the old place when I reconnect it
<strongtz[m]> I wonder if sc8380xp (or whatever it's called) supports SVE2
<steev> travmurav[m]: dumb question but... using wayland?
<travmurav[m]> steev: yep
<travmurav[m]> I actually think x11 is completely broken for me, or at least it was at some point

<_[m]1> <konradybcio> "plasma wayland works just fine..." <- not on arch for me, on debian yes
<steev> for me, unplug, suspend, bring back from suspend, and it's good, however... i plug the external display back in and the monitor never seems to get a signal... unless i log out of gnome, switch to sway, and then log out of sway and back in to gnome, it works
<steev> and it's not specific to that hdmi dongle
<steev> but i can move the mouse to the display as if it's there, and can see it in gnome settings, just no signal
<_[m]1> hm but that sucks if you have external storage connected through the same dock the hdmi is connected
<_[m]1> that's odd behavior though
<steev> yeah, i just umount it beforehand

<craftyguy> steev: which system? I see something similar to that on the x13s, but when I suspend with an external display then on resume it isn't detected unless I replug the cable (and sometimes only after rotating the connector)
<steev> gnome 45, with patched mutter
<craftyguy> ah there is something in dmesg, not much... "dwc3-qcom a4f8800.usb: HS-PHY not in L2"
<steev> yours is a known issue
<craftyguy> ah, is there more info about it? just for my own curiosity
<steev> jhovold replied about it above to mynery[m]
<craftyguy> oops, I'll scroll up
<mynery[m]> is there an aur package with that patch?
<craftyguy> jhovold: FWIW I often suspend with the lid closed and an external display connected, to reduce power usage when I'm not using the system
<craftyguy> no clue, I use sway/wlroots and things work well except for that resume from suspend thing
<steev> the patched mutter? i do not know, you'd have to ask clover[m], the resident arch expert ;)
<clover[m]> <mynery[m]> "is there an aur package with..." <- no but you can find the pkgbuild with the patch here: https://github.com/ironrobin/x13s-alarm/tree/trunk/mutter
<clover[m]> can build it yourself or just add that repo to your pacman conf
<mynery[m]> i probably have that then
<clover[m]> this command will tell you:
<clover[m]> pacman -Sl ironrobin-x13s | grep "\[installed\]"
