Alberto Milone (tseliot)

Blueprint work:

  • desktop-lucid-xorg-proprietary-drivers:
    • Implemented the new alternatives system and put the following modified packages in my PPA for testing: libxvmc nvidia-common nvidia-graphics-drivers nvidia-graphics-drivers-173 nvidia-graphics-drivers-96 nvidia-settings screen-resolution-extra xorg-server.
    • Added a utility class for alternatives in nvidia-common and adapted the logic behind driver selection to the new name schemes of the drivers.
    • Updated Jockey (in a bzr branch) so that it can use the new nvidia common and disabled fglrx (as currently it doesn't work with Lucid's X).
    • Updated nvidia-settings, changed its packaging and added support for PolicyKit (thanks to screen-resolution-extra).

  • desktop-lucid-touchscreen-handling:
    • Stantum kindly offered to lend me and Peter Hutterer (Red Hat) a 12" multitouch touchscreen developer toolkit to help us implement multitouch in X.Org.

Non-blueprint work:

  • Discussing with upstream, namely Peter Hutterer and Dan Nicholson for X and Martin for udev, the design of a new system for using quirks for touchpad and input devices in general.
  • Became Core developer.
