Description John Keller 2005-09-21 01:29:03 UTC
Mandriva is using cvs as the base for their 6.9 install; this report refers to
their latest package, based off of cvs 2005-09-13.

Active bug: http://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=17532

There is a pronounced color (colour) shift, usually in items containing yellow.
Additionally, the positioning of bitmaps (typically icons in interface items)
is messed up.

The problem can be worked around by setting color depth to 16 bits instead of
24. This problem only started with the 6.9.1 series; 6.9.0 appears to have
worked (per other reports).

I have a NeoMagic MagicGraph (laptop) adapter, but have seen reports for the
same happening on ATI cards and others. As a result, not sure if it's a driver
issue or not.

I'd be more than happy to attach any further details (config, lspci output, etc)
that you might need.

(Note: used both spellings of "color" for anyone who searches)

Sorry about the phenomenal bug spam, guys.  Adding xorg-team@ to the QA contact so bugs don't get lost in future.
Comment 2 John Keller 2007-05-13 04:58:48 UTC
Resolving as fixed... I'm not sure when it was fixed, but everything works fine with 7.1 on the same configuration as what I opened this bug for.

P.S. Sorry for letting this bug rot for so long without actively testing...
