Description Jean-Baptiste 2006-09-01 00:32:04 UTC
Up-to-date Edgy Eft on iBook G4 1,07 GHz.

Initial Bug report : https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/58373

Oddly, the desktop is all blue…

It looks out this bug is ppc specific…
Comment 1 Jean-Baptiste 2006-09-04 06:51:08 UTC
The colors seem inverted : I take a screenshot of my blue-colored compiz on ppc,
then I view it inside the same bugged environnement.

As you see, the Ubuntu's logo and Firefox' icon look out well again, respecting
their true colors…

I precise that gnome-compiz-manager has nothing to deal with that bug : I had
got this bug before gnome-compiz-manager was installed…
Comment 2 Jean-Baptiste 2006-09-04 07:10:23 UTC
I use the official Ubuntu Edgy Eft packages :
compiz-core 0.0.13.38-0ubuntu3
compiz-gnome 0.0.13.38-0ubuntu3
compiz-plugins 0.5-0ubuntu3

I'm seeing the same problem on a G3 ibook.
Comment 4 mambro 2006-09-12 10:26:14 UTC
I've the same bug with gentoo on an ibook g4 12". I've used this overlay

That are my softwares version:
ibook mambro # emerge -av libdrm mesa xorg-server xf86-video-ati compiz

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Comment 5 mambro 2006-09-16 07:24:06 UTC
With mesa 6.5.1 and compiz 20060913 doesn't work yet... is someone working on
this problem? You need other information?
Comment 6 mambro 2006-10-21 06:16:51 UTC
With mesa 6.5.1 xorg-server 1.1.1 and compiz 0.2.0 if I use display Depth 16 bit
(DefaultDepth 16 in the Section "Screen" of the xorg.conf) it works better but
not perfecty yet. 

This is a screenshot

You can see that some parts of the screen are purple/blue.
