Cheers, Julien Sorry I should have said xserver 1.6 plus 6.12.3-1 is fine xserver 1.7 plus 6.12.4-2 is not good for 16bit colour. I have not tried 6.12.3-1 on server 1.7 as there are conflicts in installing. # dpkg -i xserver-xorg-video-radeon_1%3a6.12.3-1_amd64.deb dpkg: warning: downgrading xserver-xorg-video-radeon from 1:6.12.4-2 to 1:6.12.3-1. dpkg: regarding xserver-xorg-video-radeon_1%3a6.12.3-1_amd64.deb containing xserver-xorg-video-radeon: xserver-xorg-core conflicts with xserver-xorg-video-5 xserver-xorg-video-radeon provides xserver-xorg-video-5 and is to be installed. dpkg: error processing xserver-xorg-video-radeon_1%3a6.12.3-1_amd64.deb (--install): conflicting packages - not installing xserver-xorg-video-radeon Errors were encountered while processing: xserver-xorg-video-radeon_1%3a6.12.3-1_amd64.deb Hope this helps, Adrian -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-x-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Bug#565313: xserver-xorg-video-radeon
I also have the dim green-tinted display in 16-bit mode. Seems to work fine in 24 bits but Flash video plays poorly in 24-bit mode which is why I prefer to use 16 bits. Versions prior to the upgrade the week of Jan 15 2010 worked normally in 16-bit mode. I have xserver-xorg 1:7.5+1 and xserver-xorg-video-radeon 1:6.12.4-2. My video card is a Radeon Mobility 9200.

Bug#565313: xserver-xorg-video-radeon: 16 bit colour on M64 gives green tinted screen
First I have the same problem since my last update. I did not update until some time but I can try to find the exact update that cause problem if necessary. As I'm low in memory too, I use 16 bit display, but currently it gives the pale-blue look. The hardware cursor is with the good colors. I do not really know where to start to find the bug, so feel free to ask any information. I tried to use an empty xorg file but it goes directly to 24 bits. When I just copy paste the generated one and just add 16 bits, it starts been pale-blue. * Infos : xserver-xorg-video-radeon : Version: 1:6.12.4-2 Video Card : ATI Technologies Inc Radeon Mobility M6 LY Thanks geo -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-x-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
