[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 1173649] Re: incorrect color depth - intel graphics card
Same problem here on HP Compaq dx2000 MT with Intel 82865G video card: the installation of xubuntu 13.04 defaults to 15bpp. The xubuntu desktop is better at 32bpp, and also remmina remote destkop application has problems with 15bpp. Flash player videos are completely unwatchable (totally wrong colors). So I applied Craig's patch on post #51 to have 32bpp. The destkop looks nicer and both flash player and remmina renders remote colors correctly. I still have problems with playing my videos with other media players (parole and minitube): colors are oversaturated.

Craig: I'm curious, what apps are you seeing looking bad because of this; my understanding from what Chris is saying and from your xdpyinfo is that it's just the default that's 16, so any app that wants to do nice graphics should be able to ask for the highest quality visual rather than the default. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-intel in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1173649 Title: incorrect color depth - intel graphics card To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/1173649/+subscriptions ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

Fairly recent, I only changed the default for SNA so you would only have experienced the change on the switch in raring.

Re: [Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 1173649] Re: incorrect color depth - intel graphics card
Hi, I went down the path of attempting to create an xorg.conf file and gave up -- way too problematic (X -configure fails for a variety of reasons, both at root console / no x-windows and using :1 -- and the resultant xorg.conf.new file [if I even get one] is so plain jane it's useless to the common user). In any case, this is a bug as you point out (the default is wrong). And, as in original bug report text -- ubuntu 12.10 is fine, along with 11.10 (skipped 12.04). Thanks. Of course, I'm hoping that, somewhere along the way, I simply do an update and xorg is upgraded auto-magically and the default then becomes the proper 24 or even 32 -- and I don't have to lift any fingers to do any kind of 1-off thingy a la xorg.conf (on a similar note, I have vi'd smb.conf for the last time and I will never vi smb.conf ever again -- I just run an ftp server and I'm done -- hence, I'm not editing xorg.conf, noting I can't even create one that's almost useful). - Craig On 04/27/2013 02:57 PM, Dave Gilbert wrote: Huh, OK that'sweird From your Xorg.0.log: [40.999] (==) intel(0): Depth 15, (--) framebuffer bpp 16 [40.999] (==) intel(0): RGB weight 555 so that's saying the default is 15bit and from your xdpyinfo output: screen #0: dimensions:1680x1050 pixels (444x278 millimeters) resolution:96x96 dots per inch depths (7):15, 1, 4, 8, 16, 24, 32 so my reading is it's the default that's wrong there and the X server is saying it can do it; I wonder what happens if you create an X config file that specifies a depth - it might let you specify it. ** Changed in: xorg (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete = New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1173649 Title: incorrect color depth - intel graphics card To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1173649/+subscriptions ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

Chris can you explain that statement please; he's seeing 15bpp, I'd expect 24bpp and that's what I've seen everywhere else. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-intel in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1173649 Title: incorrect color depth - intel graphics card To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/1173649/+subscriptions ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
