Huh, OK that's....weird >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 Bugs, which is subscribed to 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 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
