Public bug reported:
The driver nvidia-331 produces a scrambled screen on MacBook Air 3,2
(NVIDIA GeForce 320M) running a Trusty live system. It looks like the
attached image.
I have figured out in what way the display is scrambled. In a numerical
representation of the pixels that increments row-by-row (but where the
rows are 16*92=1472 pixels wide, although the screen is only 1440 pixels
wide), bits 4..10 become bits 9..15 and bits 11..15 become bits 4..8.
More precisely, this is the code I used to reproduce the scrambling:
---
int main()
{
cimg_library::CImg<char> img("desktop.png");
cimg_library::CImg<char> img2(1440,900,1,3);
for(int X=0; X<1440; X++)
for(int Y=0; Y<900; Y++)
{
int i = 896 + 92*Y + X/16;
if(i/4096 < 9) i = i/32%128 + i%32*128 + i/4096*4096;
int x = X%16 + (i-896)%92*16;
int y = (i-896)/92;
for(int c=0; c<3; c++)
img2(X,Y,0,c) = i>=896 ? img(x,y,0,c) : 0;
}
img2.save("scrambled.png");
return 0;
}
