I guess the problem is due to lack of dithering support in the driver - unlike nv driver which has an option to enable dithering.
I looked into documentation of `geeqie`, since it was also exhibiting the banding issue. Per /usr/share/doc/geeqie/html/GuideOptionsHidden.html dither_quality: Set the quality when dithering images on displays with a limited color pallet: 0: No dithering 1: Normal 2: Best So, in ~/.config/geeqie/geeqierc.xml I changed "1" to "2": image.dither_quality = "2" and that resolves the banding issue in geeqie. So, are there any hopes of getting a dithering option for the neomagic driver, similar to nv driver? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-neomagic in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/780074 Title: [neomagic] Gradient color banding/striping on Dell Latitude CPt/CPx _______________________________________________ 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
