Summary: display horribly rendered with radeon 7200 card on ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy) Product: xorg Version: 7.3 Platform: x86 (IA32) OS/Version: Linux (All) Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: medium Component: Driver/Radeon AssignedTo: xorg-driver-ati@lists.x.org ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] QAContact: [EMAIL PROTECTED] On my brand new ubuntu 8.04 install, the screen contents displayed by the radeon driver are horrible. It looks somewhat as if it has decided to render things in 4 bit color. Weirdly, the actual contents of the framebuffer appear normal. If I take a screenshot and transfer it to a system with a working display, all appears well. The (possibly) relevant packages on the system are: xserver-xorg-video-all 1:7.3+10ubuntu10 xserver-xorg-video-ati 1:6.8.0-1 This is a old radeon 7200 card, but it is not a hardware problem. The vesa driver renders things quite well (but, of course, 3D is not very speedy :-). http://home.att.net/~Tom.Horsley/ubuntu.png is a screen shot (showing the correctly rendered screen buffer while running with radeon driver). http://home.att.net/~Tom.Horsley/ubuntu2.png is a photograph I took of the actual rendering of the screen with the radeon driver. Not only are the colors wacko, but the text is extremely fuzzy (and not merely due to being a photograph). If I switch to the vesa driver, the screen looks like the 1st image above, so the card is clearly capable of working correctly.
