I'm having a problem which might be similar to this one, except the color distortions are even worse.
I have an iMac with a Mobility Radeon HD 2600 XT. I've included a picture. This is on a fresh install of Ubuntu 12.04 without the fglrx driver installed (as it doesn't install for me and this time I haven't even tried to install it). I can provide more details if needed. Do you think I'm in the right place here? ** Attachment added: "Screen state after resume" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-ati/+bug/510001/+attachment/3440218/+files/2012-11-21%2011.52.41.jpg -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-ati in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/510001 Title: [RV410] Color depth degradation after resume (ATI Mobility Radeon X700) Status in X.org XServer - ATI gfx chipset driver: Confirmed Status in “xserver-xorg-video-ati” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Binary package hint: yelp After resuming my Acer laptop (with Ati Radeon x700) from suspend, the color depth of X changes to 8 bit or similar.
