I don't know if you can get the physical colour depth from the EDID but doubt it.
When I first encountered such a problem it was a Macbook Air 11" with Nvidia graphics. I was shocked, but the good news is that the Nvidia driver does temporal dithering, so it looks nice (once you turn that feature on). Such temporal dithering done in the driver looks much nicer than doing it statically in an image. And of course, this is only the wallpaper. We can't easily fix it for the graphics you see in your application windows. Changing wallpaper is a trivial workaround, but it does disappoint me that we're degrading the quality feel of the out-of-box experience. Anyway, it's up to design... P.S. I use this awesome image to test if a display is any good: http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/imagegallery/image_feature_347.html Looking at that gradient it becomes pretty obvious if you have a crumby 6-bit panel. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1081702 Title: Update the default wallpaper in 13.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ayatana-design/+bug/1081702/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
