I was recommended to repost this problem to this list. I was initially under the (incorrect) impression that this was for developers only. Sorry for the cross-post.
Hello, I recently upgraded to the ati driver 6.7.195 on a Linux-system running kernel 2.6.23.1 and KDE 3.5.8. Distribution: Slackware (-current) on an HP Compaq nc4000 laptop with ATI Technologies Inc RS200/RS200M AGP Bridge [IGP 340M]. X.Org X Server 1.4.0 The Problem: The system appears to have only 16 colours, so that the display looks as if I took a grey filter and put in front of the screen. In console mode (Ctrl-Alt-F6) colours etc are both sharp and fine all the time. The Quirk: If I hold the "closed-laptop-lid"-detection button down when X starts, it comes up with correct colour-settings as it should. However, when I switch virtual terminal (Ctrl-Alt-F6 and back) it goes back to the bleak colours. I have tried this on multiple kernels with the same problem. Also, since it sometimes works (with the laptop-lid-workaround described above), I suspect it's not a config problem. The previous driver I ran, 6.6.192 worked just fine. Unfortunately I am quite new at this, so I have included as much information as possible attached, namely the Xorg.0.log, the xorg.conf and output from xdpyinfo. If anyone could kindly point me in the right direction where a solution or workaround might be documented I would greatly appreciate it. Please let me know if the attached information is in any way insufficient and I'll promptly send more relevant information. Thanks in advance! ------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------
