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: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [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.
