https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=195096 Bug ID: 195096 Summary: Corrupted colours in X.org with nvidia-driver 340.46 Product: Ports Tree Version: Latest Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: Needs Triage Severity: Affects Only Me Priority: --- Component: Individual Port(s) Assignee: freebsd-ports-bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: jason.mann@gmail.com - Overview: nvidia-driver-340.46, the current version in ports/pkgs at this time, does not appear to work correctly with the GPU in my laptop when running X.org. The entire colour palette appears to be corrupted. - Steps to reproduce: Install X.org and nvidia-driver-340.56. Configure X.org to use the driver using nvidia-xconfig. Start X.org. - Actual results: When the system switches into graphical mode upon starting X.org, all colour is corrupted. Xterm windows that should be white are instead a shade of green, and all other elements on the screen are similarly miscoloured. - Expected results: Colour should be correct in X.org. - Hardware: Dell Vostro 1700 laptop, with NVIDIA GeForce 8600m GT GPU - confirmed as still supported by the current driver. - Additional Information: This problem occurs with both the prebuilt package and the port, with and without Linux support enabled. It did not occur with the previous 331.67 version from ports/packages. I downloaded and installed the newer 340.58 driver directly from NVIDIA. Colour was correct with this version. One of the "Release highlights" listed for this version is: "Fixed a bug that caused incorrect colors to be displayed on X screens running at depth 8 on some GPUs." Not sure if this applies to this issue though, as X.org was running in a 24-bit graphics mode, unless NVIDIA was referring to bits per colour channel when referring to depth. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
