 Posted: Wed Mar 14, 2007 3:23 am Post subject: Strange X11 issue, Red and Blue switched |
 |
|
| Here's a problem I've never seen or heard of. My XVR-500 seemingly wasn't supported by any xorg drivers, and i've got about 30 Sun PGX64's around so I threw one in. Seemed to load fine, but I thought KDE looked a little... weird. I went to google and the google logo looked strange to me. Sure enough when I searched for images I figured it out. The color red appears as blue and vice versa. I am using the fbdev Xorg driver because the ati one wouldn't find any devices, even though the pgx is actually an ATI Rage XL. Someone please help, after days I almost have this system where I want it. I tried screwing with xgamma but that doesn't really do anything. |

Have your tried using 16bit color map instead of 24bit?
I think I saw same behaviour on some sparc system, can't recall anymore when and where but something rings my bells here... and I think that using 16bit colors was only way to get colors fixed.

| Thank you for the suggestions, I'll give it a try. I filed a bug at freedesktop.org, but they want me on fbdev 0.3.1, which emerge claims is masked. |

Maybe I should boot up my Blade more often, the system I was refering earlier is actually my own 
But anyway, emerging 0.3.1 seems to fix the color-mixing issue, atleast on my system which has PGX64 too.
You can emerge the driver by accepting ~sparc keyword.

| How exactly do you accept ~sparc? I thought I tried that and it didn't work, maybe I did it wrong. |

ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~sparc" emerge xf86-video-fbdev
That should do the trick.

You shouldn't specify ACCEPT_KEYWORDS on the command line, as portage won't remember it. Instead do this: | Code: | | #echo "x11-drivers/xf86-video-fbdev" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords |

That is true for sure but when testing single keyworded ebuild I prefer command line keywording especially when there is no depencies to emerge along with the specified ebuild. After finding out if the keyworded ebuild suits my need or not, then I go for static keywording or revert back to older stable version.
