Package: xserver-xfree86 Version: 4.2.1-1 Severity: important Tags: sid On starting XFree86 4.2.1, the video palette in all depths (8/15/16/24) is screwed up. It appears that the colours are being mapped to the VGA palette, in that only 16 colours are available, and they are repeated through the rest of the palette.
This condition persists, even if you reboot to Windows 98SE, or revert to 4.1.0-17, and is only fixed by a complete hard reset. The hardware is an IBM Thinkpad 770 (type 9548) laptop. -- Package-specific info: 00:03.0 VGA compatible controller: Trident Microsystems Cyber 9397 (rev f3) 00:03.0 Class 0300: 1023:9397 (rev f3) Section "Files" FontPath "unix/:7100" # local font server FontPath "unix/:7101" # xfs-xtt server # if the local font server has problems, we can fall back on these FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc" FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/cyrillic" FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/:unscaled" FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/:unscaled" FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/Type1" FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo" FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi" FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/defoma/CID" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/defoma/TrueType" FontPath "/usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/truetype" EndSection ### BEGIN DEBCONF SECTION # XF86Config-4 (XFree86 server configuration file) generated by dexconf, the # Debian X Configuration tool, using values from the debconf database. # # Edit this file with caution, and see the XF86Config-4 manual page. # (Type "man XF86Config-4" at the shell prompt.) # # If you want your changes to this file preserved by dexconf, only make changes # before the "### BEGIN DEBCONF SECTION" line above, and/or after the # "### END DEBCONF SECTION" line below. # # To change things within the debconf section, run the command: # dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86 # as root.
