Ok, something good. I don't know why Gutsy insisted in forcing the Vesa driver instead of the neomagic...
Changing it on my /etc/X11/xorg.conf it worked better... at least the color is no longer purple. I'll keep testing it for a while and try to recreate the other nonsense that appeared when vesa was selelcted. In time, the edges are also correct, which means the issues were all related to vesa driver with neomagic chipset. Ubuntu was able to detect this correctly before? Or vesa used to work so much better I never realized I wasn't using the designated correct binary? Also good news, it is sensibly faster (drawing, moving windows, maximizing, minimizing)... and it's much brighter then in Feisty I still have to wait for the ACPI lava lamp to kick in or not. (by the way, it never happened in the login screen, only if I have already logged on) -- [gutsy] Wrong color pallet and sync issues after upgrade https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/150779 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
