Hi, I went down the path of attempting to create an xorg.conf file and gave up -- way too problematic (X -configure fails for a variety of reasons, both at root console / no x-windows and using :1 -- and the resultant xorg.conf.new file [if I even get one] is so plain jane it's useless to the common user). In any case, this is a bug as you point out (the default is wrong).
And, as in original bug report text -- ubuntu 12.10 is fine, along with 11.10 (skipped 12.04). Thanks. Of course, I'm hoping that, somewhere along the way, I simply do an "update" and xorg is upgraded auto-magically and the default then becomes the proper 24 or even 32 -- and I don't have to lift any fingers to do any kind of 1-off thingy a la xorg.conf (on a similar note, I have vi'd smb.conf for the last time and I will never vi smb.conf ever again -- I just run an ftp server and I'm done -- hence, I'm not editing xorg.conf, noting I can't even create one that's almost useful). - Craig On 04/27/2013 02:57 PM, Dave Gilbert wrote: > Huh, OK that's....weird > > >From your Xorg.0.log: > [ 40.999] (==) intel(0): Depth 15, (--) framebuffer bpp 16 > [ 40.999] (==) intel(0): RGB weight 555 > > so that's saying the default is 15bit > > and from your xdpyinfo output: > > screen #0: > dimensions: 1680x1050 pixels (444x278 millimeters) > resolution: 96x96 dots per inch > depths (7): 15, 1, 4, 8, 16, 24, 32 > > so my reading is it's the default that's wrong there and the X server is > saying it can do it; I wonder what happens if you create an X config > file that specifies a depth - it might let you specify it. > > > ** Changed in: xorg (Ubuntu) > Status: Incomplete => New > -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1173649 Title: incorrect color depth - intel graphics card To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1173649/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
