How is this xorg related, the problem manifests before xorg loads. Thanks for the response, that helps me better understand. Has there been any movement on this? I'm not updating kernels since I reported this problem. Problem still exists with kernel version 4.8.6-201. Upgraded to fedora 25, kernel Linux daw3.ldev 4.9.9-200.fc25.x86_64 #1 SMP Thu Feb 9 17:28:13 UTC 2017 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux Problem still exists. Disabling frame buffer fixes this. Added nomodeset to kernel commandline. Seems when the framebuffer is created at boot, it changes not only the resolution of the console, but the color palette. I tried a Ubuntu 16.04 livecd as well as F25 livecd and saw same behaviour. This is upstream kernel. |
Description of problem: Kernel update 4.7.2-201 makes the display have 'washed out' colors. It appears that when the console is resized during boot, black turns to dark grey, and all other colors appear 'washed out'. This washed out appearance is also evident once xorg loads, and the login dialog appears. After login the washed out appearance remains. 4.6.7-300 kernel does not have this behavior.
