Description Alastair Neil 2010-05-12 19:41:10 UTC 
Description of problem:
applications have an over-bright washed out appearance, extremely unpleasant to use for any more than a few minutes at a time.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
mesa-dri-drivers-experimental-7.8.1-6.fc13.x86_64
xorg-x11-drv-nouveau-0.0.16-5.20100423git13c1043.fc13.x86_64
gnome-shell-2.29.1-4.x86_64

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.enable gnome-shell
2.put on dark glasses
3.brace for eye strain
  
Actual results:
over-bright poor contrast applications

Expected results:
normal appearance - no different from under compiz.


Additional info:

The only app that is unaffected is gnome-terminal, however only the main window is unaffected all the dialogs are affected by the problem.

This is using the Nouveau 3D support from mesa-drivers-experimental, right?

Yes

mesa-dri-drivers-experimental-7.8.1-6.fc13.x86_64
Comment 3 Owen Taylor 2010-05-21 16:42:17 UTC 
Nouveau 3D problem with texture from pixmap textures for windows without an alpha channel. Assigning to the DDX driver though as likely or more likely to be a Mesa problem.
Comment 4 Fabien Archambault 2010-06-18 07:38:34 UTC 
Same problem here. Even with an icc dedicated to the screen the colors are too bright in gnome-shell so it is unusable.

Comment 6 Kenny Armstrong 2010-09-11 00:20:41 UTC 
I am having the same problems here.  Fedora 13, not modifications, just newest nouveau driver and experimental 3d driver.
Comment 7 Gregor Hlawacek 2010-10-10 17:54:03 UTC 
This still exists :-(
Comment 8 Bruce Cowan 2010-10-10 18:54:48 UTC 
I've found that this no longer happens with Fedora 14 with a 9800 GT.
Comment 9 Ben Skeggs 2010-10-10 23:45:58 UTC 
Ok, this isn't going to be fixed in F13.  The numerous changes to the nouveau 3D drivers since F13 aren't easily backported and would require changes to other parts of the Mesa stack and potentially regress other drivers too.

However, as mentioned, F14 should work OK, and if not, these issues will be fixed there instead.
