Created attachment 1007233 [details] Comparison of colors of screenshot vs. photograph Description of problem: Running *any* GUI (not only MATE -- tested with GNOME 3 as well as WindowMaker, which is kind of my personal preference) the machine shows wrong colors.

In the comparison one can clearly see that while in the original picture CERNs hardware is painted in blue (as the screenshot shows), it's being displayed to the user as bright red, which is the wrong color.
Interestingly, installing F21 from DVD using anaconda runs like a charm -- and the colors are correct. A friend having the same config just verified it. AIX shows correct colors, so the graphics adaptor is okay.
options to explain whats going on include: 1 monitor used requires color correction 2 video driver is getting colors wrong 3 something mate-specific somehow (but initial comment says it happens everywhere, but that's possibly refuted by comment #4 So, to help rule out 1/2, what * kind of video card/chipset and driver are you using? * what brand/model of monitor? for 3, what F21 DVD? Fedora Workstation? (gnome uses colord to use color profiles for output devices, but not sure if it requires configuration or 'just works')
I guess you said "IBM GXT6500P frame buffer device" in Summary, not sure how that maps to which X driver is used though
Ad 1/2: It happens running WMaker, GNOME 3, MATE... it's independent of the WM used.

This message is a reminder that Fedora 21 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 21. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '21'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 21 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 21 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-12-01. Fedora 21 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
