For the sake of the 'f12beta' blocking, I will note that I did not reproduce this, loading the same kernel and nouveau versions yesterday. Colors looked fine. My hardware is a 9400 GT, which Ben knows all about :)

If I'm reading this correctly, there seem to be a significant amount of smolt profiles with this adapter.

http://smolts.org/reports/view_device/NV44%20%5BQuadro%20NVS%20285%5D

I'm trying to see if there's any way to reach out to them.

Comment 6 Adam Williamson 2009-07-24 19:19:44 UTC
yeah, I think you are reading it right. looks like a common workstation card.

Comment 7 Ben Skeggs 2009-08-04 05:45:31 UTC
No real ideas here at the moment, especially if it didn't happen in F11, not a lot changed that could be responsible in those builds.

How're things with latest kernel, xorg-x11-drv-nouveau and libdrm from rawhide?  Nouveau will default to kernel modesetting for the card now, it'd be interesting to know results with/without nouveau.modeset=0.

Comment 8 James Laska 2009-08-05 21:07:34 UTC
Well, good news.  I'm no longer seeing this issue with the F-12-Alpha test compose on the hardware previously exhibiting this issue.

I'm comfortable with closing this out for now and reopening should the problem resurface.

Comment 9 Ben Skeggs 2009-08-05 23:16:55 UTC
Ok, glad to hear it!  Please reopen if it reoccurs!
