Bug#163815: xserver-xfree86: [trident cyber9397] colour palette screwed up, requiring power off
Package: xserver-xfree86
Version: 4.2.1-1
Severity: important
Tags: sid
On starting XFree86 4.2.1, the video palette in all depths (8/15/16/24)
is screwed up. It appears that the colours are being mapped to the VGA
palette, in that only 16 colours are available, and they are repeated
through the rest of the palette.
This condition persists, even if you reboot to Windows 98SE, or revert
to 4.1.0-17, and is only fixed by a complete hard reset. The hardware is
an IBM Thinkpad 770 (type 9548) laptop.
