Bug Description
I am running Hardy 8.04 fine on my Asus A6B00U laptop with SIS M760 GX graphics I believe.
Yet on Intrepid I get full screen resolution (1280x800) but what seems to be about 4 colours (CYMK?) and massive dithering on all displays (windows (small 'w'!), pictures etc).
I notice that a 'screen shot' looks fine (when viewed on another machine) but the display does not, so I attach a camera photo for your interest.
Just once it booted 'right' and looked great, but after a load more updates it's all messed up again.
Sorry I can't get more technical. Your efforts are much appreciated!
Doug

I'm having problems with colors when using the SiS driver with XOrg 7.4. Before the update everything worked fine. More info with the screenshots is here: bugs.archlinux. org/task/ 12365

Right now I'm using a VESA driver, but it has smaller resolution. Besides, there's a problem with VESA: when I log out of X and then press Alt-F7 the system hangs.
