ICC profile doesn't get applied when proprietary Nvidia driver is in use

[Laryllan]

Binary package hint: gnome-color-manager

Hi dear packagers!

The ICC profile set in gnome-color-manager doesn't get applied at system startup when the proprietary Nvidia driver is in use.

To reproduce this:
Use the Nvidia driver and change nvidia-xserver-settings. For example, force the use of anisotropic filtering. Log out.

As soon as the nvidia-settings tool ist started, the ICC profile is lost.
I guess this the drivers fault, but it could be avoided if the color profile is loaded after the custom Nvidia Xserver settings.

I don't really know if this is bug of the color-manager, Gnome or the Nvidia driver. But it can be avoided.

Many thanks for taking the time to read this report.
I hope it helps.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Probably it's not GCM bug but nVidia driver bug. Maybe it's will be resolved when nVidia proprietary driver get xrandr 1.2+ support, maybe not.
I suggest you contact with nVidia tech. support and inform they about this problem: http://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/ask
Or just use nouveau.

This has been happening for years, I think.

For me the color profile is also wrong after I resume from suspend. And as for "just use nouveau" in comment #3, it's not that easy: with my nvidia card, suspend does not work with nouveau, and neither do multiple monitors (X with nouveau hangs completely when I attach a second monitor).

That version is no more supported; please open a new bug report if the actual archive found version also has the same issue.
