wrong colors on powerpc g4 imac

[Lenin]

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-nouveau

i get absolutely wrong colors on this type of computer with this driver. the nv driver shows the colors right.

Description: Ubuntu lucid (development branch)
Release: 10.04

Version: 1:0.0.15+git20100219+9b4118d-0ubuntu4

I've tried version 1:0.0.15+git20100329+7858345-2 (debian experimental) on a slightly different nvidia card g4 imac, and that worked)...

The machine causing the problem has this video card:
0000:00:10.0 0300: 10de:0174 (rev a3)
0000:00:10.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV17 [GeForce4 440 Go] (rev a3)

There don't appear to have been any interesting commits to the driver between our snapshot and Debian's. It's likely there's something else at work here.

Would you be able to build the packages from the xorg-edgers PPA locally? The PPAs don't build for PPC, sadly. That's a newer snapshot of the nouveau driver parts; if that works then we know there's some fixes missing from Lucid.

either that, or the version of vga card i have with ubuntu is just not supported yet. the one that works
with debian is slightly newer:
0000:00:10.0 0300: 10de:0189 (rev a2)
0000:00:10.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV18 [GeForce4 MX with AGP8X (Mac)] (rev a2)

The differences I can think of are these:

ii libdrm-nouveau1 2.4.18-1ubuntu2 Userspace interface to nouveau-specific

ii xserver-xorg-video-nouveau 1:0.0.15+git20100329+7858345-2 X.Org X server -- Nouveau display driver (ex

(the nouveau driver needed this or a newer libdrm-nouveau dev package to build)
