Hi zvaral,

Upstream has a question for you regarding how you're determining it is 8-bit. If you are using data from the computer itself, please attach the relevant log or command output to the upstream bug report. If you're determining it visually please include a photo of the screen to the upstream bug report. This will help narrow in on where things are failing.

radeontool might also be useful to assist in debugging this issue. To install it from the command line, use this command:

    sudo apt-get install radeontool

After installing it, you run it like this:

    radeontool regmatch '*' > regdump_good.txt
    radeontool regmatch '*' > regdump_broke.txt

Run it two times. Once when you have a working screen (for any driver), and once in the broken case (either from the tty console or logged into the sick box remotely). Attach both of those to the upstream bug report. Thanks ahead of time!
