2018-03-01 06:31:56 Kai-Heng Feng description - Ubuntu 18.04 (with updates as of 14 Feb 2018). - Laptop: Asus Zenbook UX303 - CPU: Intel i5 4210U - Graphics: Intel HD 4400 Problem description: Colour artefacts and banding in all apps. Graphics, photos and videos display as though the colour range is improperly configured. See this photo of a 1080p video taken with a camera (poor quality, but illustrates the issue): https://ubuntucommunity.s3-us-east-2.amazonaws.com/original/2X/c/c8f266715226953c6a77db6367ff9b7895784e35.jpg Look at the sky’s light colours. They display with smooth gradients on Ubuntu 16.04, but as the photo illustrates 18.04 seems to display the video with a smaller range of white colours. This is the most apparent with either very dark or very light colours. Even on window titlebars the banding is visible (displayed as lines with different shades of grey/black). Compared with a PrtSc shot of the same image: https://i.imgur.com/VkOSCaQ.png The artefacts are not present on PrtSc shots that are taken on Ubuntu 18.04 but viewed on a different system (16.04 and Windows). Installing a previous kernel version fixes the issue completely. I used UKUU Update Utility to install kernel 4.4 (the same that I use in Ubuntu 16.04 without issues) and upon a reboot with 4.4 running on 18.04 everything displayed smoothly. So this indicates that the system might be using a sub-optimal colour depth with the newer kernel?

[Test] User reports the issue start appearing from v4.8-rc2. The issue is fixed with the patch. [Fix] Add a quirk to tell DRM that this panel only supports 6bpc. [Regression Potential] Low. This fix matches a very specific panel. === Original Bug Report === - Ubuntu 18.04 (with updates as of 14 Feb 2018). - Laptop: Asus Zenbook UX303 - CPU: Intel i5 4210U - Graphics: Intel HD 4400 Problem description: Colour artefacts and banding in all apps.
