Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-radeon
When running Intrepid on Macbook Pro there is very clear banding in gradients including things like the heron desktop background. This seems to be caused by dithering not being enabled. Oddly, when I suspend then resume dithering becomes enabled and everything looks fine until I restart X.

Hi Jordan,
Like I mentioned, the patch I did was specific to hardware that's a bit different than yours, so won't fix the issue. However, it's likely that a similar patch may be possible that's particular to your hardware. However, to begin with we need to collect some hardware about particulars about your graphics card. I've prepared a debug -ati package that will print out the info I need. Can you please install this, restart X, and then collect and attach your /var/log/Xorg.0.log? It will have lines prepended by 'BWH: ' in them, which is the info I need.
http://bryceharrington.org/ubuntu/AtiDithering/
I've built both amd64 and i386 debs, and included -dbg packages for each.
Once we have the data, I can craft a dithering-enablement patch, however my experience with the other dithering patch was that it took a lot of bit fiddling to get the right settings. Do you know how to build .deb packages yourself? If so, I could point you to the flags and how to tweak them, so you can tinker with them directly. If not, I can make some guesses and we can iterate. |
