I had a look to Launchpad and the bugs I found are listed here: <a moz-do-not-send="true" href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/+bugs?field.searchtext=neomagic&search=Search+Bug+Reports&field.scope=all&field.scope.target=">https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/+bugs?field.searchtext=neomagic&search=Search+Bug+Reports&field.scope=all&field.scope.target=</a> But I didn't see nothing about wrong colors, just banding issues due to the lack of dithering on drivers. And Aere, did you try with a Lubuntu 12.04 live CD to see if the color are right? As far as I remember LXLE is focused to strongly support old chipsets too. Perhaps they are using some additional settings or different drivers. </blockquote> Federico: Thanks for the information. I will be pursuing it further, as you suggested. For now, the data-sheet I have on the machine, describes its graphics as follows: NeoMagic MagicMedia 256AV+ with 3.0 MB SGRAM. 128-bit accelerator and MPEG playback acceleration. The first link you supplied indicates something I think matches: <pre><big>MagicGraph 256AV+ (NM2230)</big> <big>I no longer have the Lubuntu 12.04 live CD because that system is no longer supported (and you probably can't download it anymore, though I didn't try). </big> </pre> I used the LXLE version of Lubuntu 12.04 because it is still supported. I plan to submit a bug documenting the problem. <pre class="moz-signature" cols="72">-- Sincerely, Aere</pre> </body> </html>
