Yes. The problem is caused by the fbdev driver using 8 bit width for its
RAMDAC and the X server uses 6 bits. Try teh UseFBDev option for the X
server.

MS: (n) 1. A debilitating and surprisingly widespread affliction that
renders the sufferer barely able to perform the simplest task. 2. A disease.

Re: nvidia fb 0.9.0

I saw earlier posts about this, but never heard any resolution...

Upgrading to a 2.4.2 kernel, my Riva128 based video card behaves strangely
in X; certain colors are dark.  The thing that confuses me is that not All
colors are dark; just some of them.  Redrawing parts of the screen changes
luminosity in those areas.  e.g. in windowmaker, some menus are dark, some
are normal.  A background set by xv is normal, but wmsetbg is dark, etc.

Is this a known problem?  Are there work-arounds?

I gave upgraded to 2.4.2pre on my RH7 box and while using riva-128 fb 
noticed when in X all the white parts of my desktop are to dark, it is 
almost unreadable. I think it might have to do with video timing, is 
there a way to fix this?
