XFree86 - white pixel is blue

I just loaded the ISO on a 712/60 and setup XFree86 to use the fbdev driver. It seems to be OK, with the exception that "white" is "blue". If I xwd the root window dump and examine it on another X display, it looks fine.

I know the monitor and cable are good. Also, the "HP" logo seen at the boot is displayed correctly as is the STI text. I dug through the mailing list archive, but can't find a similar case.

Has anyone else seen this or have a suggestion of how to resolve the problem?

I'm including my XF86Config-4 file below.

This sounds like a a bug.
The ESIEE guys will be around tomorrow and I can ask them about it.

Hi,

I can confirm this behaviour now on my 715/64 too.

The only thing I recently changed on this machines was an upgrade to XFree 4.1.0-2 and nothing else. Furthermore, since this happens both with an old kernel (2.4.0-32) and the recent kernel (2.4.9-pa5) I'm assuming that it looks like a bug in the XFree86-fbdev driver.

Maybe someone on this list knows more, else I'll take a closer look at it tomorrow,

Helge
