Intel Graphics Look Weird

I have been using Leap for a while now so I decided to try out Tumbleweed. Install well fine; no problems. When the desktop booted up the back ground looks weird as you can see in the screenshot. While running my Lenovo Ideapad B50-80 on Leap the background didn’t look like this. It was very smooth. Here is a copy of my lspci:

Hi
The default is running wayland… switch back to Xorg, logout and enter your name, select the little cog for desktop selection. If that’s better (and are happy) you can remove the gnome-session-wayland package and all will be good…

I tried what you said but it did not have any affect. The wallpaper still look like the screenshot.

Hi
Hmmm it looks like the XFCE one…

What does the output from the following show;


gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.background picture-uri

This is what it returned:

gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.background picture-uri —> ‘file:///usr/share/wallpapers/openSUSE-default.xml’

Hi
OK, mine is;


'file:///usr/share/wallpapers/openSUSE-default-static.xml'

Is wallpaper-branding-openSUSE installed?

Hey Folks, what are you discussing about? That’s the DEFAULT openSUSE wallpaper for Tumbleweed AFAIK, always seen that on TW.
If you don’t like it, install other wallpapers or just select an image from your Picture folder…
(Or copy the “Geeko in the lamp” wallpaper from a LEAP install media if you just like that).

Yes wallpaper-branding-openSUSE is installed. I also watched a video on YouTube last night and the video looked like the wallpaper looks. Especially like the black or darker colors. I don’t know if maybe this something in the kernel version that is causing this with my video card because like I said before I had no issue like this when running version 4.4 kernel. If you would like to me to take a screenshot of a video I can do that help resolve this issue.

Hi
Yes, but different shades of green/blue not the image itself :wink: On RPI3 Tumbleweed XFCE for the user it’s yellow/orange…

Maybe it’s the ICC profiles and the actual monitor settings?


zypper se -i icc-profiles

I have 9 packages installed…

Yes I also have 9 packages installed.

Hi
If you go to system settings and the color option and have a play with the profiles.

On my desktop system with VX924 monitors it looks more greenish, on the laptop it looks more bluish.

I’m guessing color profiles etc is the issue… no help on that front :wink:

Yeah I looked at that already. Only option that I have is to turn it off or on and that didn’t help my situation.

Hi
Hit the add button and then you can select ones to try… You brobably need to look at some calibration software.

Is this a laptop or standalone monitor?

OK, but no mention of that in the OP and the screenshot looks as it always looked on my systems… and the OP mentions “Haswell VGA” not RPI3 so I’m a bit confused
To have it look yellow/orange you must kill the blue channel (try on GIMP…) and no ICC profile I know of goes that far: apparently the digital image is OK (copy/paste screenshot to susepaste is OK) but the presentation on the monitor is weird?
My first guess would be: monitor wired through a VGA connector and the “blue” wire is broken. If so, trying an HDMI or other digital connection should work.
Second guess: a weird xorg.conf got in the way with weird Depth, FbBpp or Weight options in a Display section, like “24 bits sent, 16 read”, like 8R8G8B sent and 8R8Gxx read?

Hi
I only mentioned the RPI because with it’s gpu the desktop (on a old
Vx924) hdmi->dvi is a orange color… since I only use an actual screen
on the RPI on occasions then it must be monitor configuration and in
the eye of the user…

I guess that’s why they have profiles and such… never much worried
about them, I’m just happy to see text :wink:

Like I said, on the HP 255 laptop it looks bluish, on this desktop with
dual monitors, nvidia gpu etc it looks greenish. (This is the default
wallpaper).

I believe that I have found the problem but not sure how to fix it. Using kernel 4.4 here is my inxi -G output:

Graphics: Card: Intel Haswell-ULT Integrated Graphics Controller
Display Server: X.Org 1.18.4 drivers: intel (unloaded: fbdev,vesa)
Resolution: 1366x768@60.00hz
GLX Renderer: Mesa DRI Intel Haswell Mobile
GLX Version: 3.0 Mesa 12.0.6

Using the latest kernel here is my output:

Graphics: Card: Intel Device 0a16
Display Server: X.Org 1.18.4 drivers: intel (unloaded: modesetting,fbdev,vesa)
Resolution: 1366x768@60.00hz
GLX Renderer: Mesa DRI Intel Haswell Mobile
GLX Version: 3.0 Mesa 17.0.1

Is there a way to remove modesetting from the display driver?
