I have an old computer with an FX5200 AGP card. I've tried to update it
this weekend to the latest Tumbleweed and the colors in X are all
scrambled. Only the colors are wrong and it looks like the order of the
bits is reversed or something: the tinier the expected color variation,
the more drastic the actual result. I can't find any parameter that
seems to influence that and searching the bugbase has also come up
empty. Does somebody has an idea of what to try?
Regards,
Achim.

I noted the same in this openSUSE forum thread:
https://forums.opensuse.org/english/get-technical-help-here/tumbleweed/4825…
Its not just Tumbleweed. openSUSE-12.3 beta1 has the same problem. I
wrote a bug report here: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=800686
... I'm thinking also a bug report on https://bugs.freedesktop.org may
be necessary ... but I have not been well and I'm waiting for some
feedback before I expend the energy to write the same bug report on
freedesktop (ie upstream).
wrt Tumbleweed, if you roll back the kernel like I did in the thread I
quoted, you will have your Tumbleweed working again.

Thanks for chiming in. If it's the KMS stuff then I'm golden: I have
the latest two working kernels (plus the new one) still installed on the
machine. I'm not sure when I will get around to test this, but I'll let
you know.

Achim.

Booting the machine with the previous 3.4.6 kernel (yes it's been a
while before I updated again) resolves the problem.

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=60516 on the nouveau driver
with the 3.7 kernel. This is my 1st upstream bug report (that I can
recall) so hopefully I managed submitting it correctly.
I also note two other GNU/Linux distributions with the 3.7 kernel (one
slackware based and one Ubuntu based) have the identical symptoms with
the nouveau driver and the 3.7.x kernel when using the nvidia FX5200
graphic hardware (on the identical PC).

As a note, a test kernel-3.7.10 was posted to the
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=800686 (comment#11) raised
on openSUSE-12.3, which I tried out on my PC with the FX5200 graphic
card. The test kernel works with the nouveau driver on openSUSE-12.3 GM
version with the nouveau driver. I'm hopeful that this patch will make
it into future openSUSE releases, and possibly into an official
openSUSE-12.3 kernel update ?? (I'm waiting to see the kernel poster's
response).
I can't tell the source of the patch (local or upstream) as doing a "
rpm -qp kernel-desktop-3.7.10-0.i686.rpm --changehistory " shows various
updates but does not make clear to me (with my limited knowledge) as to
which patch addressed the nouveau driver problem.
But I am very happy to see / test the test kernel (which works !! ) . :)
