The kernel rebuild will be required here. I plan to upload the kernel code with the fix on GitHub within this week, along with a build guide (two weeks at most; everything depends on the workload at my work).

Also which version are you using 18.04 or the latest?

I am using the latest version.

WhisperingWind With Stillcolor enabled. (i.e. no dithering) Just some applications that mostly use system UI components like System Settings, Finder, also a screenshot of any browser displaying this thread in this forum (as I'm familliar with the UI of this site and will be able to detect if there's any anomalies in the colors). Use light mode

(If I can't find anything in the first general UI screenshots you take, then I can put together some more specific test patterns that I can send you)

But first I just want to see some basic app UI but as a PNG frame capture taken through the lossless capture card

For each example, send me both a direct PNG frame taken from the lossless capture card in addition to a "standard" PNG screenshot taken through normal methods, so I can compare what's "supposed" to show vs. what's actually being output in the HDMI video signal.

This is what i've got:

Only software rendering. which is good.

moonpie I know. I optimize for the system with the least eye-strain.

And this is a desktop, so it's easier, because power isn't an issue.

Windows 11

On the ARC A770, I was only able to enable 6-bit in Windows 11 when ACM was turned on, which unfortunately is not usable.

Lubuntu and my monitor

I ran Lubuntu in 6 bits without dithering and noticed that the white background has a slightly golden tint, which leads to a bit of disorientation (but much less than with dithering enabled) when reading from the screen. I'll try to change the monitor, but I'll be able to do that sometime in December.

This is something related to color profiles or the monitor, as recording a white background through the HDMI recorder and analyzing it with a colorimeter showed that it true white. Here is the part of the image: https://ibb.co/5RxRbSD

Thank you, I will try changing the fonts and smoothing

WhisperingWind What happens when using 8 bit you fill the screen with the color (11111100, 11111100, 11111100)?

I used 10-bit because my recorder can only record 10-bit uncompressed. I switched to 10-bit using the xrandr utility.

I recorded the browser window with ledstrain.org, and measured the color of the white background with a colorimeter.

I don't know exactly how mapping occurs in a graphics card, but I think that (111111, 111111, 111111) would be automatically mapped to (1111111111, 1111111111, 1111111111) in the case of 6-bit recording using a 10-bit recorder.

BTW, i've noticed that in my distro(ZORIN) , which is based on ubuntu,

1/ When the version is based on ubuntu 22.04 the white is bright and less comfortable.

2/ When the version is based on ubuntu 18.04 the white is muted and more comfortable. I think also the other colors are muted too, but not sure.
