to few colors on secondary display

Hello

I am experiencing that mye secondary display on my tv connect through hdmi gets to few colors, only grey, purple and green are shown. I am using the intel driver same issue with both 2.7.0 and 2.8.0rc1. I am running a minimal xorg.conf looking like this:

Section "Device"
    Identifier  "Card0"
    Driver      "intel"
    VendorName  "Intel Corporation"
    BoardName   "4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller"
    BusID       "PCI:0:2:0"
    Option        "AccelMethod" "uxa"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
    Identifier "Screen0"
    SubSection "Display"
        Viewport   0 0
        Depth     24
        Virtual   3040 1050
    EndSubSection
EndSection

This issue suddenly appeared a while after upgrading to 2.7.0. The issue also appears on debian unstable.

Any tips?

Re: to few colors on secondary display

Hmmm disabling tiling fixes it, but it's to have tiling since it improves rendering performance.

EDIT: hmm when I enabled it again, the issues is still gone...
