30bit color depth makes gnome unusable

Nekroman · 2019-01-21 09:41:17

I have an LG display which support 10bpc and I have an nVidia GPU. I've tried to enable 30bit color depth in Xorg, but after that, mouse click doesn't work in gnome. Keyboard works fine, I can run some apps and click inside them, but almost no clicks works. Does anyone have any solution for this? Thank you.

Looks like linux doesn't support that yet.

While there's certainly a gazillion programs/toolkits blindly assuming 8bpc/rgb[a]/LE leading to LSD influenced colors and occasional segfaults (cause there's no bits 30&31…) "almost no clicks works" sounds odd, unspecific and unrelated.
@Nekroman, please elaborate on the issue and post an Xorg log

Sorry for my late reply. I've found that this is known bug in clutter?? Developers know about that, but no one is working on it since there aren't many developers with 10bpc displays so they just don't care about it.

I was able to work around this issue by blacklisting gnome-shell and gdm using /etc/drirc, so they won't run in 10bpc, but it's useless, because almost every application is broken. They have weird colors or are crashing. It's not worth your time.
