["Christopher M. Penalver" <christopher.m.penalver@xxxxxxxxx>]

Veiokej, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any
activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If
so, could you please test for this with the latest development release
of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com
/daily-live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in
the development release from a Terminal (with the computer you actually
have the issue with) as it will automatically gather and attach updated
debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p xorg 1322413

Please ensure you have xdiagnose installed, and that you click the Yes
button for attaching additional debugging information. As well, please
note given that the information from the prior release is already
available, doing this on a release prior to the development one would
not be helpful.

Thank you for your understanding.

Title:
  Radeon HD 8670M sets wrong color depth

Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  First of all, I disabled my computer by attempting to fix this, so
  unfortunately the hardware summary attached to this report is from an
  unrelated machine.  The problem is that when Ubuntu 14.04 boots, it
  sets a low color depth. This is visible because the default purple
  desktop background has stairstep color shading with dithering. I
  attempted to fix this by copying /etc/X11/xorg.conf.failsafe to
  /etc/X11/xorg.conf and inserting "DefaultDepth 24" before the last
  "EndSection".

  Plain vanilla 14.04 can't boot this video chip at all. You need this
  fix before you can see the above bug:

  ati/+bug/1301839

  If this can't or won't be fixed, then please inform as to how we
  should modify xorg.conf or whatever in order to get decent 24 or
  32-bit depth. In particular, at 1920x1080.
