[Bug 33759] New: Some applications reset the X color profile
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=33759 Bug #: 33759 Summary: Some applications reset the X color profile Product: Wine Version: 1.5.31 Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org ReportedBy: liquitsnake(a)gmx.net Classification: Unclassified Some applications tend to reset the X color profile when they start. This profile is set by xcalib and shouldn't be mindlessly messed with. I could not determinate a pattern as to which programs do this. It seems games are especially prone. A simple test case: Get xcalib, and use it to set some random color profile, such as with xcalib -a -gc 5 Get CPU-Z. There is a simple no-installation zip available. Click away the initial error message and then watch as it resets the profile as it loads -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.

Even weirder: when that occurs, the color profile does not appear disabled in the Gnome control panel, so I need to disable it and to enable it in the UI for the colors to be back to normal. -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.

Does this still occur in Wine 1.7.44 or later?
Yes. Although CPU-Z doesn't cause it anymore, other applications still do. -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

It's presumably the gamma ramp that's being changed and not changed back (by the X11 driver, possibly on behalf of wined3d), not actually the "color profile" as such. -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.

Running with WINEDEBUG=-all,+icm,+mscms produces no output. The problem has been around for at least a year or two, and still exists in wine 1.7.45 with the wined3d-CSMT patch series from wine-staging. -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.

It's presumably the gamma ramp that's being changed and not changed back (by the X11 driver, possibly on behalf of wined3d), not actually the "color profile" as such.
My nvidia-settings control panel shows the color correction curves for red, green, and blue, along with a gamma setting of 1.0. When the problem occurs, those curves get flattened into a single straight line, and gamma remains the same. I think that means it's not just a gamma problem. Possibly worth noting: Older versions of wine (I think version 1.7.15 is an example) did this only at certain predictable points while playing Guild Wars 2. It happened when the launcher ran and when entering a new zone in the game. If I manually re-installed my color profile, it would stick until one of those transitions happened again, even if I switched to another virtual desktop in xfce and back to the game. In wine 1.7.45, it also kills my color profile whenever I switch back to the game's virtual desktop. -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.

https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=33759 --- Comment #10 from Forest <winehq(a)tibit.com> --- It *sometimes* restores my color profile after the game exits, but even when that works, it's not okay that it gets changed in the first place. I use other applications quite often while a game is running (it's a multitasking operating system after all, and virtual desktops/workspaces exist because they're useful). Having my carefully calibrated display all screwed up is really annoying. -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.

No, if you did not change the gamma it may not change at all. Typically only people who set it notice when Wine resets it to default. Still a problem with Wine 3.0 rc. Can't the gamma setting be optionally disabled? -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

Is the problem here that gamma gets changed "at all", or just that when quitting applications it doesn't get properly restored? Because in the first case.. well, that seems kinda working as expected (maybe UseXVidMode could be split or merged as AllowSetGamma, but still) In the second one, this seems very much similar to bug 37849, which is reportedly nvidia-specific (and also the last comment says this might have changed around 2021, but go figure out). -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.
