Anyway, this seems to be the problem; if I revert it, my colors are back. commit 773875bfb6737982903c42d1ee88cf60af80089c Author: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@xxxxxxxx> Date: Mon Jan 27 10:00:30 2014 +0100 drm/i915: Don't set the 8to6 dither flag when not scaling Apparently we really only need this when the pfit is enabled, at least I couldn't dicern any difference here. Furthermore the hacks we have to reconstruct this bit is a bit glaring, and probably only works because we can't move the lvds port to any other pipe than pipe B on gen2/3. So let's just rip this out. Bugzilla: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=77137 (the LVDS WARNING log, not the main "VGA can't be turned on" issue).
