I set up a new system with

  • i5 3570k
  • gigabyte z77 d3h
  • using integrated graphics (HD4000)

and I've installed the 64bit Desktop version of 12.04. Connected to my Acer Screen via HDMI, the colors are horribly distorted. I think the biggest issue is that black appears as greenish. Over VGA everything is fine.

Interestingly, I once observed that connecting both, the VGA and the HDMI cable at the same time, solved the issue. Ubuntu thought 2 screens were connected, I mirrored the image, and over HDMI the colors looked fine. However, after a reboot I am now unable to reproduce this behavior.

I read frequently, that Intel hardware should be supported out of the box by Ubuntu but it doesn't seem to be the case here. Should I upgrade my Kernel? If so, which version would you recommend?

Thank you for your answers!

  • Just installed the Kernel version 3.6 and it fixed the problem. So far no unwanted complications, but I've only been using it for 5 Minutes.

I am having the same issue, except I am connecting it to a Samsung HD TV. If I don't set it to 1920 × 1080 the colors are fine, but things are blurry of course.

  • For me changing resolution does not solve the issue. Colors are still distorted.

DELL support center said to me : You have to upgrade your driver ! If I had a Windows 7 they could help me which new sofware would fix my problem because DELL sell its computers officially not with Ubuntu !
I have Dell 5720 laptop but I can not drive my SAMSUNG TV correctly . There is a picture : always in two colors !!! And my touchpad can not work with double-click after 5 minutes. I could only click with the left button !! For the time being nobody could really help me to fix the above mentioned problems .
