Bug#785448: xserver-xorg-video-ati: Screen is badly tinged with green when using the open source driver

[Owen Riddy]

No worries.

It turns out that the problem was the "Color Format" of my screen. Dunno
what that is, but it was configuring poorly and the open source driver
seems happier when it is set to RGB rather than YCbCr. Maybe Catalyst is a
bit more forgiving or maybe there is some configuration issue here I don't
understand.

My problem is solved; there may still be a minor bug here in how the
auto-configuration of the driver works.
