Catalyst driver causes whites to turn yellow in external display when EDID is enabled.

Hi,

Hopefully someone can shed some light on this matter.

I read the AMD released a new version of the catalyst drivers, but I found I can't use those but whatever Dell releases. So I downloaded and installed the drivers for the 6970 for my M17x R3. By default, it seems these new drivers come with the EDID option disabled. After installing, I enabled the option as it had been working normally with the prior version.

The problem is that now all whites turn to yellow if I enable the option.

I tried re-installing the drivers (after complete removal).

I tried switching from DisplayPort to DVI.

I tried using the 'Restore Defaults' option in both the monitor (U2311H) and the catalyst drivers.

I am guessing this is either a registry error or driver/reporting issue.

Thanks in advance for any help!

 

Hi, still looking for insight about this issue.

Some other symptoms are:

- Blue-ray/DVD movies are displayed normally (colors, including whites are correct)
- Colors are normal if I switch to the Intel adapter.
- If i rollback to the prior version of the driver, colors are normal when EDID is on.
