I am running (mostly) stable amd64, and have this strange problem with nvidia-drivers >-100.0.0, the latest working one is 96.43.01. My proble is that when booting my computer the screen colors are totally wrong, it looks like there are some colors missing, and everything is a green or purple color. White pages (empty firefox etc) shows up as green, and other parts of the picture look purple.

I don't get any error messages that could give me any clues, and if I log out of the session (I am using fluxbox, but the screen has the wrong colors already) the colors sometimes returns to the correct ones.

Code:

Have you tried opening nvidia-settings and seeing if there was something wrong in the Color Correction section ?
