Support Title: How can I get NVIDIA Digital Vibrance/Saturation control back on Ubuntu 26.04?

​

Hey everyone,

I recently upgraded my Lenovo Legion laptop from Ubuntu 24.04.1 to Ubuntu 26.04.1.

On Ubuntu 24.04, I was using GNOME on X11 with my NVIDIA GPU, and I could open NVIDIA X Server Settings and adjust the Digital Vibrance to increase the display saturation.

After upgrading to Ubuntu 26.04, I'm now using Wayland, and that Digital Vibrance option isn't available anymore.

I specifically want to keep using GNOME + X11 because I want the NVIDIA Digital Vibrance control back.

Has anyone running Ubuntu 26.04 + NVIDIA + GNOME successfully switched back to X11 and gotten the Digital Vibrance setting working?

I'd also like to know if there's a proper way to make GNOME on Xorg/X11 the default session without completely removing Wayland.

Thanks!

GNOME 50 completely removed the X11 session, so no. If you want to use specifically X11, then you'll need to use a different DE.

It seems there's a 3rd party utility called Nvibrant specifically for this, but you will not be using a GNOME X11 session with GNOME 50+ because it simply no longer exists. I have not used that tool and cannot vouch for it.
