Hi Ben,
I was looking into some of the LUT-related modesetting issues. I've
noticed the following... after I load nouveau, one of my secondary
GPUs shows this on first modeset (with drm.debug=4):

Note that at no point does it call any of the nv50_head stuff. This is
with just running 'modetest' pointed at the device. When I kill it,
the screen turns off and we get:

As one might expect, all the *clr functions get called. When I run the
exact same modetest command again, I get the following:

Among other things, it goes into nv50_head_lut_set. Odd, right?
Unfortunately the acronyms used in nv50_display.c are too cryptic for
me to decode (might I recommend putting some notes up top to explain
what all those 4-letter mnemonics stand for)... can you tell what's
going on?
The end result is that the LUT isn't set on first modeset, which in
turn means that indexed mode doesn't work. (It also doesn't work with
0xc0000000 -- I had to move it back to 0x80000000, as you can see in
the example above.)
