I just want to add that I too am experiencing the above problem with xv in dapper. I have a "Intel Corporation Mobile 915GM/GMS/910GM L Express Graphics Controller" as given by lspci. I am using the defauly i810 driver in my xorg.conf.
The problem first appeared when I upgrade to dapper yesterday (2006/06/04). Using mplayer with -vo xv option the contrast and the brightness of the video are incorrect. This problem also appears in totem (i believe it is also using the xv option). With mplayer, this problem goes away if I using -vo gl or -vo gl2. This problem also goes away (or at least this might just be covering it up) when I set the contrast in totem to about 25%, this fixs it for both totem and mplayer and remains fixed even after restart. Changing the contrast in the above method does not fix the problem all the way though, the values of the contrast and brightness appear they still need tweaking, which I might do latter if I have time. -- Xv movies on 810/i945 gives horrible color, Gamma https://launchpad.net/bugs/32963 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
