Hi, I downloaded CSI and a NCIS video a while ago. I'm trying to watch it but it is really dark. I am using kmplayer with mplayer for the backend. I found where it says you can adjust brightness and contrast but they don't do anything. The screen looks fine outside of watching a show. Here is some emerge info just in case I missed a USE flag or something:

This is a older system but I have a Nvidia FX-5200 video card which generally works fine for me. Am I missing something? Thanks. Dale :-) :-)
