The similar thing happened to me with gxine on Ubuntu 8.04.1 using "intel" video driver in my xorg.conf, but xvattr reports attributes which seem to be normal.
The problem might be not with XV_* or not only with them. While MPlayer plays anything just fine (except of crashing with sig11 from time to time), first run of gxine distorts colors up to the end of X session (no actual reboot is required, only X session end). -- totem overrides XV_CONSTRAST/XV_SATURATION to wrong default value (Xv movies on i810/i945 have horrible colour/gamma/contrast) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/32963 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
