There's a few possibilities we can look into: a) totem-preferences.c, or b)
changing the i810 driver's contrast handling.

[Bug 32963] Re: Xv movies on 810/i945 gives horrible color, Gamma
Hi all, I had the same problems as mentioned here. On second time playing a movie using xv in xine or any other xine-based app, the colors would be totally distorted. Only restarting X would resolve the problem. On the other hand, when playing movies in mplayer, the colors seemed to be washed out and too bright. Anyway, I was able to solve the problem by installing the latest xorg i810 drivers (which were actually released today). They can be found here: http://www.t2-project.org/packages/xf86-video-i810.html Compile and install them, restart X and everything works fine. I also noticed that my screensaver (in KDE) is working now, it did not work with the old i810 driver. Please note that make install installs the driver to /usr/local/lib/xorg/modules/drivers, while the modules (at least on my debian) are located in /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers. Back-up the original i810_drv.so and then replace it by the shiny new one (X might crash, thus doing this from a text console would be the safe way out) Happy kaffeine-ing -- 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

I have similar washed out videos under some circumstances with an Intel Corporation 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device using the i810 driver. This is a Dell Inspiron 710m. I'm running 6.06 LTS originally installed from an official CD with whatever updates apt offered me. My impression is that it is a totem-xine and gxine bug. If I watch movies with xine (from the xine-ui package) or mplayer after an X restart then everything is fine. xvattr information (given later) is not changed by running xine or mplayer. Movies under totem (totem-xine) are washed out. The values reported by xvattr change, but are reset after closing totem. Moves subsequently play ok in xine or mplayer. Totem can also play movies fine if xvattr values are fixed after starting totem. Movies under gxine are washed out, xvattr values are changed (although not to same values as by totem) and stay changed. Movies in xine or mplayer are washed out until an X restart or xvattr stuff changed back by hand. Again gxine plays fine if fix xvattr values by hand while gxine running. I get the following xvattr output after X restart: and stays the same after running xine(-ui) or totem(-xine): % xvattr Found Xv 2.2 Adaptor: 0 Name: Intel(R) Video Overlay Port: 73 Name: XV_COLORKEY Flags: XvGettable XvSettable Min value: 0 Max value: 16777215 Current value: 66046 Name: XV_BRIGHTNESS Flags: XvGettable XvSettable Min value: -128 Max value: 127 Current value: -5 Name: XV_CONTRAST Flags: XvGettable XvSettable Min value: 0 Max value: 255 Current value: 48 The values are reset after closing totem, but while it is running I get: % xvattr Found Xv 2.2 Adaptor: 0 Name: Intel(R) Video Overlay Port: 73 Name: XV_COLORKEY Flags: XvGettable XvSettable Min value: 0 Max value: 16777215 Current value: 66046 Name: XV_BRIGHTNESS Flags: XvGettable XvSettable Min value: -128 Max value: 127 Current value: -1 Name: XV_CONTRAST Flags: XvGettable XvSettable Min value: 0 Max value: 255 Current value: 127 After running (and closing) gxine I get: % xvattr Found Xv 2.2 Adaptor: 0 Name: Intel(R) Video Overlay Port: 73 Name: XV_COLORKEY Flags: XvGettable XvSettable Min value: 0 Max value: 16777215 Current value: 66046 Name: XV_BRIGHTNESS Flags: XvGettable XvSettable Min value: -128 Max value: 127 Current value: 0 Name: XV_CONTRAST Flags: XvGettable XvSettable Min value: 0 Max value: 255 Current value: 128 I've been fixing color washouts by running: xvattr -a XV_CONTRAST -v 48 ; xvattr -a XV_BRIGHTNESS -v -5 Why (with the default settings, which I haven't touched) don't totem/gxine just leave the xvattr settings alone? -- 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

[Bug 32963] Re: Xv movies on 810/i945 gives horrible color, Gamma
Okay, a friend of mine has this problem on a Dell Inspiron laptop running Dapper, with totem-xine. If I remember rightly, the same problem was appearing with MPlayer as well. We didn't try xine-ui. She did not have the problem on the same laptop with Breezy, when she was using xine-ui. Turning down the brightness and contrast in Totem can alleviate the problem somewhat, but can't seem to get it quite right. It feels as if there is an extra setting, maybe gamma or something, that is mis-set, and Totem doesn't provide access to it. The problem she has looks very similar to the one in the screenshot on the following bug report: https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+bug/47566 the author of which believes it to be a duplicate of this bug. I don't have access to this Dell laptop right now, but can get to it on Sunday or Monday. I'll add the backports and updates repositories and download all the latest updates and see if the problem still occurs. If it does, I'll post lshw and xorg.conf for the laptop here. I would like to know what else I can post that will be most useful for getting this bug fixed. If you can ask me for something before Sunday then I'll post it, but I'm only going to have a short window of access to the laptop.

Now that I know this is a contrast setting problem, I can adjust it. It's not good but I'll do okay. But there are lots of people with computers like my Dell Inspiron 6400 with the default Intel controller. This really needs to be fixed. Badly.

After some help, I now have this info about my video card: :00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device (rev 01) One of my main uses for my computer is producing cartoon animation, so I'd really like to get this color issue figured out. I tried the xvattr fixes listed above and saw some improvement - videos are at least watchable now. But the color still isn't really right. If/when this bug is fixed (if it is a bug and I'm in the right place) how will I learn what to do to apply the fix to my computer? Is this one of those things that will automatically update?

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

Okay, those numbers are pretty much correct (or at least *appear* to be
what they should be). Can you try doing things (playing videos etc) to
try an get them to change?
The Brightness is -5, Contrast is 48.
Can you include the version of 'totem' you are using (-gstreamer or
-xine):
dpkg -l | awk '/totem-/{print$1,$2m$3}'
(The '#' in the format string means to convert the number in to the
alternate form, for hexadecimal numbers this starts the number with an
'0x'. See 'man 3 printf' for more information).

The same values are shown even when totem is playing. When I slide

work when the contrast is in the middle.
