Confirmed, -17 fails for both suspend and hiberation, but -16 works just
fine.

[Bug 32963] Re: totem overrides XV_CONSTRAST/XV_SATURATION to wrong default value (Xv movies on i810/i945 have horrible colour/gamma/contrast)

2008-06-02 Thread GFree
Since nothing seems to work for me as far as driver replacements go,
I've developed my own analysis and workaround for the problem, which
I'll share here in case people find it useful:

OK, now according to xvattr, my default values for brightness, contrast
and saturation are 0, 64 and 128 respectively. I do not use Totem, I
hate the GUI, but I do like using SMPlayer for most videos and VLC for
DVD playback. There are two problems though:

* The default values above are actually a little too high, even though they 
look like sensible defaults. For some reason, even after verifying the defaults 
are not being modified in something like VLC (which doesn't move them around at 
all), blacks are not entirely black and hence everything's slightly too bright.
* SMPlayer, unlike regular MPlayer, does like to modify the color values and 
screws things up entirely.

Hence, there are two tasks:

* To change the default values to something sensible so that VLC can show 
blacks as proper blacks and hence everything looks good.
* To stop SMPlayer from fuxxoring with the values itself.

After experimentation, I discovered that the issue of blacks could be
fixed if XV_BRIGHTNESS was reduced to about -12, but everything else
looked bright enough to be reasonable. I also discovered that if I ran
if I ran MPlayer with the following parameters:

-contrast -49 -brightness -9 -saturation -75

This would adjust all the balances to such that things would look fine.
To stop SMPlayer from going screwey, I went to the advanced section of
the options menu, put these parameters in the additional parameters
section, and so SMplayer worked beautifully. Also, VLC would show nice
blacks and colors if I ran SMPlayer at least once before, since it would
adjust the brightness as part of the new settings I gave it.

So yeah, that's what I did. A bit of a shame that an open-source driver
has this bug which cannot seem to be fixed and yet closed-source binary
blobs from NVIDIA work just fine, but there you go. Hope that's useful
to someone. :)

OK, that's three reasons. Guess I can't count. :D

@Thomas: Yeah, I'm using the unpatched driver for two reasons - (1) The
prebuilt version you've linked before is older than what's currently
available in the repos, (2) I don't want to build the driver myself, and
(3) when I tried the patched driver anyway, nothing changed for me.

As for the neutral settings for everything, the problem is that they
aren't actually neutral. I've seen what my videos should look like in
Windows, and blacks are black. These are not, not even with VLC, so
that's why I had to modify things. Also, I still needed to resolve the
issue with SMplayer messing with the colors, and that's my favorite
player. I'm using an Intel X3100 (965GM) in case it's important. In any
case, it's a solution that's worked for me, so I'm sticking with it. :)

[Bug 209654] Re: workspace switcher colours are unclear

2008-03-31 Thread GFree
I think it's too late to do anything about this -
HardyArtworkFinalDeadline was passed on March 13th, and I think theme
colors count. You can use the gnome-color-chooser, I think it's in the
hardy universe repo now, to modify this if you want.

[Bug 209647] Re: [Hardy] No interfaces when starting wireshark from menu

2008-03-31 Thread GFree
Confirmed, this is I suppose an oversight rather than a bug (splitting
hairs?)

The problem stems from the fact that regular users do not have
sufficient privileges to capture packets, so the interfaces are not
shown. http://wiki.wireshark.org/CaptureSetup/CapturePrivileges explains
this in a little more detail. Elevating privileges using gksu would do
the job nicely I think, as a suggestion.

[Bug 151499] Re: alt+tab crashes emerald

2007-12-12 Thread GFree
**SOLUTION**   **SOLUTION**   **SOLUTION**

I have found the solution! (at least for me)...

Load up the CompizConfig Settings Manager, and under the section of
options marked Utility, DISABLE Regex Matching. I have gotten to a
stage where I could reproduce the crashing of emerald at will (by alt-
tabbing between two open gnome terminals), but when I disabled regex
matching, all the problems went away and I couldn't get it to crash
anylonger.

I'm not sure how important regex matching is. I hear it's used for a few
other plugins, but I haven't seen anything major as a result of
disabling it. So there you go. :)

Confirmed, have the same problem here in Gutsy 64-bit.

Alt-tab is not guaranteed to crash Emerald all the time, but it is the
source of all crashes it would seem.
