Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: totem
It looks like totem sets the XV_COLORKEY attribute of the xv port it
uses. But it would be nice if there was a way to change this value (it's
currently green).
The reason is the following: I have an ATI RV100 board, with a 16 bits
depth and compiz enabled. But with compiz enabled, the screen is
rendered using 3d textures. In this mode, the solid colors are not
exactly rendered solid, but rendered with a bit of noise. And when
viewing a video with totem, there's a lot of green pixels all over the
video, which is unacceptable.
There's three different possible workarounds:
- just don't use xv, but it uses a lot of cpu, and fulscreen video are less
nice than with xv.
- change the screen depth from 16 to 24, but with compiz enabled, it makes
epiphany scrolling to slow.
- and change the XV_COLORKEY to something else than the current green. For me,
a value of 1 works fine, but it's not a good default for all users. Currently,
since Totem changes this value, I need to launch totem first, then use xvattr
toe change XV_COLORKEY to 1, then play the video.
A gconf key for this parameter would be great.
Thanks,
Emmanuel.
