As you suggest running mplayer with -vo x11 displays normal colors, and -vo xv displays "reversed" colors. Is it possible to control the video output method for totem and/or gnome-mplayer? If so, how? I suspect there *is* a bug in the driver, since I've never seen this problem before. Maybe it's time to switch back to the free drivers. I'd like to report the bug, and (as I wrote before) a test file would be extremely useful for this. Vlc is available from the rpmfusion repo. What are its special good qualities as compared with mplayer and/or totem?
