digikam messes up xv video output

2009-07-06 Thread oleksandr korneta

hello,

I am under fluxbox on Fedora 10 i386. After I run digikam the hue of my 
xv video driver gets messed up.


In order to understand what I mean look at the screenshots of mplayer 
with vo=xv in ~/mplayer/config

and after I ran digikam

if I switch to X11 or gl video output -- everything is fine, the colors 
are not distorted.


I don't run digikam too often, therefore have no idea when it started. 
Also I didn't find anything related in digikam's settings (display color 
management is disabled). So how do I fix this weirdness?


if it matters, here is the se of related (i think) packages installed on 
my system:


$ rpm -qa digikam*
digikam-0.10.0-1.fc10.i386
digikam-libs-0.10.0-1.fc10.i386

 $ rpm -qa qt*

I'm running F9 x86_64 and F10 i386 on x86_64 hardware, should this matter.

after some reading I found how to fix this problem on the fly without 
restarting the X-server (that used to be the only way I turn things to 
normal). Turns out that running nvidia-settings after digikam is closed 
restore the hue value. The Hue slider in nvidia setting window always 
remains o zero though, so I'm not sure what exactly is happening. And it 
clearly seems like a bug to me.

It's clearly a driver bug. Yet another bug in the crappy proprietary nvidia 
driver. That's what you get for using proprietary software.

you're right and I'd be happy to switch to everything open source when 
it's available.


seems like it's been around for a while, and there's been multiple 
workarounds in the software to avoid it.

surprisingly I ran into this only now.
