FuturePast, Can you check that you're definitely using XV output in gxine and mplayer? Other outputs such as X11, OpenGL, etc. shouldn't have this problem. What about totem-gstreamer, can you see if it's still too bright with that?
Lionel, Can you check that totem's gstreamer backend is using XV? Compare the output of testing gstreamer-properties' video with and without XV. The problem clearly remains for me when switching between the outputs (XV is too bright, X11 is fine). Additionally, can someone please verify my steps in comment 84, and check if the same behaviour is experienced? https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg- video-i810/+bug/32963/comments/84 -- totem overrides XV_CONSTRAST to wrong default value (Xv movies on i810/i945 have horrible colour/gamma) https://launchpad.net/bugs/32963 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
