It's getting ridiculous that this bug isn't fixed. Anyway, here's a tip for people who are impatient:
1. Install xvattr: sudo apt-get install xvattr 2. Create a diversion from /usr/bin/totem to /usr/bin/totem.real as follows: sudo dpkg-divert --divert /usr/bin/totem.real --rename /usr/bin/totem 3. Create a new file called /usr/bin/totem, and add this into the file: #!/bin/bash # To fix contrast issues totem.real "$@" & sleep 5 xvattr -a XV_CONTRAST -v 64 xvattr -a XV_BRIGHTNESS -v 0 xvattr -a XV_COLORKEY -v 66051 xvattr -a XV_SATURATION -v 128 4. Finally, make this script executable: sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/totem Each time totem plays a movie, this script will force default XV settings. Why isn't this bug fixed yet? -- totem overrides XV_CONSTRAST to wrong default value (Xv movies on i810/i945 have horrible colour/gamma) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/32963 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
