Totem changes XVideo settings

[Jesse Rosenthal <jr2075@columbia.edu>]

Hello all,

I've noticed that Totem (0.99.22 on pure Sid, 2.6.7) had a washed-out,
pale picture. Furthermore, after I used it, all other apps which used the
XVideo driver (xine, mplayer) would look like this, though they hadn't
before. I finally traced the problem to the fact that when I run Totem, it
resets my XVideo settings (XV_COLORKEY, XV_BRIGHTNESS, and XV_CONTRAST).

Here is the output of xvattr when I boot into GNOME:

Found Xv 2.2
Adaptor: 0
Name: Intel(R) 830M/845G/852GM/855GM/865G Video Overlay
 Port: 60
  Name: XV_COLORKEY
   Flags: XvGettable XvSettable
   Min value: 0
   Max value: 16777215
   Current value: 66046
  Name: XV_BRIGHTNESS
   Flags: XvGettable XvSettable
   Min value: -128
   Max value: 127
   Current value: 0
  Name: XV_CONTRAST
   Flags: XvGettable XvSettable
   Min value: 0
   Max value: 255
   Current value: 64

And here it is immediately after running Totem:

Found Xv 2.2
Adaptor: 0
Name: Intel(R) 830M/845G/852GM/855GM/865G Video Overlay
 Port: 60
  Name: XV_COLORKEY
   Flags: XvGettable XvSettable
   Min value: 0
   Max value: 16777215
   Current value: 30
  Name: XV_BRIGHTNESS
   Flags: XvGettable XvSettable
   Min value: -128
   Max value: 127
   Current value: -1
  Name: XV_CONTRAST
   Flags: XvGettable XvSettable
   Min value: 0
   Max value: 255
   Current value: 127

Note that all three values have been shifted. If I log out of GNOME and
log back in, they all return to their original values.

This behavior makes Totem almost unusable for me, since it results in a
terribly blanched image. Any suggestion on how I can make this stop?

Thanks,
Jesse
