2006-03-28 11:14:47 Paul Sladen xserver-xorg-driver-i810: statusexplanation Hi Alan, can you post: lspci -n | grep 0000:00:0 I think the appropriate IDs were added after Flight 5 (so Flight 6 should have them). Second part of the question; this Xv distortion has also been posted elsewhere. Seems to be related to the brightness/constrant setting being defaulted to an extreme value rather than in the centre. Can you adjust them under Xine or Mplayer?

2008-05-08 05:27:11 Mantas Kriaučiūnas description I bought a new desktop with a Foxconn 945G7MA-8EKRS2 motherboard [1]. I installed Dapper Flight 4 and bug 27180 occurred. I chose i810 and results in a working X. However, whenever I play video, the colors are distorted very much. I tried with mplayer and found that if I switch the video driver from "xv" to "gl", then colors will be ok, but very slow. Of course, totem won't let me switch the driver either --- Where has "Multimedia System Selector" gone? I cannot test using Breezy since it hangs somewhere during booting the Live CD. sltam@beech:~$ sudo lspci -v ... 0000:00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 945G Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02) (prog-if 00 [VGA]) Subsystem: Foxconn International, Inc.: Unknown device 0cc0 Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 193 Memory at fdf00000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=512K] I/O ports at ff00 [size=8] Memory at d0000000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=256M] Memory at fdf80000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=256K] Capabilities: [90] Message Signalled Interrupts: 64bit- Queue=0/0 Enable- Capabilities: [d0] Power Management version 2 ... My monitor is LG L1950S. [1] http://www.foxconnchannel.com/products_motherboard_2.cfm?pName=945G7MA-8EKRS2 Totem (in some Ubuntu versions only -gstreamer or -xine variants) overrides XV_CONTRAST/XV_SATURATION to wrong values, this causes viewing movies with accelerated XV Intel and I810 drivers (i855/i810/i945/etc video cards) have horrible (distorted) colors/gamma/contrast/brightness (in such case it's pretty hard to set correct color balance in totem's preferences, often you need to change not only contrast, but also saturation from standard values). Most other media players (vlc, mplayer, gxine, etc) doesn't have this problem, AFAIK. Also this problem disappears by changing video output driver from XV to X11. Note: XV_CONTRAST/XV_SATURATION should be reseted to real defaults before running another media player, as in most cases totem changes XV_CONTRAST/XV_SATURATION for whole session, until you reboot. In some Ubuntu versions (for example in Ubuntu 7.10 "Gutsy") this problem appears only with totem-xine, in other (e.g. 8.04 "Hardy") - only with totem-gstreamer, AFAIK problem is in both totem variants in older Ubuntu versions (e.g. 6.06 "Dapper"). Example of testcase (applies to Ubuntu 8.10 Hardy's driver, as well as Debian experimental, date 2008-04): System: Dell Inspiron 510m, 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device (rev 02) xserver-xorg-video-intel package version 2:2.2.1-1ubuntu12 Test case: 1. Install "xvattr" package 2. Reboot system, and get "base" settings for XV, i.e. "xvattr >xvattr.default" 3. Open a movie using a different movie player (totem-xine, totem-gstreamer, vlc, mplayer, gxine, etc), close it, then get a new reading via xvattr; e.g. after playing a movie in VLC: "xvattr >xvattr.vlc" (or during the play) 4. Compare files, e.g.: diff -u xvattr.default xvattr.vlc 5a. If there is a difference, you will need to reset xvattr to "default" settings before trying another movie player (this can be done by rebooting computer). 5b. If there is no difference, repeat step 3 & 4 with a different movie player. Expected results: No movie players change XV settings Actual results: Totem (only using the gstreamer backend) and SMplayer (this can be another bug) causes XV settings to change each time a movie is opened. No other movie player (including totem-xine and mplayer) causes this problem. conn@inspiron:~/intelbug$ diff -u xvattr.default xvattr.totem-gstreamer --- xvattr.default 2008-04-24 00:07:00.000000000 +0100 +++ xvattr.totem-gstreamer 2008-04-24 00:08:14.000000000 +0100 - Current value: 66046 + Current value: 66051 Name: XV_BRIGHTNESS Min value: -128, Max value: 127 - Current value: 0 + Current value: -1 Name: XV_CONTRAST Min value: 0, Max value: 255 - Current value: 64 + Current value: 62 Name: XV_SATURATION Min value: 0, Max value: 1023 - Current value: 128 + Current value: 125 [..] Test Case 2: 1. Get default settings from fresh startup, before launching any movie players, i.e. xvattr >xvattr.default 2. Repeatedly open a movie in totem-gstreamer, then close movie and record xvattr settings, i.e. totem /usr/share/example-content/Experience\ ubuntu.ogg xvattr >xvattr.1 totem /usr/share/example-content/Experience\ ubuntu.ogg xvattr >xvattr.2 totem /usr/share/example-content/Experience\ ubuntu.ogg xvattr >xvattr.3 3. Compare xvattr settings. Conclusion: each time totem opens a new movie, it further changes the default movie settings (please see attachment). See attached file "xvattr diff comparison from example in Test Case 2"
