@Thomas: Yeah, I'm using the unpatched driver for two reasons - (1) The prebuilt version you've linked before is older than what's currently available in the repos, (2) I don't want to build the driver myself, and (3) when I tried the patched driver anyway, nothing changed for me.
As for the neutral settings for everything, the problem is that they aren't actually neutral. I've seen what my videos should look like in Windows, and blacks are black. These are not, not even with VLC, so that's why I had to modify things. Also, I still needed to resolve the issue with SMplayer messing with the colors, and that's my favorite player. I'm using an Intel X3100 (965GM) in case it's important. In any case, it's a solution that's worked for me, so I'm sticking with it. :)
