Comment 48 for bug 149791

I'm also experiencing this issue.

00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS/GME, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)

All video played though vlc, mplayer, totem or gst-launch appears black and white, while youtube videos and then like work just fine.

I checked the totem settings, and sure enough, saturation was all the way to the left. I made the mistake, though, of clicking "Reset to Defaults" which has side all 4 sliders (brightness, contrast, saturation, hue) to the midpoint, which leaves the video rather garish - over saturated and high contrast with the color balance seriously out of whack.

This issue first appeared coincidentally with other video problems - video fails to follow the window in real time when dragging the window (it only moves when the window is placed in its new location), black outlines around windows when placed over a video window, failure to draw the video window properly in compiz alt-tab window previews.

I also noticed that if I create a new user, none of the video issues appeared on that account.f
