Comment 13 for bug 97571

Oliver - I think you're right. It's also probably related to bug 184440, which is open against the Nvidia binary driver.

There is a discussion on nvnews about it too: http://nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=107009. Here's a quote from AaronP in that thread:

"XV_HUE support was added for the 8-series GPUs in a relatively recent driver release, which is probably why you started seeing this problem recently. The range of 0 to 360 matches the way this attribute worked on the old NV17 Video Overlay adaptor, so the default of 0 should be pretty standard. This definitely sounds like a bug in Totem."

I can concur that I only started experiencing this issue after upgrading my card from a 7 series to a 8 series. However, they seem to insist that this is a Totem bug.
