(Get the code!)
I am having the same problem with 7.10.
I have a very old and dark HP D2808 monitor.
In my /etc/X11/xorg.conf file, I have set this line
Gamma 1.6
to adjust the gamma correction.
However, in Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon, XVideo does not respect the X Window system-wide gamma correction setting.
As a workaround, I can use xvattr to turn up the brightness, like so:
xvattr -a XV_BRIGHTNESS -v 24
This is of course an imperfect substitute, because brightness != gamma, however it makes eg. RealPlayer XVideo and Totem Xvideo videos watchable.
Despite the workaround, I feel that it is very important that the bug be fixed and XVideo be made to respect gamma values and other settings.
