Hi all,

I had the same problems as mentioned here. On second time playing a movie using xv in xine or any other xine-based app, the colors would be totally distorted. Only restarting X would "resolve" the problem. On the other hand, when playing movies in mplayer, the colors seemed to be washed out and too bright. Anyway, I was able to solve the problem by installing the latest xorg i810 drivers (which were actually released today). They can be found here:

Compile and install them, restart X and everything works fine. I also noticed that my screensaver (in KDE) is working now, it did not work with the old i810 driver.

Please note that "make install" installs the driver to /usr/local/lib/xorg/modules/drivers, while the modules (at least on my debian) are located in /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers. Back-up the original i810_drv.so and then replace it by the shiny new one (X might crash, thus doing this from a text console would be the safe way out)

Happy kaffeine-ing
