@MacAdam :
Just Saturation and Contrast is changed by patch. The player I'm testing is totem-xine, but I focused on drive issue so the player doesn't matter so much.
The patch just moves neutral setting to about 50% (for Saturation this is about 512 (as Min value 0 and Max value 1023). The default value is adjusted to this.
You output for saturation is:
+ Current value: 51
   Name: XV_SATURATION
    Flags: XvGettable XvSettable
    Min value: 0
    Max value: 1023
- Current value: 512
+ Current value: 48
*********
So default looks good, somehow you have setup your player to set a value of 48!? That's odd. I just assume that this is maybe an old setting you applied earlier to adjust the earlier XV attribute scale.
Can you confirm that you have default display attributes (in totem settings) (the slider for saturation and contrast is about the half).
If this is not at case, can you push the button to adjust this.
If you are using program "gxvattr" and you adjust "saturation" and "contrast" to about the half, you should have "neutral" setting. Can you check this out?
