I don't use any filters at all. At least none that I know of.
This is my (default) ~/.mplayer/config file:
,----
| ## Video Options
| vo=gl2
| fs=yes
| zoom=no
| vm=yes
| bpp=24
| autoq=1
| dr=yes
| 
| ## Audio Options
| ao=esd,oss:/dev/sound/dsp
| ac=hwac3,
| 
| ## Other
| framedrop=yes
| gui=no
| osdlevel=1
| subfont-osd-scale=9
| dvd-device=/dev/ide/host0/bus1/target0/lun0/cd
| mixer=/dev/sound/mixer
| 
| ## experimental
| fixed-vo=yes
| autoq=10
| menu=yes
`----

For testing I just run 'mplayer -vo xvidix:radeon_vid.so movie.avi'.

I tried with -vf pp. The colors stay distorted and the performance slows
down a lot (if I had to guess, I'd say to around 10 fps on a P4-2.6 GHz).

This is faster, but the color problem persists.

I've tried them all. None of them help :-/
