[MPlayer-users] Straneg Colors on X600

[Peter Schrammel]

Hi all,

I have an ATI X600 (see lspci -v attachment), which isn't recognised by 
the vidix drivers, so I gues it's because of that that I'm having this 
strange color effect (see the the thread bellow, I posted a jpeg on the 
list first but it was to big :-( ).

I found a thread 
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.video.mplayer.user/27659  from about 
1,5 years ago where a guy had the same problem but I don't know if it 
was solved (though I tried the tricks of that thread).
I tried with an without kernel dhahelper and some -vf 
nofrmat/format=yv12 ... combinations.

Here my config:

AMD64
debian sid
mplayer cvs from
driver I'm useing: cvidix:radeon_vid.so

BTW the Restored overlay color setting change each time I call mplayer:

yes, I tried with -nocolorkeys and -colorkeys=0x000000, no effect

I hope the posting wasn't to long.
Any help is appreciated
