[Bug 79559] xvimagesink/fglrx x1400 - Strange video colour hues

[andrewm]

Public bug reported:

Hello

I've been getting a strange bug that has appeared since Dapper (I'm
currently running Feisty) which involves the output colours of a video
when played using xvimagesink.

When using XV output in Mplayer and VLC there doesn't seem to be a
problem.

However both Totem and gst-launch-0.10 filesrc location=./videofile.avi
! avidemux ! xviddec ! ffmpegcolorspace ! videoscale method=1 !
xvimagesink return the same colour distortion.

If ximagesink is selected in gstreamer-properties the picture is also
fine.

My hardware is a Toshiba Tecra A6 laptop with a Mobile Radeon X1400
video card using fglrx version 8.32.5, however this has occurred in all
previous versions since Dapper.

Curiously, I found that enabling XGL (not AIGLX) fixed the problem,
however this isn't very practical.

I will attach screenshots of the video output and my xorg.conf and
xvinfo output.

Thanks for your time.
