[Bug 32963] Xv movies on 810/i945 gives horrible color, Gamma

[Alan Tam]

Public bug reported:

I bought a new desktop with a Foxconn 945G7MA-8EKRS2 motherboard [1].

I installed Dapper Flight 4 and bug 27180 occurred. I chose i810 and
results in a working X. However, whenever I play video, the colors are
distorted very much.

I tried with mplayer and found that if I switch the video driver from
"xv" to "gl", then colors will be ok, but very slow. Of course, totem
won't let me switch the driver either --- Where has "Multimedia System
Selector" gone?

I cannot test using Breezy since it hangs somewhere during booting the
Live CD.
