Version: (using KDE KDE 3.5.5) Installed from: Gentoo Packages The contrast is abnormally high making the video washed out. I am using an i915GM card and X.org 7.1 and xine 1.1.3 This problem does not occur with kaffeine 0.8.2, only with 0.8.3. A workaround is to adjust the contrast manually to around 50% or to use another video output driver like xshm. This does not occur on my other system which has an nvidia card, everything is fine there. I can supply pictures of the behaviour if necessary.
0.8.3 saves video settings and restore them. So, at first start it uses a default setting that seems to be the nvidia one. But after you have adjusted the contrast for your card it should be correctly restored next time, isn't it?
Yes, after manually adjusting the contrast I can sort of get it looking normal and it is restored the next time kaffeine is run. However kaffeine should not have set such a horribly incorrect contrast in the first place and should have sane defaults, like all previous releases.
Previous release had no defaults, it simply didn't save and restore. I've fixed that by not restoring anything if nothing was saved ;)
Issue is not resolved, while the patch does make the video settings normal on a fresh start of kaffeine. The settings are not saved properly after that and contrast, hue and saturation are set to 0 on the next start, making the video black until manually corrected.
Oh I forgot to mention, this happens on both my nvidia and i810 systems.
oops.. Should be fixed now.
It's fixed now, works great. Thanks a lot.
