Changing color options has no effect

Thanks Tuomas,

Bug confirmed on an Intel GM915 chip with free drivers.
Added upstream bug and linked to it.

One precision though : adjusting brightness works for me. the three others (contrast, saturation, gain) don't

Could everybody concerned post the output of xvinfo, please?
See Bastien Nocera comment in the upstream bug: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=556009

Thanks.

We hide sliders that aren't available on a particular hardware now.
On the intel machine, contrast should work, and nothing will work on the NVidia
machine.

        (bacon_video_widget_get_video_property):
        * src/totem-preferences.c (totem_setup_preferences):
        Only display colour balance sliders that are available for
        the video adapter in use, hide the whole preference if
        nothing is available (Closes: #556009)

This issue as of now concerns only totem, at least on nvidia machines,
Since Color options slider are working on example VLC.

On smplayer they didn't work. Might be issue what video-output module is used?

Hello, I get a lot of emails these days. I don t know how to stop it. I had
register myself at launchpad.
Can you help me to stop al those emails. I get 20 mails a day

Regards,

Olaf
