When I use the Xv driver in mplayer the colors seem very washed out. It looks as though brightness is too high and contrast too low. When I switch to the x11 video drivers the video looks fine. For comparison, I am including two screenshots below: The first one taken from mplayer playback with x11 drivers, and the second using xv drivers.
This has been a problem for me ever since I started using fglrx in late 2007. The system is a ThinkPad T43 with a Mobility Radeon X300 /64mb vram running fglrx 8.5. The driver reports my card as: "Chipset: "ATI MOBILITY RADEON X300" (Chipset = 0x5460)"
The relevant sections of my xorg.conf are given below:

Is anyone else noticing this problem?
