I'm not an expert with GNOME apps, but if you run gstreamer-properties and go to Video/Default Output/Plugin, you can switch xv acceleration on and off and see what happens (there is a test button playing colorbars). (apparently you can also run it two times, side by side, to compare) But I'm not sure if totem and gnome-mplayer obey that setting. > I suspect there *is* a bug in the driver, since I've never seen this > problem before.

You really don't need a test file, you can just say that "colors are wrong when applications use xv acceleration". But, it may be that the problem is not in the driver, just in the decoding library the players are using (ffmpeg?). > Vlc is available from the rpmfusion repo. What are its special good > qualities as compared with mplayer and/or totem? This is why I suggested a test with vlc. If you can get good colors from vlc in xv mode (called xvideo in the vlc pref panel), the driver is ok. Vlc is just another good player; I personally still prefer the no-GUI mplayer.
