Bug#600862: xserver-xorg-video-radeon: video playback on radeon 3000 messed up

[Andres Salomon]

Package: xserver-xorg-video-radeon
Version: 1:6.13.1-2
Tags: squeeze

When playing videos, they appear very dark; only black and blue colors
show up.  This happens when using Xv, in any video player (vlc,
totem-gstreamer, mplayer, etc).  If I tell mplayer to use '-vo x11'
rather than xv, videos will display normally.  I've attached a
screenshot of a Daily Show episode playing; as you can see, it's pretty
dark.
