 Debian Lenny's Totem Movie Player (2.22.2) doesn't work with openchrome's
 xv. I've pinpointed the problem to XV_COLORKEY attribute handling.

 I'm using 16-bit color depth, but xvinfo lists:

       "XV_COLORKEY" (range 0 to 16777215)
               client settable attribute
               client gettable attribute (current value is 2081)

 The allowed range is for 24-bit depth (shouldn't it be 0 to 65535?). The
 current value 2081 is for 16-bit depth, which means 1 for each of R, G, B.

 Totem turns XV_AUTOPAINT_COLORKEY on and sets XV_COLORKEY to 0x010203
 (66051). Apparently totem thinks the bit depth is 24 bits. And 66051 is
 certainly in the allowed range. However, the picture is not visible with
 these values. If I use xvattr to manually set the colorkey value to
 anything in inside 0..65535 range the picture becomes visible, but
 anything above 65535 and the picture disappears.

 It may be that the convention for XV_COLORKEY is that it's always supposed
 to be 24 bits. In that case openchrome should internally convert the key
 to 16-bits. If that is not the convention and the colorkey is supposed to
 be in the actual color depth of the display, then this is actually a totem
 bug. The attribute range being 0..16777215 remains an openchrome bug in
 either case.
