intel driver: playing video with totem: bad quality, causes lockup at next switch to VT

[Willi Mann]

Hi!

I have a very strange issue on my Acer TravelMate 6004LMi notebook:

Playing videos with totem (and other players) shows very bad colors.
(the brightness seems to be way too high). I don't experience this issue
with the vesa driver, so the players or their libraries are probably not
to blame. (And I didn't experience this issue with 1.x versions of the
intel driver)

Another issue is that very often when I switch to VT, the screen goes
black and the whole system hangs. netconsole deliveres no output. Most
times, the xorg.log file does not contain anything useful. Sometimes
however, (at least twice so far) I got a stack trace.

This lockup always occurs when I have played a video in the X session,
(It's not playing when I switch to VT) but sometimes also when I didn't
play any video in the Xsession. (e.g. when I switch directly from kdm
login screen to VT)

The intel driver has been upgraded by hand to latest git (as of
yesterday). AFAIR this issue occured first when I switched to 2.x
version of the intel driver.

The configuration and one logfile with logged crash is attached.

Can anyone help please? Let me know if you need more information.
