off colors and giberish from video - flgrx ??

i get off colors and sometimes green giberish on some videos, regardless of player or codec. I though maybe it was compiz but i turned it off and still had the problem.

I have created two screenshots; the 1st one shows a video frame zoomed in twice, so you can see what happens, and the second one shows how colors are all off in a podcast.

1st (zoom 100%, 105% & 110%):

2nd:

So ... what do you guys think it might be ?

Re: off colors and giberish from video - flgrx ??

As a data point, I have had similar problems when using fglrx. These problems were solved by upgrades to fglrx. If you are using a framebuffer console with fglrx, first try using the normal console. Sometimes there are weird interactions between the framebuffer and fglrx. If you still have problems, try using the ati driver to see if your problems go away. If they do, fglrx is your problem. If they persist, I don't know what to check then, perhaps the hardware?

Good luck.
