Hi!
I have written this patch for the softdevice xv-output method to stop it from changing all my xv output settings (contrast brightness hue saturation). I mainly use the new shm-output communication with xv.
I know that it is in some parts a hack, but I hope that a similar patch will be incorporated into the official version.
The other problem I could not solve myself is that the colorkey setting of xv gets modified to colorkey=black, which makes every window containing black areas transparent, this is just annoying.
