You are right, of course. When I wrote my message, I wrote in
ignorance of a little fact I discovered just this afternoon.
The xv driver (for NVidia|GeForce4 Ti 4800 binary driver under Mdk
9.2) apparently has the ability to remember contrast/brightness
settings across invocations of Mplayer. I was goofing with these
setting the other day. Then day before yesterday I downloaded pre2.4
and tried it out. Lo-and-bold, the contrast looked great.
Today I re-booted X and the settings were gone.
So I was fooled by the fact that xv remembers the settings.

P.S. Completely off-topic side question I've
been meaning to ask:
I have been away from the mplayer list
for a few months but am beginning to use
mplayer heavily again for my research.
Since beginning to read this list I have
noticed the absence of any messages from
indomitable A'rpi. Where is he?
