I've seen this problem as well, under Dapper as well as Breezy.
Blown-out highlights and garish colors? You have to turn brightness
way down?

I've never figured what out caused it, nor why it seems to affect
certain media players (xine et al) and not others (ie, vlc).
Apparently the former share certain libraries and therefore use the
same settings.
