Hi,
I'm begining to think that my trams have failed in my ESI board on my
Octane. When I'm using mplayer with the gl2 plugin all the colours are
strange, they either have a purple wash to them or a green wash. It's like
the video is being filtered through the colour (sorry thats so not a
technical description).

The last time I saw this was on my Onyx and that had bad RM's fitted. When
I changed them all was well.

Is this what happens when tram failed on Octanes or could it be a software
problem? I've deleted /usr/local/etc/mplayer/ and removed mplayer 1.0pre3
using inst and re-downloaded then installed it. All plays well with the
x11 video output though. I'm using a dubble buffered display setting and
have the line in my mplayer.conf that fixes the 24bit colour problem.

Any ideas if this could be the culprit, my poor tram modules?
