[video related question]: every time i play a video, the hue is always at 0, so everything looks greenish. in vlc or other apps i can apply adjustments, but i have to do so every time, and it doesn't have an option in all programs to do that. the same is true for video coming from my webcam. i have karmic and nvidia, using proprietary binary version of the driver.

have you tried 'nvidia-settings' in a terminal, then manually adjust the hue for your entire computer?

i've been having some trouble with my atheros wifi card. network manager seems to disable it when i suspend my computer, and doesn't 'forget' the ap's. therefor, if i move it tries to connect to an ap that isn't there.
