Hello All,
I just installed xbmc live on a Zotac Mag (atom 330 + Ion) and was having trouble getting the colorspace set correctly. I solved it with these steps, so maybe this will make it easier for someone in the future.
1. Got XBMC Live working well in general
2. Updated nvidia drivers using the iquik PPAs- thanks for those! Very easy!

3. Manually edited xorg.conf (sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf ) to include the following lines in the Display section:
Option "ColorSpace" "RGB"
Option "ColorRange" "Full"
EDIT*** Based on other's input, this is incorrect for HDTV, set instead to
Option "ColorSpace" "YCbCr444"
4. Reboot or restart the X server (if you know how to do that, which I dont)
5. Enjoy!
I got those options from this nvidia config page:
http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Li...tions.html
The way I did it will apply the same settings to all displays, you can do it for individual displays using the instrucions on that nvidia page.
Hope that helps- these settings will apply to both the xbmc menus and video.
