xbmc menus and and skins all look fine but the video playback is in black and white with a slight tint that seems to rotate. It will have a slight bluish tint for a few seconds then change to green then tan, red etc....

Tried a few different video formats wmv, avi, and flv. All had the same problem
I can play the same video in Movie Player and the colors are correct.

Ubuntu 10.10
ATI Radeon HD 4300 video card
dual monitors and problem appears on both, one connected via vga cable and the other is TV connected via hdmi cable.

I had the same problem with mine, on a Radeon HD 4360.

Go to System --> Video --> Playback and change the render method until you find one that works properly for you. I had to change mine to "Basic Shaders (ARB)".
