Mmm, I suddenly discovered that mplayer (or video driver? well whatever)
exactly follows gamma set by xgamma, with any kind of gl output,
including gl:yuv=0, gl:yuv=2 and even for xv, at least with my current
video card & driver. Which actually turned better solution than using
in-mplayer gamma control (I have to set gamma for this monitor to a
big value, 1.2, to get proper 2.2 gamma, as it's about 2.65 by default).

Both gamma control work at the same time without affecting each other,
but I don't have any reason to use mplayer gamma control now..

Now, if only Xorg would stop resetting gamma when switching to fullscreen
apps that change resolution and back *grumble*
