I will add a datapoint here.

Using Via SP13000, FC4, xorg 6.9.903 from kelkoo.net and openchrome 
driver, the playback picture adjustments work whether or not the setting 
is TRUE or FALSE. I had been using FALSE, but just tried TRUE with 
already recorded shows.

The On Screen Display which contains the description and slider bar etc 
for the controls is black/white ... grey, not in color, but it works.
