[SOLVED] Brightness issue when running game

[mweishaa]

I did the dist-upgrade from Karmic to Lucid. Now when I play Unreal Tournament, the game is very dark. Inside the game, I have the brightness turned all the way up, but it makes no difference.

This is on a desktop system, not a laptop. I have power management set to "Performance", but I have no idea why this game is suddenly very dark. Nothing else has changed on my system. I'm running an Intel G33 chip. I'm just not sure what's changed or how to correct it.

update: I am rendering with OpenGL

[ SOLVED ] Re: Brightness issue when running game

I just installed the latest updates, and now there's a Gamma control for the display. I can set this before playing Unreal Tournament, which helps. This will be a good enough solution for now. And I found xgamma, which will allow me to control it from the command line.. so I can set it in a script, launch game, and have it reset when I close it. Ahhhhh, Linux.
