Title: BRIGHTNESS IN LUCID LYNX
Post by: HoneyBadger on May 01, 2010, 02:39:43 pm

Hi there guys. I just upgraded my linux from Karmic to 10.4. Right now my sound problem with tremulous is eliminated. However I have a problem with brightness. I put the brightness on max in the game itself but it's still way to dark to play. It wasn't like that before though. Anyone got ideas on what I can do to fix that?

If you havn't done so, set r_gamma higher. Expirement with your monitor, but somewhere from 1.1 to 1.4 or so.

Hi MooseBerry! Where do you set the r-gamma? At the console?

then type /r_gamma [number] and hit enter.

With the default client, changing gamma results in a darker screen... So - set r_gamma to 1 if it doesn't fix raising it.

Did you try reinstalling your graphics driver? When I used Linux the same thing happened to me and I just had to do it.

Try:

Code: [Select]

xmodmap -e "remove lock = Caps_Lock"
After that, if you cant get brightness to work in game, set it with:

Code: [Select]

xgamma -gamma 1.6

Cadynum thank you very much sir! The xgamma -gamma x  worked just fine!
