this is obviously a big inconvenience.

On every start tremulous adjusts the brightness for your screen. This is a feature. On shutdown, tremulous should set the brightness back to it's old value. In your case it does not. This is a bug.
I suggest that you update the driver for your graphic card. And for further help plz post some info about your Operating system and. graphic card.

KK, im running XP home sp2, and i have a ATI Sapphire Radeon 2600 512mb graphics
also, trem does set the brightness back when i shut down it, but when i restart my comp, then when it starts up, my screen is screwy.
heres the weird thing, only one of the sc reens is screwed up, my secondary stays fine.  And i tried switchin primary to secondary but that didnt help.  Im hopng its not my monitor, that things freakin sweet!

When tremulous is forcefully shut down the brightness stays at which point it was set ingame. The only solution to change this is not to forcefully shut down your computer and/or tremulous or to apply a shortcut to a set brightness in your gfx card configuration software and us it once when this happens.

Reboot and it will be fixed.  (Vista by default does some lame hibernate / suspend thingy)
