Brightness??
4. June 2008 - 10:56
Ok so I just recently installed Q3A and E+ on ubuntu 8.04 Hardy. Had a fps problem which is now fixed. However, what is not fixed and is annoying and bothering the crap out of me is during a map, my brightness in the game changes. I have my brightness set rather high, and halfways thru the map, my brightness goes back to default which is very dark. But once the following map starts, my brightness goes back to how I have it set, and it also goes back to default brightness again halfway thru map. Is there anyone here who runs same OS or has had this occur to them? What could be cause of this? Any info would be most appreciated. Cheerz.

I have similar problem. This is happened to me when I get a message on communicator or when my os inform me about something. Problem is in my graphic card. When i play on another everything was OK. Maybe try another adapters. I dunno.

Try different drivers...10-15 versions. For that card its nonsense to use anything newer then 66.93 version...also try 56.72.New drivers are made for new cards,not old cards. Changing drivers helps in situations when u cannot set r_gamma anymore so it might help here as well,if not - i guess linux is the reason and drivers->linux compatibility.
Does it happen in windows too? Making a dual boot would answer your question pretty fast so u dont need to mess arround with driver testing.

Well I am dual booting right now actually with Windows.And in windows, I have the original drivers for the video card, and the card works flawlessly in windows. I have tried previous driver versions also, however it messed with my screen resolution and changed it to 640x480 was the highest resolution when I tried using dfferent drivers. The newest drivers are actually the only one that doesn't mess with my screen resolution.

Hmmmm I have tried all of those settings, which were already set to those settings, and still no luck.
I have the latest drivers for my video card, which is a GeForce Fx 5500 with 256MB. Drivers version is 173.14.05 which is newest release. And I still have same problem. And as far as the r_intensity, mine is set at 1. What is yours set at Tyrant, as possibly it might resolve my isssue?
