I actually have the same dark problem on windowze with nvidia, (before it was with ati on linux).. though on linux i simply used this some bash script (natirips has one too)
something like

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
xgamma -gamma 2.0
./path/to/binary
xgamma -gamma 1.0


Can't check if its correct, I still didn't install an y Linux on this machine (terrible stuff i know ). But this works that it simply changes gamma for your gaming session, but of course if you alt tab you will get white hell.

thanks for the script but after a little bit help from chron and the internet I found out that there is no fix to the fence problem... which makes (for my hardware atleast) urban terror pretty much unplayable on linux, i will have to get windows running on that machine :/

(for my hardware atleast)

I think it's more about software than hardware.

ATI/AMD make some awesome hardware, but I don't buy their graphics cards because they seem to be unable to make drivers (properly).

I remember owning a Radeon 9200 and I had to disable particles in all games or else I'd get slideshow. Years later I updated the drivers and all of a sudden particles worked smoothly.

So the hardware was capable of doing them properly all the time, only the drivers sucked.

Full ACK. ATI Linux drivers have a long tradition of
sucking universes through nanotubes.

Get yourself a used Nvidia card on eBay, install
proprietery Nvidia drivers (package "nvidia-glx")
and everything should work.

You could also try the free ATI drivers, maybe
they're good enough by now. The free Nvidia drivers
are getting to a point where I'm thinking of using
them instead of Nvidia's blob.

Actually, at the time I was a Windows user and was completely unaware of anything other then M$ a.k.a. PC a.k.a. customizable computer and Apple a.k.a. Mac a.k.a. non-customizable (and more expensive) computer.

So they suck under Windows, too. Great.

With AMD/ATI graphicscards I only had good experiences on windows, just once with Splinter Cell Chaos Theory Versus Mode I had truble but as it turned out there was a fix to that with a program called 3danalyze.
