[SuSE Linux] [off topic] viper v550 and glquake
Hi, Sorry, it is off topic... I bought a Diamond Viper v550 videocard with 16M SDRAM (PCI). It works great in linux (with SVGA sever) and in MS Windows. However, glquake does not run well --> I get very-very dark image. I tried it under Windows only, but assume to see the same in linux. The quake's built-in brightness control does not affect the brightness at all. On the other hand it renders 50 fps @ 640x480 on my PPro 150 in quake 1 (that stunned me). It works OK but slow with plain (svgalib) quake 1 (27 fps @ 320x240). But that is not why I bought the card! Does anybody know a solution to this brightness problem? -alexm -- To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A">http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A</A>> and the archive at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A">http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A</A>>
Install the Nvidia Detonator drivers. They have the necessary gamma controls. I haven't personally experienced any problems with out-of-the box settings. Until there is some sort of OpenGL implementation in the Xfree drivers, we'll just have to live with slow *nix quake performance.
