[opensuse] nvidia brightness question
I have (re-)installed the nVIDIA driver for Linux (December 29, 2007) using the NVIDIA-Linux-x86-169.07-pkg1.run package downloaded from their web site. I have noticed something that I'd like to either understand or correct. When I view an You-tube video in Linux the video tends to not be as bright as watching the video under XP=Home on the same hardware setup. Is this a driver issue or an X issue, and how can I resolve the difference if at all possible.

I should have noted that the Monitor is a Samsung 7e. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

It may be related to different handling of the gamma correction. With no XP around I can't test it. You can try to change it via xgamma or nvidia-settings commands. Documents describing the theory behind gamma correction are on http://www.poynton.com/GammaFAQ.html . -- A.M. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
