Dapper Dan 0 Posted April 30, 2004 SoulNothing, I have a monitor that it way to dark too. You can set the gamma by going as root: xgamma -gamma 1.6 Change the value up and down to get the gamma correction you desire. Go slowly though, you don't want to fry your monitor. I'd start at 1.1, then 1.2 and so on. Once you got it at the value you like, just add it to your .bash_profile so it will go to the value you want when starting your desktop environment.
