Ubuntu 9.10 and r_ignorehwgamma 1

(McDonald) #1

Hi !
I would like to set r_ignorehwgamma 1 but it seems no effect at all, even after vid_restart. I don’t know why my Ubuntu doesnt ignore the external gamma. My graphic card has all new drivers installed (from the repo). Its really important for me to keep r_ignorehwgamma at “1” because without it, characters isnt visible enough.
I’m looking forward to hearing from you.
Cheers McDonald

try /seta r_ignorehwgamma 1
/vid_restart

or add to your cfg or autoexec

I already did it , and nothing happens, The value is 1 but it doesnt change anything. My graphic looks the same as always. In conclusion I can’t see the difference beetwen /r_ignorehwgamma 1 or 0 on my linux.

:DDDD , like I said , characters are more visible. Its really hard to aim, when you don’t see an enemy. Could you help me to get it working up?

You don’t mean /r_gamma 2.0 (for example) ?

Nah. This is what’s commonly known as the “gamma bug”. It can make the game look really bad, but players stand out more.

Nope its not about r_gamma , because it works well and its not about gamma bug (I cant make gamma bug on linux coz r_ignorehwgamma 1 is needed). Im still waiting for your replys, and I hope that someone here could help me with this.

Mhmm, the only thing or two i found is you could try to insert - seta r_ignorehwgamma “1” - into your config and then loadup the game.
Secondly i read something somewhere about Aero (Windows tho) but maybe you got a new KDE 4 system wich has this kinda feature too. Maybe shut that of ?
Both worth a try maybe ? Else i dunno (Entering r_ignorehwgamma in the search-field of this forum has 1,5 pages with some results.

Anyway, goodluck.
