Can't control gamma/brightness from ioquake3 menu/console

ioquake3

Hi,

Running ioquake3 1.36 on Linux Mint. The game is quite dark, even during the intro video. The in game brightness slider on the options menu does nothing. The r_gamma command does nothing, even after a vid_restart.
I am using the official AMD drivers for my video card.

Anyone have a workaround for me? (except adjusting brightness values on my display every time I want to play).

Please upgrade to a test build. It may resolve the issue.

I am having this problem , i have upgraded to the latest test build.

I work around this by using the xgamma command in ubuntu before starting up quake to brighten the display eg.:-

xgamma -gamma 1.4

then setting it back afterwards
