"man XFree86" suggests the command line option "-gamma = value", where "value" is a number between 0.1 and 10.0, 1.0 being the default. I tried to start X with "startx -gamma 2.0", but right after displaying = the nVidia logo, X drops back to the command line. The error message says, "/usr/X11R6/bin/xterm: bad command line option '-gamma'. The XFree86 = version is 4.3.0 (compiled from ports). What am I doing wrong, and where would I look for more information? = Also, if a working option can be found, is there a place where I can put this so = that it is automatically used and I don't have to type it in manually every = time X is started? (At this point I actually miss the nice GUI-interface to tweak the card = that comes with nVidia's XP drivers. :) Thanks!
