Display too bright, only on test release.

[Chris Chabot]

I've had the same behaviour too, rawhide before a few days ago was working
just fine with the nv driver, but after that update all the images seemed
very overly bright, like some gamma correction was turned up all the way

Text however was as before, just the desktop background, icons and window
decorations that were trying to burn out my eyes :-)

Strinking resemblance is that i'm also using the nv driver, to be specific
with a 7800GTX and a 24" dell LCD screen connected with a dvi cable.

My workaround has been to drop xorg back to the fc5 one (and related
dependencies) and wait out the storm until its fixed, however if a tester is
required, I could switch back to 'the light hurts us!!' mode again :-)

    In my case, as the OP's in the posts you cite, it was xorg updates 
of 6/14 that caused the problem. I've tried reverting xorg-x11-drv-nv, 
but then X fails to start.

xorg-x11-drv-nv-1.1.1-5
Geforce4-400
Samsung 191n LCD

    If the OP's intention was the same as mine, it was only to inquire 
of the sort "am I only one?". Seems we're not. I was goin to try a fresh 
install of test-1 from CD's before persuing a BugZ.
