Guest Lima Echo Echo Posted April 12, 2006 Report Share Posted April 12, 2006 I've got mandriva 2006 on this and the screen is dark as night. I've tried the gamma settings but that doesn't help.. the fn keys don't work so I'm at a loss as to what to do. thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow Posted April 12, 2006 Report Share Posted April 12, 2006 Try installing monica (its a Gnome app) and tuning your screen from it. If you use the proprietary nvidia or ati driver, use their included utility instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Lima Echo Echo Posted April 12, 2006 Report Share Posted April 12, 2006 (edited) I looked for monica on google.. a couple app sites and urpmi, couldn't find it. can you tell me where to get it? edit: I found it but I'm not so sure that's what I need it does the same thing that the mandriva configuration gamma does. http://www.pcbypaul.com/software/monica.html I need to turn up the actual brightness thanks for the quick response!

scarecrow Posted April 12, 2006 Report Share Posted April 12, 2006 Do you have the nvidia or ati proprietary driver installed, or not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Lima Echo Echo Posted April 12, 2006 Report Share Posted April 12, 2006 (edited) Do you have the nvidia or ati proprietary driver installed, or not? Well..I don't think so.

scarecrow Posted April 12, 2006 Report Share Posted April 12, 2006 If you're using "fglrx" you have already installed the proprietary ati driver- so use the assorted screen claibration tool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Lima Echo Echo Posted April 13, 2006 Report Share Posted April 13, 2006 The only adjustment tool I could find was the gamma settings.. which doesn't do the job. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
