Description:
Ever since a mesa 7.6/xorg 7.5 update, adjusting the gamma level in game doesn't do anything.

Additional info:
tremulous 1.1.0-5
mesa-git 20091207-1
xorg-server 1.7.3-1
xf86-video-intel 2.9.1-1

I'll provide more information on request.

Reason for closing:  Upstream
Additional comments about closing:  Problem appears to be restricted to select configurations. As it has been open for some time and the maintainer has not been able to reproduce the bug, but no one has bothered to report their trouble upstream I see no reason to keep the bug open. Report it upstream if you want it resolved.

I talked with kev about this after the first thread came up and he said it was probably related to intel. Looking into it.

Are you using tremulous from community or treumous-updated from aur/arch-games? Do you know if both packages have the bug?
Comment by Gavin Bisesi (Daenyth) - Wednesday, 09 December 2009, 18:03 GMT
Can you also paste the command line output from trem? Specifically any SDL_Error messages after SDL_SetGamma
Comment by Thomas Dziedzic (tomd123) - Wednesday, 09 December 2009, 22:52 GMT
Bug is in both versions. It's also in tremfusion. I'll get the output for you when I get a chance.

Would you mind trying with -updated and see if that helps? Tremfusion isn't an officially endorsed client, and the tremulous package itself is from 2006, so it could have been fixed since then.

I'm working on updating the tremulous package with some backported patches recommended by the devs, so after I push that to repos, it may or may not help.

Updated the tremulous package, please also try updating that.

I think you mentioned that the problem also exists in the 1.2 beta (tremulous-gpp)? Just wanted to note that here. We'll have to report this upstream.

A post in the link might have something related to this problem. I have an intel 945gm and I have kms enabled. His backlight setting ability using some technique apparently stopped working with kms enabled.

This bug might also be related. I'm going to try disabling kms later to confirm it is the same bug.

Any word?
Comment by Thomas Dziedzic (tomd123) - Sunday, 17 January 2010, 16:29 GMT
Still doesn't work.

Probably same as http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=565638
To compile the test program in the linked bug report, you do
gcc sdlgamma.c -lSDL -lSDL_image
and you also have to have a test.png image in the same directory as the executable.

Note, this is not a tremulous specific bug, either sdl or xorg.

I'm pretty sure this still hasn't been reported upstream. I don't have the problem myself, so I'm not really the best person to do it...
