Okay, I am having this problem for a while, it's more of an annoyance than a functionality problem. Some games I play (Like Quake 3 arena, unreal Tournament, Quake 3 force-resets the system gamma to 1.00) are as dark as turd and refuses to work with the brightness slider. I use the SiS 330 integrated graphics driver and the chipset is a SiS651C and this is the first time it happened to me. Can anyone help?

How old is your monitor? If it's around 5 to 10 years old, the filament rods may be getting weak and may need to have the monitor completely replaced. Otherwise, check the video card and what settings it supports. Otherwise, all I can say is that those games are generally quite dark and low on gamma filtration as it is.

There's actually someone else here on the forum that plays ut and quake? O.o
You wouldn't happen to own ut03... would ya? *coughpmandduelcough* ^^''
By the way, this counts for everyone here that owns ut03 >.>

And I also had this gamma problem once but as far as I can remember I just had to reinstall the game and drivers to get rid of it.

i had the same problem. I got a new monitor but my other graphics drive broke so i got a SiS 330 and the SiS651C and mine was crappy too. I think its either a bad product or just something wrong happened when it was made.
