I think I get this aswell on :
debian lenny with ati's fglrx 8.45 (a rather horrible driver) for a x800xl and a crt
I have only started playing openarena this afternoon, but have had a bit to do with rtcw:et.
In openarena the following don't appear to respond (pretty sure it is a problem with the 8.45 driver)
r_gamma
r_ignorehwgamma
r_ext_gamma_control
I added the following line to ~/.openarena/baseoa/q3config.cfg
seta r_intensity "1.8"
Now the maps are more playable, though I think I have the same problem of shimmery outlines of invisible avatars.
I haven't tested the mesa driver for over 12 months - at the time it only had 60% of the fps of the fglrx driver in rtcw:et.
Does anybody have any suggestions apart from installing an older fglrx driver (which did respond to r_gamma in rtcw:et and wasn't too dark on standard settings anyway)? Unfortunately installing an older driver isn't a walk in the park
Can you recommend a cfg file reference more complete than (
DO NOT LINK) h t t p s : / / openarena . wikia . com/wiki/Tweak? The settings appear rather similar to rtcw:et?
Thanks ecru

In case you are familiar with rtcw:et configs
In rtcw:et the game is very dark and the following settings don't appear to respond
r_gamma
r_ignorehwgamma
r_ext_gamma_control
r_mapoverbrightbits
r_overBrightBits
The only responding setting is
r_intensity
Which is a long way from ideal but most maps are playable.
