The only game I ever play is Urban Terror, but since Ubuntu 11.04, 11.10 and now 12.04 LTS, even the maximum brightness setting in UT is still very dim on my laptop. So I ended up using a script to start the program with the following settings to increase the brightness.In the assumption you have installed UT in the ~/Games/UrbanTerror folder, type at the command prompt: (substitute the correct folder if yours is different)
gedit ~/Games/UrbanTerror/utstart
copy and paste the following code and save/exit.
#!/bin/bash
xgamma -gamma 2.2
~/Games/UrbanTerror/./ioq3-urt
xgamma -gamma 1
If "-gamma 2.2" is not bright enough for you, you can increase this value.
Adding this script-file to the Menu so you can fire it up from the dashboard:
open main menu editor and add and item in the games section:
![]() |
| In our case the command is: ~/Games/UrbanTerror/./utstart |
enjoy the game.
