Xorg.0.log

I upgraded from X.org 7.2 to X.org 7.3 after upgrading to FreeBSD 6.3. I even
did a clean X.org reinstall by killing every X-related port there was and
rebuilding them.

Whence before, I didn't have to do gamma correction on my BenQ FP731 + Radeon
X300, now in order to not be blinded when I'm in X, I had to:

% xgamma
-> Red 0.450, Green 0.450, Blue 0.400

But it's still not right. I've reset the monitor to more or less its defaults
(sRGB temp, 40% contrast, 30% brightness). But at these funny xgamma settings
(aren't gamma supposed be > 1 if they really need adjusting?), my whites are
still a bit too bright, but the other colors are really too dark. And if I bump
them up the colors never really fix themsevles but then everything gets all
washed out and I get a headache :( It's as if the whites are too white and the
blacks are too black and there's nothing I can do to get them to move from
their respective extremes (because trying to lighten the colors makes the
whites worse).

Note: using plain-jane DRI, no AIGLX (see the logfile). Disabling Composite
does not affect this problem. I've filed this under driver/radeon. Feel free to
reassign.
