My question is a little OT here. I have installed the NVIDIA drivers for a geforce3 ti 200 res in x is set at 1280x1024. At the moment I am using nvidia-kernel-1.0.4349-r2. In X-Windows, my colors don't look very sharp. This is mainly seen when I play UT2003. The Red's are pink and the dark grey's are light grey if you follow my drift. I am comparing this to the once used UT2003 windo$e version. Has anyone got any ideas or has hard of this problem before?
One friend told me that X has RGB values hard coded and sometimes monitors might have the variables different to what might be in X ( eg. X = RGB, monitor manufacture = RBG) so a slight color distorment may happen.
