Xorg.0.log for 7.3/1.4.0

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.

this is fixed in radeon 6.7.197 or newer.  You are using 6.7.196:
(II) ATI: ATI driver wrapper (version 6.7.196) for chipsets: mach64, rage128, radeon

oh ok. I'll see about getting flz to update the port. Thanks!
