--- Comment #6 from Jörg Höhle hoehle@users.sourceforge.net 2011-05-10 09:37:54 CDT --- Piotr, thank you for finding out about the gamma! I confirm it with Simcity 3000 (not unlimited).
I feared an XOrg/kernel bug when I had to use Ctrl-Alt-Backspace, now it appears every user app can change the gamma and turn the whole screen black, incl. mouse.
Star Fury (demo) -- see bug #27087 -- is also affected by the gamma issue. It uses DirectX7 AFAICT. What's noteworthy about it is that with Wine-1.2.2, a sliding gamma appears to be used to produce a fade-in effect (3 times before it gets to the menu). With 1.3.16, it simply hangs.
That means the gamma functionality was lost even before the above regression introduced the black screen. Anybody with a fast machine to perform regression testing on the downloadable Star Fury demo? My hope is that fixing the gamma might eliminate both regressions.
Is Simcity a DirectX7 app too? Star Fury is incredibly slow (in the menu & credits, never got farther than that). So is SC3 -- bug #26932.
