[Bug 18391] New: Postal 2 - Brightness settings apply themselves to the Desktop.

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18391

Summary: Postal 2 - Brightness settings apply themselves to the
                    Desktop.
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.1.20
          Platform: PC
               URL: http://www.gopostal.com/freestp.php
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

I have the Gog.com version of Postal 2, so I don't have the native Linux
version.  But when I run Postal 2 in either a virtual desktop, or fullscreen,
the game's brightness settings apply themselves to the rest of the desktop.

The default brightness settings washed everything out.  And changing the
brightness in game, you could see the desktop getting brighter or darker.

If you don't have Postal 2, you could test this with the free demo of the
Multiplayer part.  You don't have to play the game to see this bug, it'll
happen at the menu.

Correct, that's the way gamma correction from XVidMode works - it applies to
the entire screen not just one window.

There is nothing much can be done about this.

I've found out that if the game crashes, and I get an error message, it resets
the Desktop's brightness back to normal.  But if I quit through the main menu,
it won't restore the brightness.

This appends with a lot of game (for exemple Left 4 Dead 2 or Call Of Duty 4 :
Modern Warefare).
At least, Wine should reset the Brightness level when exiting.
The best would be to apply the new Brightess only to the game Window or Wine
desktop.

Is this still an issue in Wine 1.7.45 or later?

Still an issue in wine-3.1-224-g0f1cb96b69.

Can be reproduced with Runaway 2: The Dream of the Turtle demo.
Each next launch makes the desktop brightness even lower.

Furthermore, as comment 10 said, each time I open the game the brightness
becomes stronger and stronger. If I open it enough times the whole screen
becomes almost pure white. X has to be restarted to fix it.
