Gamma issues

[Bridge]

I finally got this up and running and I'm getting pretty good performance so far. There's only one problem - I cannot adjust the gamma at all. I can drop it all the way down to 0.1 and it is just as visible as it is at 1. It seems like this is a common problem although I haven't been able to find a solution yet. Does anybody know a fix?

P.S. I'm completely new to Linux (just installed the latest stable Debian yesterday) so please excuse my ignorance.

unfortunately the method used to adjust the gamma doesn't work with many compositing window managers (such as compiz that is used by the Unity Desktop environment in Ubuntu).

Do you know whether it is only compatible with Windows/Mac or whether switching to a different window manager might work?
