Enemy Territory: gamma change impossible with fglrx 8.42.3-1

After the last fglrx update I am unable to change my gamma in Enemy Territory. It just stays very dark. I heard that other people have the same problem (German ubuntu (:p) forums: http://forum.ubuntuusers.de/topic/130081/#1046848).
Now I tried to downgrade but then the older fglrx are incompatible with the current xorg, that gave me some evil error messages. Do I have to downgrade xorg as well now, if I want a brighter ET or is there a workaround?

I thin you could simply  open a console and type

 xgamma -gamma foo

(where foo is a float; 1.0 is default, > 1.0 is brighter, < 1.0 is darker)

[shao@tuska ~]$ xgamma -gamma 1.5
-> Red  1.000, Green  1.000, Blue  1.000
<- Red  1.500, Green  1.500, Blue  1.500
[shao@tuska ~]$

That results in no change. Xserver restart?

A new fglrx came out (8.42.3-3) but it didnt fix the bug.

Sorry, no effect on anything.
