The color of screen seems too bright
I've just upgrage my system. The fonts of tty became very small and very bright after that. I just startx as usual but find the color of screen is so bright that I cannot see the fonts clearly and and kwin effect disappear.
I've reinstall my video card driver and remove xorg.conf but it didn't help. any ideas? thx~

Re: The color of screen seems too bright
It seems the reason is because kernel 2.6.33 has enabled KMS and moved something out of kernel. The ati driver works well after I installed the radeon_ucode from aur, but the color is still weird.
I can only disable KMS :-\

Re: The color of screen seems too bright
Can you try the DVI connection?
Does the problem disappear when you disable KMS?
The font in the TTY is probably small, because of the higher resolution that is possible with KMS. You can change the font size and the colors for the text in the TTYs, though. I can send you more info on that in some hours if you want.

Thanks !

I do not have a DVi cable so I cannot try DVI connection.
It seems a known bug.It has been reported and discussed a lot here:

why both my video card and LCD have a DVI interface but DELL didn't give me a DVI cable. I'm using dell inspiron 518...
