When I see photos on web pages, they look darker than they're supposed to.

How do I adjust the brightness?  Is there something I'm supposed to configure in Firefox?  or xzgv?  Or something else?

xgamma. Not sure if it's in XFree86.{dsl,unc}, but it should be in xorg-7.2.uci

Exactly how do I get into xgamma?  I have no idea what you're talking about.

It's a command line utility to adjust monitor gamma (color channels, or all together, brightness).
Man page:
http://www.manpagez.com/man/1/xgamma/

It does seem to need a full X server to use. So no brightness correction for Xvesa. Or how about just in your monitor's own settings?

I can't change the brightness settings in this monitor, because I use this monitor with another computer (with the aid of a KVM switch), and that would mess up the settings there.

I am currently using Xvesa.  What do I need to switch to?  How do I switch to this alternative?  All I've ever used under DSL is Xvesa.
