I've got a question about setting the Framebuffer gamma with r3. I've get a Targa+64 with an NTSC type monitor (a TV with composite video input), and the TConfig batch files I use have been set with gamma at 1.0. I run the little "Set" framebuffer gamma calibration in 3DS, but the two areas look NOTHING like one another, no matter where I put the slider. Am I just not standing back and squinting far enough, or does it have something to do with the picture/color/black_level/contrast/tint settings on the monitor? I have tried displaying a little test pattern image with red, blue, green, greyscale, etc) and setting the monitor to make those colors look acceptable first, but I have no other resource as to what they should look like than my eyes. Do I just set it at 2.0 and leave it?
