It sounds like your Targa board might be trying to do some gamma correction on its own. Are you setting tconfig to make the gamma 1.0 (which would be gamma-correcting to make it linear on a video device) or are you making sure that the gamma board is booting up in 1.0 mode (with no gamma correction at all)? It's critical, if you want to use 3DS gamma correction that absolutely nothing else in the video chain attempts to do gamma correction. DavidM's note re playing with the brightness/contrast on your monitor is important… plus, some monitors actually do their own built-in form of gamma correction. First, absolutely make sure that the targa is not gamma correcting at all, and then plug a plain vanilla NTSC monitor (preferably composite) into the targa. I'm assuming that you're going out to video. Is that right?
