Depending on what games you play, sometimes video adjustments can be made under the games video options as well.

Thats what I was going to suggest is to
check under the options in some games..
they have a gamma or brightness setting.
Otherwise you can goto a site like
www.tweakfiles.com (http://www.tweakfiles.com)
and see if you can find a tweak for the video card.?

I've seen some S3 video card control panels that allowed the user to adjust the gamma for D3D and OpenGL independantly, you might want to see if yours allows you to do this as well, maybe? Basics: Right click on desktop, properties, advanced, click on tab that says whatever you cards name is, make the proper adjustment, click apply then ok. See if it's got these adjustments.

Hope this helped some.
