Absolute Zero - yes obviously I tried turning up the brightness on the monitor... and the tweaks at 3dfx are for specific games like Q1 and Q2. The rivatuner also doesn't seem to allow for general turning up of brightness in dos mode... unless someone knows something I missed.

I have RTFM'd till I am blue in the face. It's beginning to look like I have to put my ATI 7200 in there, which I really don't want to do.
