I had the same with the nv-driver. (even during the graphical installation) The gamma was set to 2.2. And it couldn't be altered. After a ' yum update', which got me a new nv-driver, it was resolved.

Thanks Arnout :) I tried to install the dirvers from nVidia (http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_ia32_1.0-8762.html), but it needs the kernel sources :( Where may i find those sources ? (2.6.16-1.2289_FC6), please ?
I didn't install the 'nvidia'-driver but updated the 'nv'-driver, which is located in the 'xorg-x11-drv-nv' package. Applying an 'yum update xorg-x11-drv-nv' would get the new driver, along with all it's dependencies I suppose.

Setup Livna in your yum repos and yum install the nvidia driver. Save allot of headaches.
After major headaches with ATI, I moved to nVidia and haven't looked back. I use the livna rpm for all my computers. :)

Okay, for starters, Nvidia's drivers don't work with Rawhide (FC6) due to changes to the API in Xorg. New drivers will appear some time soon (date unknown) but until then you'll need to use the 'nv' driver supplied with Xorg.
As someone mentioned, when Nvidia do release the new drivers, use rpm.livna.org to install these drivers. Livna's RPMs do some nice things to make the drivers play nice and are far easier to use than Nvidia's own release.
There's two things I know that livna nvidia drivers do:
1. Handle a file confict with MESA/OpenGL packages where NVidia replaces the files, but Livna changes where to look for the files.
2. Detect whether the necessary kernel mod for the nvidia driver exists and then modifies you're xorg.conf file so that you can still use the nv drivers when the nvidia drivers won't work.

So far i can see, there is no kmod-nvidia for FC6 kernel. The newer driver seems to be : kmod-nvidia-1.0.8762-1.2.6.16_1.2122_FC5.i686.rpm 25-May-2006 07:58 1.6M from : http://rpm.livna.org/fedora/development/i386/
hm ???

1) Livna are unlikely to make releases until FC6 final is released
2) FC6T1 has upgraded to Xorg 7.1, Nvidia will need to change their driver in reponse to this.
3) During testing you are better off sticking with the open-source "nv" driver (or failing that the "vesa" driver) rather than the proprietary binary "nvidia" driver, because it will "taint" the kernel, therefore kernel developers will be less interested in any crashes you encounter.

thx a lot Andy. i gonna try this and swich to vesa driver... for my beatiful GForce nVidia agp card :( :-D

Just to say i tried to use the "nv" driver back and it works ! I have no clear-bright color anymore ! BTW it maked my wheel mouse turning green :) Now i have good colors and the wheel mouse is okay !
