Hi, i am running ubuntu 16.04, i cant change the brigthness on the urbanterror settings, it doesn't happen nothing. I see other post saying that changing gamma settings would work, but on my case don't do nothing. I am running on the private nvidia drivers.
In addition, when i take a video using de video command, the video have the brighness correctly changed.
It is very annoying, becouse most of the maps you can't see enought things just a dark screen.

.sh file for starting game.
Inside file:

#!/bin/bash
xgamma -gamma 1.4
/home/username/UrbanTerror42/Quake3-UrT.x86_64
xgamma -gamma 1



Don't forget permission to run this file as program(right click-properties-permissions).

I found this -> GAMMA: hardware w/ 0 overbright bits
that can mean that i can't change gamma from software?

In your q3config r_ignorehwgamma is "0" ?

This line in log(XF86VidModeSetGamma: 1.312 1.312 1.312.) shows that r_gamma in q3config is lower
value but it should not make any difference, since xgamma in .sh file forces itself over.

Full log shows no issue.

Found bug descriptions in askubuntu how in some cases xgamma doesn't have any effect in ubuntu 16.04.

Do you have multiple monitors? Anyway, try setting the gamma of the specific display.

example:

xrandr --output HDMI-0 --gamma 2:2:2
