no i dont't know of any. but one might want to look into
digitalviberance settings in x. it requires some knowledge of how x
works, but the bottom line is something like this, and it will require
some playing around to test it:
Option "DigitalVibrance" "100"
Where 100 is the brightness. 50 is probably a
pretty reasonable level.
