first thing I'd do is very closely read the xorg.conf and /var/log/Xorg.0.log generated by *each* system and look for critical differences. It could be something as simple as the dpi setting, for example. It could also be a theme thing. THe default fonts, colors, etc could just be a better setup for you.
Ok, do you know a general way to increase the screen brightness in X? Most gfx drivers in Windows come with a way to change the brightness but I have no driver for this so I guess X.org just picked something generic. I remember when I had my old Nvidia card I could use 'nv' or 'nvidia' driver to get hardware acceleration working. Any idea how to do so for my ATI card? Zach
