While I'm not aware of any that *does* use *linear* rgb values (don't 
know about "Sven's" though).

I really doubt that.

Sorry, but I've got the feeling that there is some fundamental 
misconception on your side. sRGB is by definition gamma corrected 
(composed of two functions as shown in my last post) and the linear 
variant of it is called scRGB and this *linear* rgb space should be used 
for *any* kind of math applied to colors (that is why POV-Ray 
internally always assumes linear rgb values). But I don't know what 
FlyerX actually does as I'm just using PoseRay's geometry output in 
combination with my own textures.
Actually I'm not using PoseRay anymore as it does not work on my machine 
(x64 with AMD OpenGL drivers) but this is a different story...
