Shouldn't be any compatibility issue... So...

*  Output is based on the color rules for the given raster.  So, how
   does d.rast look?  If it looks dark, there's an answer...

*  Are you using the "tiled" output option?  Not all TIFF readers can
   handle tiles...

*  Are you using "deflate" compression?  Seems there's more than one
   interpretation of how this method is implemented (i.e. there's an
   Adobe variant...).

*  Please post the commands you tried and any diagnostic outputs.
