r.composite uses the colour table associated with each map to convert
the map's value to an intensity.

If 1.8 represents "full intensity", then use e.g.:

	r.colors mapname rules=- <<EOF
	0.0 black
	1.8 white
	EOF

If you want a non-linear relationship, you can either contruct a
colour table using a piecewise-linear approximation, or apply the
transformation to the data with r.mapcalc.
