Hello
How do you set the Gamma value for the monitor, in Trinity, and in KDE4?
Thanx, Volker

In kcontrol->Peripherals->Monitor & Display, you can adjust the gamma with a slider. Alternatively, you can utilize a monitor calibration file (.icc file) in kcontrol->Peripherals->ICC Color Profile.
Hope this helps!

Trinity was started because we couldn't figure stuff out in KDE4, and because it doesn't work too well :-) For help in KDE4, you're best off asking them, but we'll help out as much as we can with KDE3/Trinity.

I found, that KDE4 still is pretty buggy. And it has a bunch of things that don't work for me, including the monitor gamma correction and the alt/meta issue.That's why I'm trying Trinity. With KDE3, I was pretty content.

That's funny. I have Settings->Control Center->Peripherals, but no Monitor & Display. There is ICC Color Profile, but I have no idea how to create such a file.
The help is broken. apt-file search iccconfig.html doesn't find the help file, which is named iccconfig.html. "apt-file update" produces several occurances of the "Ignoring source without Contents File" error message.
I've looked up "ICC color profile" in the web, which leads to the International Color Consortium. Such a color profile seems to be a large, complicated thing. It appears to be some monitor hardware description. Where do I get this, for my monitor?
Bye, Volker

Monitor & Display setting is probably present only if xorg videodriver is used. If you are using proprietary driver, you should use it to control gamma (this would be nvidia-settings for nvidia driver)

From your monitor manufacturer, or by using a calibrator.
Hi
I've managed to set the gamma value, though not the way it should be done.
A solution is to make an /etc/X11/xorg.conf with "Gamma ..." in the monitor section:
----snip---- Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Generic Keyboard" Driver "kbd" Option "XkbRules" "xorg" Option "XkbModel" "pc105" Option "XkbLayout" "de" Option "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys" EndSection
Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Configured Mouse" Driver "mouse" EndSection
Section "Device" Identifier "Configured Video Device" EndSection
Section "Monitor" Identifier "Configured Monitor" Gamma 1.75 EndSection
Section "Screen" Identifier "Default Screen" Monitor "Configured Monitor" EndSection ----snip----
It works, although the value should be set with a KDE/Trinity configuration option instead. I'm sure I had set the gamma value in KDE configuration, most probably in "display". But now, it has disappeared.
Seems my installation is screwed. I've tried reinstalling KDE4, but the gamma configuration option didn't appear.
Bye, Volker
