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

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!

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?

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.

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.

New subject: [trinity-users] Monitor Gamma - solved
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
