The only pointers I can offer you are the XFree86 and XF86Config man pages - looking at the man pages, it appears that you can test out gamma correction with: startx -- -gamma <value> Where <value> is from 0.1 to 1.0 (if you're already running an X, say because you're using xdm, you'll have to do: startx -- :1 -gamma <value> ) You can also specify gamma values for each individual color by using startx -- -rgamma <rval> -ggamma <gval> -bgamma <bval> Once you've gotten the Gamma correction you think you need, you can add a line like Gamma <value> or Gamma <rval> <gval> <bval> To the "Monitor" section of your /etc/X11/XF86Config file (right above the Mode lines). I've found that http://www.seas.gwu.edu/student/gritz/gamma.html has a nice chart for eyeballing one's gamma factor. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
