I learn something new every day! I have been diddling with
XF86Config for years now, and I never used the optional
Gamma parameter. On my particular monitor, with both
brightness and contrast cranked up all the way, and using
the gamma test file gamma.tif, the gray rectangle matches
at about the top of the scale with the monitor at minimum
zoom. Top of the scale is 3.0. So is this the setting I
should use for Gamma in XF86Config? Or, given these
results, is my monitor to far gone and do I need a new
one?
