Description of problem: xorg.conf has a Gamma setting: Gamma gamma-value Gamma red-gamma green-gamma blue-gamma This is an optional entry that can be used to specify the gamma correction for the monitor. It may be specified as either a single value or as three separate RGB values. The values should be in the range 0.1 to 10.0, and the default is 1.0. Not all drivers are capable of using this information. Since you can use this to adjust r/g/b levels separately, it might be nice to be able to create ICC profiles based on this. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): colord-0.1.12-1.fc16.x86_64 How reproducible: RFE
commit 353cf1bf9210da6b28d2ac94631d10ca28557502 Author: Richard Hughes <richard@hughsie.com> Date: Tue Sep 13 17:38:56 2011 +0100 Add --xorg-gamma to cd-create-profile to create custom gamma ramps This allows power users to create a custom gamma curve using the same values and in the same format that was set in xorg.conf. This of course isn't profiling the screen, but it allows people to use a simple color profile when they just want to use a fixed gamma scaling factor. :100644 100644 ce60d93... 462c739...

I tested this icc file... it's different in appearance to what I was getting from X.org. Sep 13 14:12:13 <notting> airlied: i described gamma 0.8 to hughsie as 'set red/green/blue channel to 80%'... is that not accurate? Sep 13 14:15:51 <mclasen> gamma is a bit different from just a percentage Sep 13 14:22:07 <notting> mclasen: it's not linear? Sep 13 14:22:44 <mclasen> no Sep 13 14:23:07 <mclasen> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gamma_correction Sep 13 14:28:20 <notting> mclasen: ok, will talk to hughsie again tomorrow

Can you try http://people.freedesktop.org/~hughsient/temp/notting-80-80-60-gamma.icc please, and tell me if this looks the same as it does from X.org. Thanks, Richard.
No, it doesn't. What happens is that the cd-created profile is more 'washed out' than the X one.
Can you pinpoint where in X that gamma string is read, and how the gamma tables are constructed? I'm going to have to work out how X makes the gamma data from a single value if it's not a simple power log. Thanks.
I'll attempt to dig it up, in the meantime, cc'ing people who may know off the top of their head.
Ping? Got a link to that info?
Not yet, probably need to track down ajax or someone similar.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 16 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 16. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '16'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 16's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 16 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" and open it against that version of Fedora. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 16 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2013-02-12. Fedora 16 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
