[Digikam-users] [OT] Monitor Calibration with whacky White Point

[Paul Waldo]

Hi all, 

I'm trying to get the monitor on my laptop (Dell Precision M6300) calibrated. I am following the instructions at Norman Koren's page (http://www.normankoren.com/makingfineprints1A.html), using his gamma charts to tweak gamma on the laptop. 

I'm running Ubuntu Intrepid and using the nVidia X Server Settings tool to try to calibrate the LCD. The problem is that it has a horrible color cast, making the Monitor Test Pattern (http://www.normankoren.com/makingfineprints1A.html#Monitor_test_pattern) non-neutral. 

The underlying cause is that this laptop has no way of adjusting the color temperature. It is probably around 9300K, and there is no way to get it to 6500K. 

I was hoping that someone out there has had and resolved this problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated! 

Paul
