Gamma correction ?

Hi all,
I installed Ubuntu 10.04 (server version), then xorg then LXDE.
Everything is ok but the gamma level is too high.
I'd like to set it as I want to but how can I do that ?
Thanks

The xrandr program, which comes from X.org, provides this control. After you determine the xrandr command that does what you want, you can add it to /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE/autostart to have it done every time you log in.

Thanks for this quick response.
But how can I set gamma with xrandr ?
Is there any file as xconf.org ?

man xrandr gives you the full explanation of xrandr. There appears to be a --gamma switch, although I have not tried it myself.
No, this would not be preserved in a configuration file. That is why I suggested you put a command in your autostart to set it.

Thanks.
This is what it works for my pc:
Code: Select all
xrandr --output DVI-1 --gamma 1.5:1.5:1.5
I also like to know if it possible to set
contrast with xrandr ?
