For those of you have have calibration devices, I'm looking for your input on a "hack" I'd like to try. No calibration devices currently support Linux, but I do have ICC profile support in Bibble which I'd like to make use of. That catch is, how to generate a profile for the monitor.
I'd like to display a test image (or series of them) on my Linux box, attach a puck to my Linux workstation's monitor, and connect that device to my Window laptop. I'd like to have the windows box take the measurements, but have the puck measure an external (not locally attached) monitor.
The puck wouldn't know what it was hanging on, so I'd just need to be able simulate what it displayed, and put it into some kind of a "manual" mode. Is this feasible with any of the devices currently on the market?

The short answer: no.
You could email someone at colorvision.com and see how they're coming along with their optical for linux project (a little lip service in 2001-ish or something then nothing). |

Thanks for the response... I had a feeling this was the case. Desperate times call for creativity though. I'll look into the colorvision tip and see what comes of it.

Couldn't you just plug the monitor into a Windows box to do the calibration? Or maybe you don't have one accessible. |

The problem is that the video driver makes for different gamma & colors on different platforms. If I were to temporarily boot a windows disk and profile, it wouldn't be the same output that I generate on Linux.
Today I can generate a profile with lprof, but its only a coarse profile that covers little more than gamma. Someday... If I keep dreaming... And refresh my C programming skills :)
