I did not care about color calibration, because it have no sense if you do not have proffesional camera or printer, etc. So I have default settings. Try to search it on wikipedia and google if you really need it. AFAIK Linux have very good tools for color calibation -- best regards, Aleksey V.

Hi, I have two Samsung 971p monitors plugged via two DVI ports in xinerama mode. They work best for me. If you want to tune them under linux you can use ddccontrol [1], which is also in portage (note: 971p seem to be only in the latest ddc database, so if you'll not find this model there - try to unmask packages related to the ddccontrol) [1] http://ddccontrol.sourceforge.net/ good luck -- best regards, Aleksey V.

That is all you need. Except that you need color calibration or smth similar - you need software that shows you color tuning table, etc. In other words ddccontrol only allows you to change all of monitor parameters that are present in your model, it does not provide any test tools. -- best regards, Aleksey V.

I don't know if this will help, but I have a Samsung 193P. It, likewise, has no controls, but I didn't have any problems with Gentoo. Along with Samsung's directions for installing the monitor, were instructions on use with Linux, so I was pretty impressed. As I said, this may not be of any use to you because it's a different monitor model, but thought I would share anyway.
